Let us not forget the rabid left.
I was recently pointed to an interview by an Ex BBC reporter. A reporter who is moving to unSocial media. She was talking to a member of BoJo's team when he was Mayor of London. He said "In all the time Boris was Mayor of London he was never accused of lying". She just went on and on and on Liar Liar Liar LIar. You could see it in his eyes. What is the point in talking to this woman she just wants to push her position. He just stopped responding to her except when asked a direct question. It became a monologue.
From my perspective there is virtually nothing to pick between rabid right and rabid left. There is no talking to either of them. I have one like that on another fourm. I just no longer respond to anything he says. Ignore all the jibes and the conversation continues without him. Mostly. Some are still trying to "educate" but there is no educating him. He's all "social reform or bust". Produces dodgy documents which have been robustly rebutted as inaccurate to the point of being useless but because they are not published there is no peer review structure.
There is always talk about the "Rabid Right". As if the left are silent and all have halos. Even by repeating the "Rabid Right" identifier you are advancing their agenda. OK if you believe in it but I don't think you do.
