ORIGINAL: WinsomeDefiance If both parties are wrong, then the only "victim" is our potential for having our Constitutional Rights stripped away by the abuse of extremists behavior. I can say ANTIFA was wrong, when they went from being protestors to rioting, because they WERE WRONG. The same goes for Neo-Nazis. I have never once supported Trump for President, neither did I vote for him. I avoid denigrating President Trump, simply out of a personal sense of distaste of badmouthing our President. I do not share his beliefs, condone the behavior of the man and I won't be sorry to see him out of Office. However, it my belief that The President, has very little actual power so I'm now focused on the levels of government in place to prevent our President from wreaking too much harm. Yes, the ugly, the deplorable and the extreme are emboldened. That only means a voice of reason and respect for humanity needs to hold itself to a higher standard and those who abuse their rights need to be held accountable. No matter who they are or what they stand for. It doesn't mean they don't have a basic right, in America, under the parameters set forth by our Constitution, to be assholes with a shitty point of view. It's a pity you have to defend yourself simply because you assign blame for the violence in VA on both sides. I look at it as clarifying my POV. When I get to a point where a conversation/debate places me in a defensive posture, I try to accept that I need to abtain from trying to proselytize my POV and respect that the other party has a right to their own beliefs. Or, I say Kiss my Ass, or Yes Dear. Potato/ Potahhtoe
