Remember: misinformation comes from both sides. Just because you like it doesn't mean you can skip fact checking.
Simply using the term “both sides” is problematic, and not just because it’s a binary fallacy. There aren’t just two sides. It’s misrepresents a system in which there is one single, unified group that engages in violent, oppressive, lawless fascism… and then there is everyone else, covering a nearly infinite variety of ideologies and goals, and many of whom have no representation.

I just think too often in binary terms because (see above) I'm an idiot and it's all easier that way. But I'm always trying to grow and do better so I'll take your critique of my comment to heart.
I guess I'll try to phrase things less binarily in the future. Or keep it short. But thanks for keeping me on it.

They lost that privilege years and years ago.
The side that is doing actually good stuff doesn't need to use misinformation, but there'll be unaffiliated people spreading whatever kind they want on a platform that will have them
