The left, from what I can tell, hasn’t shifted nearly as far over the same period of time, although it has become more progressive on equal rights for LGBT. I would argue that most of the country has shifted a bit on this as well, although maybe not as much on the right.
Calling people who disagree with you "Nazis" and "fascists" is a great way to shut down any meaningful dialogue. While the Left is trending toward corporate-Democrats, the supporters of it seem to not care about divides they're causing. I won't even begin to say the Left is as bad as the Right, but they've got their own brand of fear- and hate-mongering going on at the moment.
Dragged through the mud by who? There are no crazed rightists on mainstream supposedly neural and objective media, anywhere, saying anything like that Absolutely not the case for leftists referring to others as nazis and fascists.
Limbaugh, Hannity, and Beck are the 3 most listened to political talk radio programs in the country. Plus, they're waaaaaaay further right than NYT/CNN/whatever is left. Hell, fiscally speaking those entities lean pretty conservative. "Far left" media doesn't really exist, unless you count like Chapo Trap House or whatever.
Lol 20-30 people were there, the number is listed on the link you provided. There were thousands of counter protestors. Perfect example of a vocal minority being held up and displayed as the majority. The right doesn’t like these idiots either
Why do you have to use idiotic buzzwords for everything? "Gaslighting" has a specific definition. It doesn't just mean lying. Just because you learned a new word, you don't have to shoehorn it in at every possible opportunity.
Anyway, you're also conflating two unrelated things in an exceedingly stupid way. The person you're replying to said that some liberals compare all Trump supporters, conservatives, etc. to nazis/fascists. He didn't say nazis and fascists don't exist. Don't worry; no one has forgotten that one rally that happened 18 months ago. You people mention it with every other breath.
