>Are there right wing extremists who exhibit all sorts of contemptible behaviors? Of course there are. Is that the average conservative? No, no it is not All conservatives are right-wing extremists at this point. > You mention them wanting to enforce their ideology on others, but I'd wager they feel the same thing is being done successfully to them Yes, because they are extremely ignorant and cannot understand that losing their ability to oppress others is not, in itself oppression. >You advocate to "fight to protect [your] ability to live in peace." If that doesn't involve finding common ground, then what exactly does it mean? For me it means fixing our electoral system so that a violent tyrannical minority can't impose their violent ideology on the moral majority of Americans. >This whole idea that it's OK to hate people because because they hold some particular belief leads nowhere good. Bruh, these people want to make it illegal for me to exist. This 'we need to understand rural white grievance' nonsense is so played out. > And in particular, the claim that it's OK to hate them because you perceive them to be hateful is so fundamentally hypocritical it would be comical if it weren't so counterproductive. I don't perceive them to be hateful, they are hateful violent people. This dumb paradox of tolerance stuff you are pushing is very freshman year of college.
