With great power (should) come great responsibility. Bullying is too aggressive for a democracy... its a perfect tactic for repressive communism. Who really honestly WANTS repressive communism? So get out of the uncivilized mindset. We all know that bullying will invariably lead somewhere that none of us (if we would take a moment to be introspectively honest) actually want to go.

I believe we should start standing up for victims of bullying (like AOC or Greene) regardless of their party affiliation. The real enemy to freedom is not BLM or white supremacy its people who engage in bullying. (Pre-emptive, uncivilized aggression.) Bullying, banishments, extrajudicial social lynchings, censorship, hypocrisy, lack of ability to wield power in a positive way, lack of understanding, lack of honesty... are these are becoming more common rather than less common?

With their great power, I was hoping Democrats (and their supporters) would show great responsibility, but instead they seem to want even more power. They seem to still be unhappy they seem to want a total and completely secure grip on power they seem to think they should continue to use bullying tactics rather than to wisely use the power they have already attained?

At some point conservatives are going to just have to say, "We are the victims of bullying. We dont like it. We want it to end."

We are going to have to get serious about defending ourselves from any & all bullying now that we are no longer in power. We should remain the party that is capable of standing up to bullies and we should be the party that can call bullying (even of our foes) what it is: wrong.

This guy is left leaning and he mentions a website that has extreme left wing politics, however its worth a view if 1) you feel like other people are behaving badly, or 2) if you care about improving your own political behavior, or 3) so you don't forget that there actually is (or there used to be) a sane alternative to agitated polarization.

Anyhow, suppose America has two legs and a snake has bitten both legs... regardless of which leg is bitten worse we won't be standing much longer. I think this is the antidote to the poison in either wound.

I have hatred for no one Pumpkinbrat
Hatred is a right wing thing:
Hatred towards immigrants, hatred toward liberals, hatred towards minorities. And as we could see from the mob, even hatred toward their own and their country, hatred to those who refuse to jump on the bandwagon of lies and fantasies.
Until people like you wake up and smell the coffee, the Trumps, the Marjorie Taylor Greens, the Mat Gaetz's of this world are going to keep lying to and exploiting the American people.

If anything I feel for you.

I suggest watching the video before posting. There is a big difference between the proper use of politics and the pitfall... expressing legitimate concerns and bullying.

We should ask ourselves, "Does this group or person have legitimate concerns and/or are they bullying?"

And in judging one's self: "Am I understanding someone else's legitimate concerns and/or am I being a bully?"

I think that's the framework that is needed to understand things correctly.

Also, if the leftists control the media, congress, the military, then we do need to see ourselves as potential victims of bullying. This includes their misuse of labels (calling someone a terrorist vs a freedom fighter) & all unjustified hatreds.

Unjustified contempt or hatred...
might be due to our political or religious beliefs, supposed lack of intelligence, or supposed economic status, etc. There are a lot of reasons why the left might have ongoing contempt and lack of respect. Contempt, and lack of respect, and and the power to hurt others, and to not allow them to engage in the expression of legitimate concerns, and denial of redress for grievances, are a key groundwork for bullying and bad governance.
