Edit - Apparently this is what places like Fox are pushing now, as well as the Congressmen who have been screaming "ANTIFAAAAAA" since it happened...
A friend of mine insists that America's problem is that the government and society has shifted too "far-left" (Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, et. al.) as well as the media and that's what is causing all this violence.
So, after doing the math on who represents us in Congress, which is the most representative branch of the government, this is what I found.
49.6% of Republicans in office hold a far-right, conspiracy theory ideology.
2.7% of Democrats hold a "far-left" ideological view.
When put into of the entire Congress, that means that 24.1% hold objectively far-right views while only 1.3% of Congress hold "far-left" views.
My methodology is using The Republicans who voted against recognizing the election as legitimate as being "far-right, conspiracy theorists" while I used "The Squad" (AOC, Omar, Pressley, Talib, Bowman & Bush) who are identified as the "far-left" branch of the Democratic party by opponents as well as Bernie Sanders in the Senate.
But yes, tell me more about how it is the "far-left" that is the problem with this country.
The math is bellow, if anyone is interested.
