Don't conservatives realize their constant liberal bashing is starting to lose its mojo?

As if blaming an entire political side for the actions of some [b]far[/b] left individuals made you so much more tolerant than them...
I'll say what it is: shameless generalization. Bet if liberals started blaming all of the right for what some alt-right assholes did it'd be the good ol' "intolerance of the left", huh?
Now [b]that[/b] is hypocrisy.

[i]Some[/i] conservatives =feel that way, but speaking out about, or even not joining in full force with the name calling and blaming the "others" is not the way of things on the "right" at the moment, between Trump and Fox, both of whom seem to be trying to define politics as a zero sum game where anyone who even utters a negative peep, much less critcizes DJT gets labeled things like a traitor, an agent of the deep state, or an enemy of the people.

The Republican party has become the party of Trump, and emulating him by blaming others and name calling seems to be the best way of showing patriotism and loyalty at the moment. Saying the equivalent of, Obama was not born in Kenya, is not terrorist, etc. is out of vogue.

And honestly, I don't see it much elsewhere, but if you watch Fox or read Breitbart, you will see plenty of examples of liberals blaming all Conservatives for the alt right and being intolerant, along with overprivileged and whiny blacks and muslims, etc.

I'm not saying the left isn't hypocritical, mind you, but at the moment, blaming the "other" for everything seems to be more or less owned, if not by the entire "right," at least by the segment of the right that is in charge, is controlling the narrative, and is willing to punish even others with similar ideologies.
