Executive summary:
Thanks for that.
The other side thinks similarly: rabid supporters of leftist causes, leftist blackshirts ironically named antifa, TDS, high-level democratic functionaries and their billionaire cronies promoting authoritarianism, use of government agencies to suppress opposition, etc. -- all being the direst threat ever to the US. They hope that the other side will wake up to the danger.
Each side feels it is right. Some of each side hates the other side and feels it is evil.
I think most of the people (not all, but most) on each side are pursuing what they think is good.
I have my own opinions on what I think is good (mostly: follow the Constitution, root out corruption, don't force your views on another state, support freedom of speech, get a balanced budget, have free markets, etc.).
But we operate in a whirlwind of propaganda, agendas, and partisanship. Backed by new technology that amplifies it all.
Our world needs to figure out how to deal with that. We'll see how it goes.
We are in tumultuous times.
