Because 76 million people aren't voting for an ultra-leftist. But they're voting for an ultra right-wing nutjob.
Because you can't even fill your fingers of communist driven politically motivated homicides on one hand but I'd lose boredom counting the number of right-wing extremist acts of politically-motivated homicides.
Because, clearly, the right-wing wing extreme is the fat greater threat. That you even propose this speaks to the very sensationalist arguments of McCarthyism itself, peddled by none other but right-wing extremists.
It is thus a blatant false equivalence fallacy, and right-wing extremism is causing overwhelmingly more damage to this country than any other group.
