Charlie is right.
The level of hate that progressive communists have for patriotic United States citizens has been elevated by academia to the point that they believe patriotism should be punished.
Talking about disputes that erupted into physical altercations on the floor of government meeetings is not the same as the pure hatred that progresssives are willing to spew out at the drop of a hat towards what was acceptable to both sides just a few decades ago.
If you cannot sense the current of hatred flowing below the surface of public discussion concerning politics I envy your naivety.
Uh no, historically Charlie is wrong. That little dispute that resulted in an “altercation” i.e. murder in Congress, was the bloodiest war in American history, brother killing brother on a mass scale. And the Democrats were even worse because it was during a civil war. However, we get the point.
