I see just as much far-left propaganda..but everyone just accepts it as fact.

Far-left of center, or far-left of you?
I’m not on Facebook, but I do live in Central Texas. (Alex Jones lives down the road from me.) I hear a lot of far-right propaganda; I deal with with a lot of far-left liberal bullshit — the holier-than-thou/you can’t empathize-with-my-situation-whinging. The liberal stuff isn’t propaganda in the same way as the far-right stuff. The far-right message is toxic, destructive, hateful, and (ultimately) destructive; in particular, I find it (right-wingism?) to be virulently anti-American — even as its proponents vigorously wave the flag.

The left are obnoxious, but at least they are recognizably American.

Now... what is it you mean by “far-left propaganda”? What does that look like? What are they espousing? Mind you, I’m right-of-center compared to East/West coasters, so I’m asking this in honest confusion...
