Agreed I applaud anyone who goes and challenges the hard right fascists that have been emboldened by Trumps election.

Claiming to be something, while doing the opposite is the oldest trick in the book.

Antifa ARE the fascists. Remember how they tried to kill free speech with violence at Berkley?

Can't get much more fascist than that.

Where are you going to get a physics professor that teaches climate change is fake. Where are you going to find an economics professor that says lowering taxes raises government revenue (lol). Half of modern conservative positions are so empirically false that it's hard to find anyone in academia who takes them seriously.

Our laws give us the right to protect our boarder and deport illegals and DACA.

They are parasites preying on the American Taxpayer and stealing our jobs and precious resources.

Yes that is certainly the right wing view...

When anyone thinks in terms of "sides" it shows a stale brain. There are no "sides" and there certainly is not one you make up out of thin air.

Tell me, is this your "side"? I would hope not..

If one embraces your idea of "sides", well - then, as I said, we need Scientology and FLDS and many other news outlets (they probably exist somewhere)....

Nothing is stopping you from starting a Blog or posting on Medium or any one of thousands of sites where you can spread your "side"...

But the Right is definitely skewing Fascist and Authoritarian when it claims it deserves...for FREE...to be promoted by profit-making corporations. It doesn't.

How would we ever know, since their voices have been silenced by the fascist left.

Would you speak up knowing that some liberal was going to clock you with a bike lock? And the thug with the lock was college professor.

Reality has a left wing bias. Conservatives deal in conspiracy hence there general lack of success in academia.

There are always two sides (or point of view) to every story. Only fascists wish to silence opposing points of view.

The thinking man listens to BOTH POV's and decides for themselves.
But the left can't deal with that.
