Random Political comments...

It really doesn't matter if Trump actually likes racist extremist groups, because they believe that he likes them and so they in turn like him. And if anyone thinks Trump's symbiotic relationship with right-wing extremist groups is mirrored on the left they are clearly not paying attention.

The extreme left doesn't like Biden and he doesn't like them, the only thing they have in common is their hate for Trump.

 

The "extreme left" doesn't hate Trump, quite the opposite

 

Fear mongering would suggest these people aren't considered the biggest terrorist threat to American lives. The FBI said this not a right wing propaganda machine. Don't spread lies

 

I meant the "far left" you know, the protesters and YouTube progressives.

 

Seeing as the far-left literally starts riots when conservative media personalities like Ben Shapiro or Ann Coulter try to speak at college campuses, I don't see how you came to the conclusion they don't hate Trump. Guaranteed they are gonna be acting a fool if Trump wins re-election.

 

What's the body count?

 

Last time I checked there have been like 30-something people killed during the riots this year.

 

And who was responsible for those deaths?

 

Uh...

I know. It's called the Horseshoe Theory

"In political science and popular discourse,[1] the horseshoe theory asserts that the far-left and the far-right, rather than being at opposite and opposing ends of a linear political continuum, closely resemble one another, analogous to the way that the opposite ends of a horseshoe are close together. The theory is attributed to French philosopher and writer Jean-Pierre Faye.[2] Proponents of the theory point to a number of similarities between the far-left and the far-right, including their supposed propensity to gravitate to authoritarianism or totalitarianism."

I'm familiar with the horseshoe theory. And based off how both the intersectional Left & the actual Alt-right/Richard Spencer obsess over identity politics, I can't really disagree with.

The problem with your logic in this situation is Trump isn't Far-right. If you break down the issues that Trump ran on in 2016 he's basically Center-right/Moderate.




Even left-leaning media outlets like Vox had to admit it:

Key paragraph from the opening segment of the article:

 

NYC this morning, supporters showing love to The POTUS





Rallies of support were(are) occurring all over the country this weekend.

 

Never said Trump himself was far-right. But his followers are.

 

Exactly, I can't think of a president in my lifetime that was as beloved by far-right extremists as Trump is.

 

Reagan???

 

The Republican party under Reagan would have thought themselves too respectable to court far-right extremists. Reagan was as racist as anyone but he wouldn't let himself be seen as outwardly racist.

 

No different than Obama beloved by far-Left extremists.

And let's not ignore that twice Presidential contender Bernie's followers are also far far left-wing supporters.

 

Bernies followers don't kill
And what far left folk loved Obama
Again show me the left version of Dylan Roof or Kyle Rittenhouse?
