    You’re simply making more bad faith arguments. The post was clearly hyperbole, but using violence is probably a reasonable response to actual fascism.

    You can’t “both sides” this. Both sides are evil, but one side is an existential threat to democracy. One side has demonstrated its not going to play by the rules and is fine breaking the norms that many checks and balances relied on.
    On one side some voters are extreme. On the other side, some politicians are extreme.
    One side has already tried to undermine democracy and actually met with some success and no repercussions.

    It’s not the same, and to call it the same is done in bad faith.
