Indeed: it has turned against the Left and now even moderates see them for what they are: terrorists. I can assure you that you have already lost the 2020 elections.

*** Warned for trolling ***
A few of your posts in this thread are borderline, but calling "the Left" terrorists is what put you over the line and got you warned.

Not what i meant.
To elaborate my problem is my annoyance with horseshoe theory makes it so it took a bit to notice the difference between "Amount of bias" and "Leaning of bias away from center".
I'm not exactly sure yet there's a difference on those graphs.

I think you missed the context, moderator. The action of the Berkeley protesters, who all agree are extremists, are terroristic and those actions are being associated with the left. With all due respect, this is an argument, not trolling.

I think you misunderstood. Regardless of what ratio is in fact realistic, I ask what is your personal breaking point. At what concentration does the individual spoil the collective? If 1/100 BLM members were racial supremacists, would you disavow the organization as a whole? 1/1,000? 1/100,000? Etc.

The poisoned Skittles reference was in the context of immigrants being terrorists, originally, and made barely any sense to begin with. Further I think such a simplistic meme fails to account for the complexity of the issues regarding BLM, immigration, terrorism, et cetera.
My personal threshold would require a great deal more information than a largely arbitrary number of candies. In the particular context of BLM, it's difficult to answer because BLM is not well defined at all. What definition of BLM would we be debating?

1. It very much is. And we have seen this again and again in all the liberal media. Hell even CNN joins in the chorus.
2. This is why.
Let's be frank here: the Left is demonising an entire race of people.

For the sake of this example let us define "BLM" as anyone who publicly decares loyalty or membership to Black Lives Matter or a local division/chapter of Black Lives Matter. As for the various issues at play, those are relevant, but must be weighed and measured by you.
