the radical left honestly fucking terrifies me
it was bad enough when radical progressives were getting people fired from their jobs over tweets, but now this??? beating people with steel poles because they went to see a gay, jewish man speak at a college campus??!? throwing fireworks at a building, tearing down barricades to use as weapons, wHAT THE FUCK
conservatives have barely been taken seriously for most of my life. republicans have always been the butt of the joke where i’m from. the democrats were always the tolerant, progressive, understanding ones. the republicans were stereotyped as “homophobic, traditionalist, war-and-money-hungry assholes”.
how the hell did this happen? is this a result of that? have the right been built up to be this terrible dictatorship-in-the-making and now people on the left are convinced anybody even REMOTELY resembling a non-left person is “The Enemy” and needs to be fUCKING BEATEN WITH A STEEL ROD!?
obviously, obviously not the entirety of the left is like this. i know that very well. i DESPERATELY wish there were more vocal and listened to moderate people on the left
but jesus christ why is this such a big event? why are there so many of these lunatics that are beating innocent bystanders in the name of “fighting fascism”?? they’re just using politics as a fucking excuse to do this fucking purge bullshit
