I doubt it helps you achieve your objective of conversation by generalizing extremist actions toward the republicans. Any more than suggesting antifa actions drive the democratic ideology.
I'd argue that (among other things) it's the echoing of this type of polarizing talk that creates the "sides" of the conversation.
- ipython 5y agoWas there something I said that was untrue? We have to have conversations but those conversations have to be grounded in a shared reality. I would be interested to hear about your views on antifa.
- psychlops 5y agoI'm not objecting to the veracity of what you wrote. I'm objecting to the immediate framework of political party in which the conversation started. Once the comment is placed into that box, the nature of the discussion changes. I would draw the discussion lines more around those in power versus the people and would further argue that this model is really the defining conversation of modern politics today.
