"monopolizing the citizen comments section of city council meetings"

That is democracy, giving feedback to elected officials, even if you don't like it.

Vandalism, is hardly exclusive to "the far-right". There are plenty of self described "anti-fascists" publicly smashing things they don't like.

Call out violence when it happens no matter who is doing it.

It's democracy, but also they are acting like assholes.

> Vandalism, is hardly exclusive to "the far-right".

Getting your followers to call in bomb threats over trans-friendly content and events, however, is exclusive to the far right. Which is what this article is about.

This is what-aboutism and threadjacking.
