After months and months of leftists and liberals twisting the truth of what's in the news and papers - showing the arena at Trump's inauguration to be empty to portray it as though noone turned up when we know it was packed full - it annoys me when otherwise rational people do the same.
You may not like shooting at people, but if people are shooting at you then you have to shoot back.
"It's what the left does" is precisely the reason we have to do it, too. "The left does it" is never a reason why you should not do something, it's exactly the reason why you should.
I don't agree with the analogy. If someone shoots at me, I am absolutely in favour of shooting back at them, then carving their corpse up and pissing on what's left. If someone punched me in the street for no reason, I am in favour of crippling them.
Over the Brexit campaign, then Trump's campaign, I saw leftists post shit about
my side using distorted clips from the news and bullshit pictures. I saw it as part of the moral degeneracy of the left, which I suppose is why it's annoyed me when otherwise rational men (I'm thinking mainly about Twitter here) start doing the same.
