You say "It's sort of irrelevant if they're official" then you say "it's time to stop pretending that the attacks aren't official", which kind of comes of as you're saying: they are official, so it's not that they are irrelevant, it's just that you're not buying it. Or maybe you're just not explaining yourself clearly: Which is it? Is it relevant or is it not? If your first statement is what you meant (It's sort of irrelevant if they're official), what's your evidence? What/where are the pitchforks? Do you think people who are advocating one side or the other are not convinced with what they're advocating? If it's your second statement (it's time to stop pretending that the attacks aren't official), I ask again, what's your evidence? What is it about "this point" in America's politics that makes it clear as you're saying that attacks are always official?
