I think it is past the tipping point. Folks on the fringes of both sides have the loudest voices, and there is no room for compromise, and common decency seems to have exited stage left. Here is an excerpt from an article in the Minneapolis Star Tribune about the recent protests...
As the event ended, Trump supporters made their way through the phalanx of protesters in small groups.
“Nazi scum! Off our streets!” the protesters shouted.
A Hispanic couple wearing Trump gear, along with what appeared to be their teenage daughter, made their way down First Avenue while protesters yelled.
“He hates you,” the protester said to the family, referring to Trump. The woman retorted: “Mexicanos por Trump!”
My good friend is a straight-ticket, blue dog democrat. There are many issues we disagree on, some we agree on, but we are both 100% on the same page with our disdain for these antifa folks. Just as we are with the Proud Boys and other such groups. This is why I try not to lump all Democrats into the socialist/ antifa group, nor all Trump supporters as racist bigots.
Unfortunately, there are too many who have, for whatever reason, decided to boil it down to a for us / against us position with no middle ground. Just like the article I posted above. There could literally be any number of reasons why that Hispanic family supports PDJT. But that didnt matter to that antifa protestor. No attempt to find out why, no attempt to find common ground, just hate filled rhetoric.
