I have a unique line of work that exposes me to both sides of the extremes pretty frequently, and personally I have a rather apolitical neutral outlook. From my perspective, the amount of dehumanizing rhetoric from both sides scares the shit out of me. Anecdotally, I'd say that the extremity of the deeply alt right is indeed worse in their fixation on hatred, but I'd also say that there's a greater fraction on the far-to-moderate left routinely spewing dehumanizing rhetoric about anyone with even remotely right leaning views. On balance, it's hard for me to say one side is superior, except that the extremes are obviously bad. There's some very real concern among conflict professionals that cut their teeth in places like Bosnia in the 90's about America today, and frankly, I understand the fears there.
