The Right will never admit that their exaggerated, overblown reaction to "radical Islamic terror" has anything in common with The Left's exaggerated, overblown reaction to "white nationalist terror." And visa versa. But threat inflation is a thoroughly bipartisan enterprise

Again, the point isn't about admitting commonality with left or right or whoever, it's about the specific point you are making. Facts don't back it up. You don't back it up. You just use the "both sides" moral superiority blanket as a shield.

There is no more fatuous editorial trope than, "both sides are mad at me so I must be right." No, it just means everyone can see how silly your comment was.

"Both sides are motivated by the same emotional impulse, if one accepts that pushing to make society to be more unequal is the same as pushing to make society more equal."

It’s David Frum in 2002 about the “civilized world” & Frum in 2019 scapegoating immigrants, it’s in state & industry, political parties. It’s within Freedom Foundation trying to screw workers. It’s vigilantes who harangue homeless & immigrants here.

You’re suggesting people deny reality. I have a laundry list of provable phenomena (that I really wish I didn’t have.) I just canvassed against a ballot measure they ran! You’re asking me to deny reality. But rather than feel slowly invalidated, I’ll take it as a compliment!

Maybe I’m influenced by personal biases, but the aspect of Islamic terror being potentially a “network” could justify it being scarier in someone’s mind

And it's always people in small towns thinking there's terror on the horizon and people in nyc/chicago/sf thinking white supremacists are all around them lol

I think if anything the media has overblown the reaction to islamic terror.

That depends on what country you live in and what media you take in.

Actually it's about 1/3 each left and right denying the assertion and 1/3 fascists expressing great replacement conspiracy theories or blaming muslims for being killed

chimps run together trick is to use the right persuasion, at the right time, to disengage their chimps (& allow them to exercise) to allow the humans to take over. Its why, for example, when Fox talks about the
#GreenNewDeal they need to embrace a#GreenEnergyDeal. Green is goodThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Or it reflects there is a difference, and more nuance than a tweet can convey. Especially on an issue as controversial as this.
