Right wing is more of a threat than any other considerable threat at the moment once we look at the big picture. -in the sense of extremism- All that are involved need to be cautious of racial and ethnic profiling, yet until now it has turned into fear and political rhetoric instead.
Hate talk has radicalized America by targeting fearful and intellectually challenged audiences by dehumanizing and demonizing them. I will not even be mentioning the underlying issue of racism which has also fueled the rise of the right wing extremism.
We have heard the phrase "Over the past year Trump has insulted women, Mexicans, disabled people, Jews, the Chinese, Muslims, immigrants..." over and over again. I am not going to repeat what the media is already constantly covering. Yet I have to remind that once we look at the whole thing, the only ones he hasn’t harmed have served him very well. And that is how we ended up here.
At this point it might be obvious that I am not a Trump supporter nor do I have ANY sympathy for him
, yet sadly I need to say also that I am neither a believer nor a supporter of Clinton. I have expressed my opinion about the situation being "damned if you do damned if you don't.." for the elections this year. I know it does not help/change anything to state this, but this is the case.
It frustrates me that no one is focusing on the hate that is fueling many people with all these election coverages around. As I strongly believe that the right wing extremism is rapidly growing every single day in the United States, it frustrates me when I see people like Paul Joseph Watson online that insists on promoting hate constantly.
The purpose here is, aside from the election, to talk about where we are now. This election damaged the republican (and the democrat, if you'd like) party internally and externally. After November, regardless of who the new president is, the issue will be about what election process has done to feed the right wing extremism we will be (and already are) facing.
To conclude, rather than promoting and focusing on hate to gain votes and an image, reconciling the anxiety over cultural concerns and not just economical concerns should be put under scope. The acts of right wing extremism are not at all covered by the media. (There are countless racist, fascist, hateful crimes committed all across the country within the last year that you probably have not heard about) Governments, instead of tackling it have been inadvertently fueling right wing threat. Even though this may not be the main/central issue we "ought to be talking about" it will be one soon.
The depth of this topic is not even just limited with the United States, it could be considered a global issue at this point.
