See in another branch. However, regarding this:

> There are three to four orders of magnitude of difference in how inflammatory each side is.

Not really.

One can only agree with this statement if he considers that calling Trump and his supporters Nazis, fascists, racists, etc, is not an inflammatory rhetoric, but a totally acceptable objective truth that just truthfully describes them. (Btw, do Nazis deserve to be shot on sight?)

However, if one doesn't consider this an objective truth, but a violent dehumanizing rhetorics, then suddenly he finds that one side routinely smears the other in the worst ways possible, and that the total amount of such rhetoric vastly drowns the messaging from another side.

> You are wagging your finger and scream "Here’s a monster!" but what you are looking at is a mirror.

That's a nice straw man you made. Please, refrain from messaging me again, if you don't plan to argue in good faith.
