The real problem isn't right wingers or left wingers. The real problem are extremists who are willing to resort to violence and to destroy civic discourse. One extreme fringe has a higher body count, which is still in the same league as being hit by lightning. The other extreme fringe has a lesser body count, while the press is covering for their excesses, as the numbering climbs towards 4 digits.
What we should be concerned about, is how the dishonesty and bias distorts the information available to the public, and destroys civic discourse.

Cheers, agree on the larger point.
I still think antifa is blown out of proportion for propaganda purposes
It did remind me of the congressional baseball game shooter, who as far as I remember, didn't kill anyone (though not for lack of trying). That was stacked against several more successful mass murder attempts from right wingers.
