Republicans did not start this.  You did.

I'm going to move this to the Editorial category and change the title to reflect the title of the published article, as per forum rules.

"We" could all agree to stop Hitlerizing each other, but for one problem. The demonization is very imbalanced. It's much more mainstream among Dems and Progs than among Rs and conservatives. I see and hear Dems/Progs calling people they disagree with "Hitler", "Nazi", "Fascist", "Racist", "Misogynist", "Homophobe", "Islamophobe", and more routinely. Rs/Conservatives use labels like "Commie" or "Socialist" far less often.

This can be seen easily by browsing TBR or Conservative Cave and then by browsing Democratic Underground.

I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Political violence in third world countries isn't uncommon.  Since democrats and rinos want to see that, I would say they are succeeding. ****slapping

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Every time the left doesn't get its way, it has a tantrum.
 
Some are relatively minor, others burn and loot sections of cities.

As long as they get away with those hissy fits, they become more emboldened, and less likely to show self-restraint.
Next time, take 'em to the woodshed.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
