The brazen escalation since taking power shows that they are instigating. They are not just using rhetoric. They want to hypernormalize masked goons dragging people out of courthouses, out of legislative buildings. This is everything that alt right people claimed was happening (it wasn’t) and now are doing it themselves because if they don’t wield the one ring then their perceived enemies (their countrymen) will. They are deluded at best and malicious at worst.
If a bully calls you names, you can ignore him.
If he starts punching you in the dick, you can still take the highroad.
But when the bully is kidnapping people and sticking them in their basement and you never see them again…
It stops mattering if they were looking for a fight.
At some point a fight is the only way to stop the violence.

I’m sorry, what’s the high road here?
The brutal truth that too many liberals don’t want to accept is that we can’t Vote our way through this.
It’s as if there should probably be some short, somber, but eloquent poem about this very thing.
Personally, I don’t like being punched in the dick. But I understand there are people who do.
