Seems like we agree on the "equivalency" of riots at federal buildings and storming the capitol. Both are wrong.
The "equivalency" of court packing/filibuster is not to rioters but it is towards Trumps statement on suspending the constitution. It is all wrong. This country functions best when both sides are forced together. What we are seeing now is both sides using political maneuvering to get their way and silence the opposition. I think we are seeing this partly because the primary system favors polarizing political figures over moderate ones.
It has lead us to become more tribal and as such more hostile towards each other. "A house divided can not stand" and we are inching towards the precipice of learning that bloody lesson again.
The only way to reverse course, IMO, is to make an attempt to understand those that aren't like you as opposed to just simply dismissing or dehumanizing them.
