One observation I've made recently about politics is both sides, the left and the right, have some crazy people. And both people regard the crazy people on their own side as fringe/few and therefore not worth discussing, not really relevant, while they regard the crazy people on the other side as representative of the other side. Which means theoretically they'd cancel each other out. Except the primary media in this country advocates for (& has adopted fully the positions of) the Democrats/left. So through that bullhorn what you get is crazy folks on the left are fringe and just a distraction, and crazy folks on the right are representative of the right.
White supremacist fools and Antifa fools being the best example of that.....In the end, I can't tell what is fringe and what is real...
