As above, this post substitutes a straw man for an accurate report. Ah, the straw man. Fake news before fake news was a thing. 

I'm actually not disputing that there are a few fringe elements who enjoy bullying people. The biggest problem is suggesting this is somehow unique to the progressive segment of society. As I have already pointed out, capitalists (most corporations) and right-wingers are just as happy to abuse their power. The second problem is that your straw man suggests that these groups are equal now, when there is much data showing otherwise. It's not hard to find, so feel free. 

As power shifts from one group to another, they tend to behave in similar ways. When the right-wing is in ascendancy, it also uses power inappropriately. One example is voter suppression in the Southern states. Another is the sharp uptick in anti-Muslim commentary (+ violence!). 

Anyone arguing that this is the province of either Right OR Left can only be a partisan. Go back to your Orwell!
