Empathy is good. Calls for unity are good. But let's stop pretending that the "two sides" are symmetrical and morally equivalent. Stop saying, "oh, you think X is bad, but the other side just thinks the same about you". Along every dimension, the picture is incredibly lopsided.

And no, CNN & NYT are not equivalent to Fox News. Conspiracy theories against Biden's family are not equivalent to Trump's actual corruption. Antiracism activists are not equivalent to far-right militias. Life-saving medical facts are not equivalent to life-endangering lies.

QAnon sex fantasies are not equivalent to the 43 accusations of sexual assault against Trump. The findings of climate scientists are not equivalent to the proclamations of conservative think tanks. And so on. The "two sides" are not, in fact, symmetrical.

One more: Twitter is not equivalent to Facebook. If you're one of the people responding to this thread with "...but Antifa": I urge you to get off Facebook. You're being manipulated.

Do you not see how circular your logic is here?If it were actually so self evident tour preferred policies would make everyone better off, half the country wouldn’t vehemently disagree with you. That simple thinking makes it look like your opinion has been manufactured for you
