I almost corrected myself right after posting because it does appear on both sides, I just think the consequences are different.

While I'm not sure it's always in the best interests of the country, I totally understand people being driven by self-interest (on both sides). Personally I think the biggest contradiction/hypocrisy on the left is the younger people with the free speech issues in regards to opposing views (though I think there are lines there that should be discussed). But overall, like you, I find the conservative side's much more exploited, pervasive and dangerous. A lot simply has to do with the power they are currently wielding. It's more dangerous because they are able to act on it. Might feel differently if the balances of power were tilted the other way.
