I do as well.. I don't support BLM as example, not that I think BLM is even remotely liberal or even left, but I don't like that Democrats tried to appease them. I've spoken out on that many times here as well.
The issue is, the connections of the right and the far right extremist are very real. The guy that just shot up that news paper had connections to far right white supremacists. Now I don't think his attack was because he hated black people.. He clearly had a grudge with the paper..
However he was radicalized by the far right.
Meanwhile do you see many or any cases of far left producing mass murders? There has been multiple mass shooters and hate crimes linked to the far right, yet barely anything linked to the left..
In fact the only shooting you can even remotely link to the left that I know of was that DC base ball field guy. Meanwhile there have been abortion clinic attacks, black churches burnt to the ground, church shootings, the Congress women who was shot by a right wing nutter. McVae blowing up the federal building, those Cali Bank robbers who shot up everything.. All these are people from the far right.
There is a reason the FBI listed the far right as the biggest terrorist threat to our country..
In all fairness both sides are not the same threat..
Radical Right = killings, bombings, arson, hate crimes
Radical Left = saving the whales & trees, wanting health care, affordable college and to smoke weed.. ect..ect..
