Politicians used to argue their points with each other. Sometimes the debates even become heated. But politicians of the past usually didn’t KILL each other and their opponent’s supporters over a political point. They didn’t usually slap a hat signaling alliance with a candidate off the heads of people wearing them, nor did they assault, even kill people for wearing them. School students are even suspended from school for flying the flag of one candidate while others are celebrated for displaying the flag of another. Today, roving gangs of thugs travel about the country sparking riots, assaulting, and even murdering supporters of one candidate while carrying signs showing support for the other. Professionally-made signs somebody (nobody knows who) paid for, and the passage for which that same person or shadowy organization paid for. Politics has become a business not of just disagreement on policy, it has become a business of HATE. I know there is precedent for that in the Nazi “Brown Shirts,” but it has never been that bad in this country, to my knowledge. I absolutely hate what politics has become in this country, but I don’t want to kill people over a difference of opinion. Nor do I wish to use deadly force in DEFENSE of my political opinions because the other side wants to assault, or even kill me for thinking that way. That is “Banana Republic” stuff, when people who ran out pf arguments resort to violence on their political opponents. And it’s all so childish when it should be adult. (Just common sense)
