both the far-left and the far-right are every bit as despicable as they claim each other are.

False Equivalence™

I think that the far-left and far-right are both despicable and I think that both are a threat to American freedoms. Maybe in different ways, but both are despicable and threatening enough that I don’t prefer either.

Can you give a common example of something you consider to be “far left” and “a threat to American freedoms”? I ask because I consider myself pretty far to the left, and am not sure who I am threatening.

have you ever protested in a manner that delayed an ambulance? I think that is the kind of extremist he is talking about.

How is protesting in a manner that delayed an ambulance specifically “far left”? Couldn’t a “far right” protester delay an ambulance? I was hoping for some examples that were specifically “far left”.

Okay, let me rephrase the question. Have you ever, while protesting some leftish cause, protested in a manner that delayed an ambulance?

Still not a good example. Protesting badly is not a left-wing policy. The leftist policy being advocated isn’t what blocked the ambulance.

Furthermore, protesting badly isn’t even necessarily “far left” or “far right”. Someone could protest badly AGAINST a far left or far right policy.
