@TruthSandwich @freemo and similarly the overwhelming majority of R voters aren't fascists. 😂

I think most people agree on most things, we just describe stuff in absolutely ridiculous ways to make it seem like we're about to descend into war. It's really weird.

Example: BLM lawn signs are used by some as evidence of raging Stalinists who hate liberty and families, but in reality they almost always mean support for victims of police violence and the way it disproportionately impacts people of color. Example: complaining about books is used by some as evidence of fascism and the resurgence of the KKK, but in reality it almost always means a disagreement about which books are age-appropriate for 7-year-olds.

IOW I don't think I agree with either of you :) Yes, lefty-idpol with its focus on attacking foundational liberal ideals is on the rise. Yes, there is an always has been anti-semitism and racism. I think the vast majority of Americans have no tolerance for either of those fringes.
