You can't say this after the Sanders campaign, the BLM protests, and the growing rump of radicals in the Democrat caucus.

Both sides have a significant problem with truth, trust, and violence. The real difference is that the right is significantly MORE violent, more distrustful, and thanks to structural racism has managed to retain far more legitimacy in-spite of their radicalism over the past twenty-five years (I'm using the Oklahoma bombings as a benchmark).
