On one end we have the Trumpsters, who pretend (against all evidence) that there is no racism coming from the Right.
On the other end we have the Regressives, who pretend (against all evidence) that there is no such thing as PC or Identity Politics.
These people enable the very worst behaviors of their tribes, and feed the hatred of the other.
This is perverted, and it's sad to watch. Zealots are a pox on this country.

Who ever claimed there is “no racism” on the right? There certainly are those white supremacist types, it’s just totally overblown by the leftwing media. There are probably only a few thousand actual racists who believe whites are superior to all other races in every way.
But pointing out facts and statistics about race doesn’t make anyone a racist. The term gets thrown around so much. Making jokes and laughing about stereotypes doesn’t make one racist either. An actual racist believes in racial superiority, or at least racial inferiority of other races.
Is wanting to fix the problems that plague certain races make one a racist? According to you it is.
Then there is this whole “institutional racism” argument, which is just another term for “white privilege” in a predominately white society. It’s a stupid argument, considering any society is going to be naturally biased to favor the people that created it. We don’t hear the left complaining about how racist China is, or Japan is to non-ethnic Chinese or Japanese living in those respective countries. Honestly it would be stupid to complain that those countries don’t treat outsiders the same, just as it is for blacks and other “minorities” to complain about not being treated the same as whites in Western countries like the US. All this despite the fact that the US and most Western nations have welcomed non-whites into their countries for decades and many minorities have benefited greatly. So much so that non-whites are flocking to Western countries in order to live better lives. Still haven’t heard a leftwinger explain that paradox.
