That doesn ' t seem to be enough to stop it , though . People have been calling Trump out for a very long time now , but he is immune to criticism . His followers don ' t careafter all , the critics are all liberals . I like how the article said said it was confident the United States can tackle the issue . Wish I shared their confidence . The right is so strong in this country , and the left is so weak . The right is capable of enduring scandal after scandal with no political consequences , while the left can be bogged down for years through totally artificial nonsense such as the birther movement or Clinton ' s stupid emails . Leftleaning voters are so easily demoralized or marginalized due to their location , rightleaning voters are unshakable in their convictions and blessed with overrepresentation due to their rural placement . I don ' t think the US is capable of tackling farright extremism . We ' ve struggled with it for a long time , and it only seems to be getting stronger . Whether its the antigovernment extremism of the Tea Party movement or the white nationalism of the altright , they ' re winning on all fronts .
