I don't need to know OP personally. The knee jerk "right is the way they are because of the left" gives the game away.

Left is responsible for ehat they so and never ever excused with "right made them do it". Not even when they were 100% right in the hindsight.

Right is not responsible for what they do. They are victims of circumstances even when they caused the circumstances.

I see it not as 'right is the way they are because' but 'this is what the right exploited, and I too allowed myself to go down a crappy path'. It's a pretty brave, honest, and self reflective post.

I don't think it's at all helpful to think of political groups as monolithic stereotypes like this.
