It's the leftist mainstream media that's equating these.  That's most certainly not my side.

Of course, there is some of that, but it's Fox News and commentators like Rush Limbaugh that pound that trope to death.  It's the same with Antifa, which has the benefit of "balancing" the neo-Nazis that make the alt-Right totally toxic.  There have always been one-issue zealots in both parties, but the GOP started to embrace theirs (e.g.the Tea Party, gun nuts of all stripes and the hyper religious fundamentalists), and needed to stalking-horses on the left to deflect from that.  That doesn't make SJWs universally bad or good, just committed.  Whether that is positive or toxic is up to the people involved.  Most seem to be rational if a bit extreme.  It's hard to see the alt-Right in the same light.
