anti-left sure, but more like "anti everyone who isn't part of a small set of VERY far right movements by general western standards, many affected people just don't know about it yet or are willful ignorant about it"

you are centrist and have a good point to complain about not liked by them, sorry you are now left

you are conservative right, but have very different views about separation of religion and state, sorry that is woke you are now left, too

you care bout civil right of all US citizens and especially want to better protect workers against abuse, oh dang I fear that is "left extremist" maybe even "domestic terrorist"

Now many people might understand what the Right was going through during the Biden administration, when they were censored, spied on, and arrested.

Will this stop? or will we see the same thing again when a Democrat becomes president (with no articles about it and nobody mentioning it)?

"How dare they monitor my violent terrorist actions. We only shot 3 people at an immigration facility. We only organized a massive law enforcement interference campaign. How DARE THEY".. Leftists will always use your principles against you. They don't care about the second amendment. They want you to care about it so they can bully you into allowing them to be violent and gain political power. Give me the down votes I don't care. Leftists are insane and nuance is lost on their utopian beliefs.

If current so called left wasn’t so radical, crazy and obviously corrupt at times - i would have been very dissapointed by this.

You will fail to achieve anything if you mentally approach these things from a partisan view (like all the comments, general public).

ICE should not be running surveillance Ops on Left activists or immigrants and the FBI should not run surveillance Ops on Right activists, J6 rioters.

The tools violate all of our rights full stop. Please don't support this garbage again when Dems sweep into power, trying to debank ppl for X tweets etc.

Ok. And I'm supposed to do what with this information, exactly?
