F*****m is the extreme end of the right-wing ideological spectrum and C*******m is the extreme end of the left-wing ideological spectrum.
And while it may be true that neither of us understands socialism I would venture to say that the vast majority don't have any idea what makes up their ideology. The difference between Liberals and conservatives is that liberals understand that C*******m is part of their ideological makeup and therefore know to avoid it. Conservatives however haven't a clue that f*****m is part of their ideological therefore are helpless to change course as they move towards it.
Isn't this what Trump preached constantly and what greater victimization than to have the e******n s****n from you by evil-doing liberals? And the thing is conservatives had no idea what Trump was doing or how he was playing to their worst instincts. Instincts that ended in an i**********n in our nation's Capitol.
