Nobody is celebrating the fact that the right wing is a threat to civility, we're concerned about it. Don't forget that the Muslim terrorists are ALSO right wing. They, like their conservative American counterparts feel entitled by their faith, by loss of political and cultural influence and discomfort with permissive liberalism which challenges their rigid traditions, juvenile sexuality and misogyny on many fronts.
The truth is, everyone knows WHY conservatives so often turn their magical thinking into acts of violence- because you can't fix stupid- but too few are willing to confront, on the streets, the false narratives in their faith, free market religion and constant cultural fearmongering. The conservatives are COMFORTABLE with being that oppressive ax poised over the necks of civil society, demanding that we honor their delusions or suffer for it. So, when you say 99.9% of conservatives are "peace loving", what you forgot to add to that statement was the qualifier "as long as they are in charge of everyone and everything". When they feel their hegemony is threatened, they will do anything to punish society for straying from their self-proclaimed holy purposes.
It's a really ****ed up situation but it's what we actually have to work with and it's been a perpetual drag upon the machinery of progress throughout recorded human history.
What a full of crap statement.
I could cut & paste articles all day long about liberals/democrats being violent and spewing out fear mongering at their political events. You people can't see past your own noses, while demanding others live and think like you do.
