For reasons I don’t understand, anger on the left more frightening to many people than anger on the right. It makes no sense since we’re not the ones carrying guns. But no matter what he does, those who resist him must practice more emotional discipline & adopt a more soulful way

Martin Luther King Jr.: “Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.”❤️

People are afraid of the right because they have guns and *might* act violently. People are afraid of the left because they *actually* act violently. "Anti"-Fa. "Bring some muscle". "we’re not the ones carrying guns" Tell it to Steve Scalise.

Also: "we’re not the ones carrying guns." You are considerably safer - even as a vocal gun control proponent - among a crowd of armed, law-abiding gun owners than you are pretty much anywhere else in society.

Those on the right do not carry guns because they’re angry but to protect themselves and their families from those who are. It is the smart thing to do.

Nope. We are angry. And sometimes leaders need to show that they understand that and can represent it. Ripping up papers hardly seems the equivalent of giving Limbaugh the Presid Medal of Freedom. Another gross dog whistle. We are angry! Pelosi, for 15 seconds, was all of us.

They have a more conducive messaging machine. The Republicans have always chosen lock step. Where the Democrats biggest problem is that we are all unique rainbows and we pass the talking stick around giving everyone a chance to say feelings.
