It might not be the best idea to only follow Fascist Propaganda Network, sorry I mean Fox News lol. You might have heard of groups like Boogaloo etc. that have been caught by authorities for infiltrating and inciting violence in peaceful protests, however you are semi-correct it doesn't automatically label every right-winger a racist. It does show, I've so far condemned any and all violence by any left-winger, as well as the fact it doesn't give a free pass for anything else, but yet to hear a single bad word about these alt-right extremist groups, but not surprised I would be ashamed of them too and try to blame somebody else. The fact that only a few conservatives stand up or say anything against it all speaks a lot about combating racism and spits in the face of all the progress the world has made, as saying just standing idly by could easily be considered just as bad as the racist acts themselves. Heck if any democrat, liberal, left-winger etc. were as openly racist, everyone (including their own) would denounce and condemn them, that's not to say there aren't any.
Only in America and Britain would we have statues of traitors and racists who fought for slavery. Here in the UK, William Wilberforce (one of the main Politian's to fight against slavery in the UK) gets a statue tucked away in some garden and a monument in Hull, but Oliver Cromwell gets a statue in the capital (not saying Cromwell was absolutely evil or that it was bad that he gave power to the government).
You are right Biden really should have mentioned Trump's pathetic and late teleprompter response to white supremist groups, but it doesn't excuse the fact that he once again didn't on live tv when it's such an easy sentence.
Yes it's totally about "whataboutism", it is a very poor defence if you say "but these people done this", however is someone possibly lying as bad as inciting hatred and violence?. Plus does he even mean any of these teleprompter responses and moments away from his base where he weakly condemns his base? Highly doubtful when he can't condemn them on live-tv, while his opponent can condemn his own. If someone stole your wallet and their defence was "well Mr Bob once used bad language and upset me" would you instantly forgive that person and let them have your wallet and all its contents? Me thinks not. Plus it leads to nothing, but walking around in circles all day and nothing constructive happening.
I don't see how I've not been applying the same rules to myself, as I previously stated I am totally against all forms of violence no matter what their political alignment is or who they worship etc.
OMG I'm genuinely so terribly sorry to hear about you getting Covid, hope it's not too serious and that you recover real soon and have no lasting ill effects. Who else will I have such a nice and civil debate
Maybe even try to come to one of the "film nights" on here when you fully recover, would be awesome to hear about any movies/actors/actresses you like etc.
