What utter bullshit! Of all the excuses on the right for the rise of Trumpism, the excuse that "the radicalism and nastiness of left drove us to Trump" is among the lamest. It's projection. 1/ https://twitter.com/mattklewis/status/1049997739105443840 …

Agreed. It's a pendulum swing, and the swings seem to be getting bigger. The current Democrat opposition to Trump's ridiculous regime will give rise to/empower a new radical Left.

I'm not so sure I agree with that. There's nothing in the Democratic Party on the left that's anywhere near as radical as the Republican Party now. Compared to the radical right, which rules the Republican Party, the radical left is tiny and unlikely to become as influential.

Yea, I mean we know reactionaries are reacting to what they perceive to be threats. But they also make up or exaggerate threats, because that is their fuel. Blaming the left for this is silly as there is no way for them not to piss off the right other than stop existing.

I don't think blaming individuals makes any sense. There's a worrying trend in political polarization, ideological silos. It's unlike what we've seen in the past. http://www.people-press.org/2014/06/12/political-polarization-in-the-american-public/ …pic.twitter.com/P5COZpDUjk
