That remains to be seen.
I feel that I have already seen. Trump's war on the media is despicable. I have posted endlessly about how opposed I am to attacks on the media. When antifa started attacking journalists, I posted about how opposed I was to antifa's attacks on journalists. I got trolled by people who were very angry about my criticisms of antifa, and refused to acknowledge that antifa did anything wrong, and accused me of supporting Trump's attacks on journalists (even though they knew that I had always been very critical of Trump's attacks on journalists).
Wingnuts on the right defend Trump's attacks on journalists.
Wingnuts on the left defend antifa's attacks on journalists.
I attack anyone who attacks journalists.
The same 'blindeye' mentality exists in segments of both the right and the left.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
