      Seth Cotlar Retweeted Conor Friedersdorf

      One side's edge is comprised of armed militias, QAnon believers, white nationalists, folks who don't believe in science, and eager viewers of propaganda news channels; the other side's edge is a multi-racial coalition fighting for racial justice & an FDR-esque welfare state. 🤷‍♂️https://twitter.com/conor64/status/1302416978167042049 …

      Basically, the center-right is terrified of the far-left and the center-left is terrified of the far right, and that is causing both to be less willing to criticize the fringe that is closest to them, which many earnestly see as obviously the lesser threat.

      I’m pretty sure by “far left,” Conor means anarchists and RCP people, not AOC.

      If so, Connor's just wrong. Tons of center-left people are happy to condemn violent protests.

      The fringe right has a major influence on the national GOP. The Revolutionary Communist Part has zero influence on the Democratic Party.

      Replying to @beyerstein @JamesSurowiecki @SethCotlar

      Yep. As an example, I like to point out that right wing antivaxxers, such as @RandPaul and many state legislators in @OhioGOP, are mainstream in @GOP, while left wing antivaxxers like @RobertKennedyJr have very close to no sway among @TheDemocrats.

      Well, that's also part of the problem. @TheDemocrats politicians aren't afraid of criticizing fellow Democrats who are antivaccine, while @GOP politicians seem cowed and afraid of criticizing the antivaccine and antiscience cranks in their ranks.

      Are there even any such Republicans left in Trump's party? If so, I'm no longer aware of them...
