Again, it's the left wing and the Democrat party that seeks to keep minorities on the plantation, not the right.  If your foundation is baseless, then the rest is just blather.

This is the second time you've mentioned the "plantation".  I already asked you to help me understand what you mean by this.  Could you go back and answer the questions I had there? Because I don't want to assume.

No, the topic was political violence in Trump era. Somehow we are grasping at every historical period up to this point for reference in an attempt to be more ‘right’. The one up game can be played all the way back to a parties beginning. This topic is now stuck in some twisted mountain pass in China!

That's my point!
Thank you!
The person who tried to blame all political violence on "the left" was wrong.
There is always another incident to look at.  
Blaming everything on "one side" is a fool's errand and can't solve the issue of how to help people come together in the future.
