True, but both sides are equally guilty of that. Lots of sign holding and chanting going on during the trucker rally, anti-mask protests, anti-vax, abortion protesters (on both sides), etc. Let's not limit that behavior to the lefties.

The real solution, almost always, lies somewhere in the middle. Unfortunately we swing from one extreme to the other as the political winds take us so we never get to a homeostasis where both sides agree to disagree while still enjoying getting a portion of what they wanted/believe in. People are greedy, what can you say, it's base human nature/instinct.

Being aware of "no man is an island" as true, I would still love a piece of land 20-50 miles outside of town so as to not have to bow to city authorities or deal with the mouth-breathers (again, on both sides) so often. But, with land prices being what they are, and still needing a school system for the kids, we are here in town for the foreseeable future. Homeschooling was doable with one kid, but not with both of them now.
