This is why we can't even get anywhere. Both sides purposely misrepresent the other.
Right, surely the people who keep doing horrible things and announcing plans to do more horrible are only unpopular with everyone else because of tribalism. Couldn't possibly be their actions.
What would be your description of what both sides want?
Both sides clearly want to say the most extremist strawmans of the other side to rile up support and increase animosity towards the other side.
Yea, the far left of universal health care and diversity. Which has never been in power, unlike the far right.
Really? You turn this into a mis-characterization of the left? My point is that there are equally radically Twitter claims from the right. For instance, you don't think there are Republican-voting individuals who think Democrats are coming for all their guns?
I do, but that's not the far left, that's the liberals. You go actual left and you keep your guns to protect yourself from the right wing lynch mobs that is ant the gays to die.
