Honestly, because the left's extremism is becoming more prevalent, mainstream and injected into media, educational institutions, etc. I focus more on them, but trust me, I've seen enough alt-righters (and the like) that are just as pathetic.
And I understand poking fun at the right back then. Like you said, they were in basically a similar spot as the left is in today; pendulum swinging and all.
I just wish we could make the pendulum stop swinging at all, but I'm guessing that's a pipe dream.

Nothing new. People thinking they are the greater good and voice of reason, when all they bring is hateful speech and questionable means.
I did. Anyone can justify violence to others like that. If I beat you up because you said something that scared me, would you be saying "Well, I scared you so it's justified."
No, you are not responsible for the fear that I create or breed in my own mind, and Trump isn't responsible for the "Omg he's the second Hitler he'll take away all our rights and destroy America and nuke the whole world." bogeyman some of these rioters have created in their mind that drives them to such fear that you claim they are suffering.
Expected. People don't like not getting their own way.
They'll get bored and go home in a couple of weeks.
"You are delusional"
such compelling argument. much logic.
so, to reiterate; nowhere did i say it was "justified". only that it has a root cause.
And trump IS responsible for his own words, which have created that fear.
if i threaten you, then yes i am responsible for the "fear in your mind." that is how communication works.
He didn't threaten anyone, he didn't create this fear in people's heads. People themselves took it to the extremes of turning Trump into a bogeyman who would take away all their rights and destroy the world. He is not responsible for that.
And you were justifying it by pretending there was a good reason for there to be riots.

The people protesting Trump are a joke. There is no point in trying to rationalize their behavior. They need to grow up.
