Yes, we both know that both parties were aligned quite differently from their
modern counterparts.

And I'm right there with you when it comes to people taking advantage of
protests to commit property crimes. They should be, and are being, held
responsible.

I'm not ignoring it. I'm just saying that it's done far more by the right.
The left does not hoard weaponry and talk about overthrowing the
government by extralegal and/or violent means if they don't like the current
administration. With few exceptions, the left does not threaten, attack,
or assassinate political targets. And, as in the case of the donut shop
firebombing, I was never referring only to mass violence.
