I agree that we're seeing extremism from both sides play itself out in our country, and that both sides need (which extremists are on the same side whether they realize it or not) to come together to address this. Conservatives have latched on to poor, white America and played off their fear to win. That's the road they chose, even by looking the other way and not addressing the role white nationalist/KKK/white supremacists played in their victory last election, and now they need to own it. It would go along way with those on the left if those on the right admitted they were wrong and apologized to minority America for propping up domestic terrorists. They refuse to admit what they've done, and now they're playing at old card of "it's both sides fault and we need to come together." This is complete ********, and it's insulting. They're fence sitting and avoiding looking in the mirror on this issue. Progressives have been fighting this for decades, and conservatives before them, and conservatives have sat back looking for excuses alleviating them from culpability. Own it, realize you were wrong and made a mistake.
Conservatism in America houses white hate groups, like it or not, and avoiding condemning them by name is chicken ****. They've done this since The Southern Strategy was deployed, and they've reaped the benefits. Now own the consequences, put on the big boy pants, and start helping those of us who have actively spoken out against racism in America. We have a problem with the race majority in this country. Some white people feel like they are losing power and they're panicking, and now murdering opposition in broad daylight. The longer the right draws this out and refuses to take responsibility for not clearly condemning white supremacy will only make things worse. There is no "many sides" to this problem, either you stand with white nationalists or you fight against them by standing firmly with those that oppose them. There is no grey area here, as much as you want to think there is.
Swallow your pride. Admit you're wrong and let's move on and fight extremists together. The longer you wait, the stronger they become.
