What I perceive is going on is that Antifa types have been spending a LOT of time and energy as Agent Provocateurs on conservative sites, posting comments that are over the line, and baiting others to join them, exactly as they did at the Capitol protest. We have to take some deep breaths here, look around ourselves carefully, and figure out how we show these people up for who and what they are. Remember, what we are seeing right now is the culmination of GENERATIONS OF PLANNING, since the 1930’s and ‘40’s. A great deal of thought has gone into how we are going to react, and how to use our reactions to destroy us. We need to be smart, not just passionate. And the first observation I’ll make is that we need to think about how to use the energy of the swinging pendulum to help us, not destroy us.

I have not followed comments on the AT site, but I think you are likely very perceptive in what has happened. I will say that I have enjoyed many of Ms. Widburg’s columns.
