Have you heard of the horseshoe theory?
At the end of the day far-left and far-right are not so different.
One is trying to steal fundamental human rights, pull off a revolution of medievalism, has the worst performing sitting president by every metric as its populist mascot, is hellbent on a christojihad, causes a recession by failing to do its primary job of passing a budget, performs wonderfully as a Russian military proxy unit that completely sabotages Ukraine, fights for criminal gerrymandering because they are hated by any educated sane person or any halfwit that can disconnect from tainted billionaire corporate media garbage and think for themselves; there is nothing remotely close to these two, unless you are or are massively diluted by psyops.
Hell, if anyone gives a damn about women and unalienable human rights, they should punch any Republican in the face at every opportunity.
You are exactly the guy a don't encounter in real life. But I think lemme is right. The reason I don't hear you, is because if you advocated for punching conservatives at a bar, you would get hit by a conservative. So you don't say it out loud when that's possible. You give permission to others when there are no consequences to yourself.
