Saying "there are extremists on both sides" is an easy way to dodge & minimise the blatant, totalising way conservatives are entrenching their prejudices into politics and law.
The imbalance between the desire for dignity on the left and the escalating clamour of antagonising supremacism which has reached mainstream on the right is simply staggering.
Never let people get away with both-sidesism. It's a horrid lie.
@sumpnlikefaith well said.
