I've said it before and I'll say it again, Right Wingers are like the bully who keeps punching his victim until his victim finally punches back. Then the bully says: "You see, you see! That's why you deserve to be punched! What damnable hypocrisy!
Thirty years of Conservative hate radio and twenty years of hate television has brought this that we see now happening. You reap what you sow.
No. The alt-right is the bogey-man that the left has mostly invented because the true extreme right is a tiny fringe but trust the left to fan the flames of something into a real problem.
What we are seeing is pushback against the idiotic leftist interference with people's lives that has gone on too long and too far. They overreached and people got tired of the crap and the silent majority has had enough of being told how to live by a bunch of whiney hypocrites.
If you truly believe that things people say on the radio has to be met with rioting in the street and people being attacked then you are a fool who is deluding themselves.
The jackboots of the left are not there because they respect freedom - they are there because they resent their power being democratically taken away. Be careful, one day they will come for you.
Who really loses are genuine libertarians and the true liberal ideals - stuck between knuckle-dragging morons on both sides.
But right now if I fear a "side" I fear the left because they are so unbelievably dumb that they would rather have extreme fascism than any conservatism and are happy to sell any and all rights in order to achieve it. Great job, well thought out plan. At least when the real fascists arrive they'll slaughter them first.
