There we go, perfect example of extremists making discriminatory statements and unable to engage in discussion. I care about politics plenty, I just don't subscribe to one dimensional propaganda not supported by data.
Protip: attacking everyone who doesn't share your extremist and hateful views doesn't really make you look any better or change their mind. But I do get it gives you an outlet to be channel all your hate and blame others when you are just too dumb to understand nuance.
They took the time to specifically explain to you multiple times that they are in no way saying both sides are the same. You simply aren't listening.
I have a family member that does this. They refuse to speak ill of Donald Trump. They are extremely right leaning, and they are always making assumptions about others.
I didn't even say right and left are the same, I specifically mentioned extremists who are a minority on both sides.
