As a former Leftie I have said this to conservatives time and again. This isn’t about academic debate anymore, there are no Marquis of Queensbury rules here. These aren’t your daddy’s liberals. These are hard core Marxist/socialists who are provocative, intolerant of any other view point, they’re aggressive, unreasoning and not above resorting to violence. You might be able to have an exchange of points with a few but the times they are a changing. Most of them just need a busted jaw. It’s the only language they understand.
And they are resorting to violence regularly these days. AND calling for exactly what I am. On us.
