It's a horseshoe.
And the far left and the far right actually have a lot of overlap.
And indeed, that's part of Trump's coalition with Bobby Kennedy Jr.
and all that, all these conspiracy theorists, Bernie voters who turned into Trump voters.
The far left and the far right,
are not equally powerful right now, right?
You know, the far right is, you know, Donald Trump is the president of the United States.
right the other thing that's different even in the anti-israel anti-semitism bit is this outward embrace of hitler behind closed doors that we're seeing a pattern of that's not the same i want to be real clear but i also want to challenge folks to not simply buy into this article as a clear sign of moral superiority because that's not the way we're going to get out of this everyone's got to police their own extremes everyone needs to apply their principles consistently

Look, we could talk about, there's all sorts of book, Accidental Courtesy is a great documentary about a blues musician who converts and de-radicalizes members of the KKK.
