Yeah my information mainly comes from my children, 2/3s of whom were democratic leaning before trump and are firmly in that direction now. I avoid the news as much as possible other than energy as that’s pertinent to my industry. The news is biased and is garbage on both sides
I have no idea why the fuck people think it’s ok to loot and riot. I’m not sure why they have any support at all. But I would definitely say that that shit is less bad than people being killed. The dude who shot the trump supporter in Portland is bad as well. The overarching point is, at the point where, whether through mob violence (BLM) or intimidation with militias (the opposing side), democracy can’t exist. We have to be able to accept people with whom we disagree being in power. This country switches parties every 8 years, and honestly, is it even clear that the overall trajectory changes when one side loses or gains the White House?
We’re in a strange time. 20 years ago, I don’t think anyone in America would defend the tactics of BLM or the actions of Kyle Rittenhouse, but now partisanship has been elevated to almost a religion
