Problem is the way the far left is acting is pushing people to the right. I hang out with a lot of former leftists, and I'm one as well. Granted you could say it's going the opposite as well, but millennials are waking up to the hypocrisy of the left stiffling opinions and speech. The dems are losing control of their plantation, and people are escaping. They are losing control of the union members as well, and as soon as small business start hiring more, will lose control of the inner cities as those people finally start to prosper.
The far right has had a strong political presence for some time. The far left literally has no political presence at all, and never has. It is grass roots and population driven. I cna't even name a far left politician...not one. My guess is you think the Clintons are far left? ROFL
The right has been driving all of this. No one has stifled free speech....well, Trump is trying to stifle it right now, very hard. But you don't seem to worry about actual free speech, or perhaps you just can't comprehend what the words mean.
The country has been leaning right politically for 40+ years. I literally cannot think of a single time I've ever been called racist, and I'm white. All of the problems Trump and his followers claim are manufactured problems. There is no stifling of free speech, no one taking your guns, noone taking away your freedoms. Well, again, until now. You refused the freedoms of others, and now may knowingly slap some shackles on yourself while chanting the propoganda you hear.
This is why teaching critical thinking so vital! It appears a large numbr of adults do not possess this skill. We have failed out children, and our country.
