The Democrats did spend years funding the most extremist opponents in their elections to set up easy wins for themselves. A lady even wrote a book about how she won her election this way.
And then she lost to that extremist the very next election.
Don’t misunderstand me, I agree the extremists are responsible for their actions and the extremism. But there are other factors that led to those views being pushed into mainstream politics. The Democrats didn’t help things by funding extremist candidates for the easy win in the same way that the Republicans breeding their core voting block of “I’m a Republican, I vote for the nominee” cultists didn’t help when Trump stole them from less extremist candidates in the primary. Like how TV channels choosing to air 30 minutes of Trump’s empty podium instead of Bernie’s speech during the Democratic primaries didn’t help run a fair primary that year.
Extremists are responsible for their actions, but those who help to push their views aren’t spotless.
Stop deflecting by pretending that there’s no greater issue than just the extremists. The rot’s just gonna come back if we don’t stop it at the source after we deal with the cancer in front of us.
Or are you incapable of thinking about what happens after the extremists are dealt with.
Where did I ever say otherwise? No need to be so defensive. The extremists are obviously the priority, and anyone who says otherwise is either ignorant or a patsy, but we can’t forget those who spread their message. The cultists today, the enablers tomorrow. Gotta keep the big picture in mind so we don’t lose momentum or get complacent after the short-term victories.

Maybe, but the far right are responsible for the actions of the far right. Stop deflecting

Stop
Deflecting
Every accusation is an admission.

AFTER is the key word here. Stop trying to find someone else to blame and look directly at the people who are to blame

If you think that’s what you said you really need to communicate better because that is not what you said
Or maybe you should stop jumping to wild conclusions and making accusations.
It’s not hard to not be an asshole.
