A fair point. As I touched on in the post on the discussion of the horse shoe theory, the left can be just as dangerous as the right when girded by obsession. To be honest, I am more bothered that we haven't progressed past this point.

I completely put the blame at the feet of the rational among us for buying into the divide and conquer mentally and virtue signaling.
I'm not buying into divide and conquer. I don't understand why someone would become a bigot though. Simple logic can disprove it. Let's say someone says "All Muslims are terrorists." Okay, so that includes Cassius Clay, also known as Muhammad Ali. He wasn't a terrorist, therefore, your statement is incorrect. Statistically speaking, White supremacist groups are a larger threat to our domestic safety than any other group on the planet. Entitlement can be toxic. They, and the "violent" portion of the left have decided to perpetuate the separation, despite the fact that they really are not that different. As far as virtue signaling goes, or having conversations about right and wrong, those things need to happen. If not, people will just continue to fight and bleed. So you either have the divide and conquer violence, or the conversations about virtue.
People don't form opinions on logic alone. Nor should they, but not understanding the emotional component, and how to work with it is huge hindrance in humanity getting past all this.
Fully agreed. Few things stir a stronger anger reaction than supremacist speech and action.
