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

You’re white, you don’t get it, POC are threatened everyday by the racism and ignorance coming out of the WH. The right are the perpetrators, wake up!

I think the anger comes from the Left's inability to look at diseased thinking and behavior, refuse to react to provocation, and carry on its work with faith in the outcome. Anyone who has lived with an addict would understand my meaning. It's about learning detachment with love.
