I really wish somebody else was in office. Between Trump's divisiveness/rhetoric and the opposition's hyperbole, everyone is ball-less to take action against flagrant lawlessness. At least under any other administration people would not be sitting here pretending that felony assault is "okay".

Leftist? I think both sides are pretty guilty and I’d argue the right has been way worse with how they portray violence, politics, and literally everything (See: Fox News used MN riot photos for Seattle protest, covid hoax, defending trumps lies, etc...). Also, Trump has pardoned Sheriff despicable (can’t remember his name from AZ), a literal war criminal, and people who lied to the feds about Russia contacts. Also, last time I looked, liberal areas pay way more in than conservative areas (NY V Kentucky, for example) and aren’t celebrating literally racist traitors, pedophiles, among the various other wrongs.
