Compare and contrast…
There is a very noticeable generational split in the online political factions; the left are strong in millenials relative to the centrists.
I don’t have a good handle on the fascist age demographics, but the GOP are traditionally even older than the Dems. The occasional brat in a bowtie doesn’t change that.

As previously mentioned: the gloves are off for both factions.
“Protecting authors?” From what, exactly, I’d like to know?

I’m not getting a strong “both sides are equal” vibe.

From them or me?
Obviously, I’m a socialist partisan in this; I think that the left are correct on pretty much all counts. I don’t think “both sides are equal”.
And I mostly follow leftist accounts, so most of the highlighted examples I see are of liberals being dicks. I’m sure that a liberal partisan would be posting examples of what they saw as leftist misbehaviour.
I only post a tiny fraction of the stuff I see along that sort of theme, and generally when I’m trying to demonstrate something about changing political currents.

I think I was responding to the tweet, but I realize the futility. I appreciate what your nets bring up, no matter the facehugging expanse of tentacles.
