>>The extreme right is currently gaining a lot of grounds in Western countries. Marine Le Pen received 1/3 of the votes during France's presidential election in 2017. Donald Trump became president in the US.

I stopped reading already at this introductory sentence.

Why painting the other side as extremists? Macron won 66% and LePen 33%.

One side says the other side is communist; the other side says extremist are gaining ground (as if they shouldn’t exist at all).

TBF things like extreme xenophobia, gun toting goons/citizens, anti-abortion mobs etc. do look extreme to me. Trump supporters / American evangelicals are like a mini-taliban.

Edit: I don't live in the US. Take this as an outsider's perspective.
