There's something seriously wrong with the far left. I've seen several articles and interviews now where the leftists can't believe that someone can hold a different view than theirs and vote for Trump. It's as if only they hold the absolute truth, and everyone else is the manifestation of evil. It's quite ridiculous.

We haven't seen any protests or destruction by the right after Biden won. Had Trump won, we'd seen wide spread chaos and looting and burning. It's not for nothing that many stores in large cities boarded up.

What they're doing by keeping these lists is not that different from the Nazis keeping lists of Jews. Very ironic.

Both left and right are becoming more partisan and more unable to form any sort of consensus or compromise. I think that's the real issue, when the goal of each side is only to crush their opponent.
I don't disagree. However, it's ironic that we're seeing Nazi/Fascist approaches taken by the left, who claim they're anti-fascist. I haven't seen that from the right so far.
