I agree with the first part of what you've said, however I don't think that has any bearing on the second part, with which I'd strongly disagree.
Your earlier point about the right wing politicians is valid-- but it feels like you're trying to use that in order to somehow diminish the equally valid point being made here.
It's a cheap tactic. And right wing people will do it to you the next time they're able to. And then you'll do it back to them again.
Those kinds of things will detract from what is perhaps the most pertinent reality in all this, a reality of which both you and I are keenly aware-- almost none of our leaders give a shit about us
