You're correct that both sides are full of assholes.Far too many hyper conservative Christians also don't understand the concept.
Just because "the Left" is causing the lion's share of problems at this moment doesn't mean "the Right" hasn't and won't do just as much fucked-up shit when they get back in power.
I can only speak for myself on this, but my personal reason for giving more time and thought to criticizing the left is because I've spent my entire adult life surrounded by leftists and hearing all the usual fallacious soundbites about how perfect the democrats and social justice are and how it's okay to condemn people based on identity politics and their arbitrary placement on the hierarchy of privilege. The people in my day-to-day life don't need to be told how terrible conservatives are because they've already blindly accepted it. If anything they need to be told they're wrong about why certain conservatives are bad people.
Obviously this forum has a different demographic composition than my rl work/social world, but there aren't as many mindless right-wing dicksuckers here as first impressions might give.
