>Generally, democrats operate on the idea that the “end justifies the means” while republicans follow the idea that the “means are more important than the results”. In a fight like we are currently engaged in, democrats have a distinct advantage. Fortunately, President Trump has exhibited a willingness to fight in a manor other republican haven’t.
I’ve always preferred that the ends are the only thing that matter and the means used to achieve them should sink to the level of your foe but not further.
I certainly can't disagree with your view. I would only add that we have to accept that we are in a long war and our opponents are not going to voluntarily stop fighting.
