That's where you're wrong, we've been existing for more than 200 years and wiping a side on how people think is no better than a totalitarian state seizing power through force---that goes for both sides. You're proving the cycle of hatred. Why would I hate this country? I'm a patriot and I'm aware when it is dealing with hardship and want a good outcome. You may differ with what I say about myself but I'm the only one who truly knows me, not you nor your beliefs.
If we wanted to come together and find common ground, resentment towards one another must die, not each other (I do deeply appreciate you believe in Voltaire's definition of free speech, that's a really good quality of being American, props to you).
We went to war with each other because states threatened to secede from the US so they could continue practicing slavery. You're basically saying you wish to cleanse an entire political ideology people have because it doesn't align with yours and we can't do anything civil about it. What is violence going to do that can restore a country that ran on a two party system? We can't come together because we are afraid, and the two halves of the country have polarized themselves because we are so entrenched in animosity that will never get anything done or prevent another tragedy from happening
It is true, however, that we are losing every inch of hope due to the animosity we inflict upon ourselves. You want to continue battling to defeat a godless ideology of crime and murder celebrators, yet when have I said that Kirk's death was justified? When have I praised his murder? When have I wished that the shooter had targeted the people in the crowd? I never did because I see the tragedy as it should be seen. Those who have said that are the ones affected by what he said the most, yet many who lean left condemn this tragedy and what people say as much I do.
I don't hate the people in your party, but people driven by hatred despise me because of what some others did in my party. I don't call your party violent despite the few people who are neo-Nazis/white supremacists. I don't see you nor the majority of as that, I see you all as Americans concerned for where the country is headed, but here we are disagreeing whether we should get our points across through more violence or a movement that aims to stop the hate-mongering.
