“Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.” - Robert E. Howard

No, it doesn't. It just means they are no worse than Democrats despite all the caterwauling to contrary.
Frankly, I'm sick of the entire constant stream of bull$#@! coming from both sides. I expect I am not alone. Trump is a $#@!ing moron and the best thing he ever did for this country is beat the Hillary corruption machine in an election. For that, I'll always be grateful but that doesn't mean I have like him.
What do you think it says when he thinks the Leftness around here is smart? When at best they can copy and paste some link without mocking those on the Right at that moment?
If there are any here on the left that do have some intelligence. Then they either playing in the game room or talking in PMs with each other. As they certainly aren't engaging.

Left and Right, Male and Female, whatever. Both sides have smart people. However, most smart people are drawn toward the center, not the extremes. The extremes are the territory of the insane, the very angry and the ignorant. Are there smart insane people? Yes, there are, but they are a rarity. However, they do quickly dominate the stupid and the ignorant.
If you want to hear the Nut Job view, tune into MSNBC. Those people are getting more insane by the hour. I just heard one say that our democratic form of government is in a complete collapse.
Who represents the "FRNJ media" and can you give me an example of a partisan Trumpery revelation?

Well....the Political left does push people from the center Right over more to the Right, when it concerns dealing with the Political left. Such cannot be said that it is the same for those on the Right. That doesn't mean they gave up being center Right over policy and ideology. It just means that they aren't going to put up with the Political left coming with any disrespect anymore. That time has ended.
Hence the concept of you get what you give, and the left can be trained to learn that concept. One way or another.
As to the Extremes they are what they are and most have always been that way from the start.

Works both ways for some, not so much for others. Some people are resolute enough to stand their ground while others shy away in fear and seek the comfort of a mob. Political extremists are rare but loudmouthed. We'll hear about the $#@!ing AntiFa and Aryan $#@!s, but rarely about sane, middle-class Americans working 9-5, M-F who are looking forward to the weekend with their kids.
Yes, there'll always be extremist $#@!s, but they continue to be rare for a reason. Either they mature and move on or they end up in jail or hanging themselves in the basement.
This link breaks down American party affiliation and leanings in a variety of ways. I'm looking for a link breaking down percentage of extremists and sane people.

Regarding political extremism in the US, although pure extremists continue to be rare, more and more Americans appear to be moving toward the extreme end of the political scale:
