Believe me. I know that it is only the left who is going against our Constitution. The big C and the Declaration ARE OUR COUNTRY, combined with all the people who believe in them.
But I do not like extremism where the “opponent” is seen as less than human, and that goes for leftists. We must strive here to remember our relationship with the world (and Gd if you are religious) starts with Belief, in something greater than our individual desires, like our founding documents. They must bring us together.
Right now in 2018, the political group who gets it is the right. The left is mostly controlled by those who wish our founding docs didn’t exist. But while we need to fight them in the public square on ideology, we need to remain nonviolent. My relatives were murdered last century because those in power saw my ancestors as less than human. They were, literally and formally, in writing, EXTERMINATED. We must not think of political enemies as cockroaches.
Yes, we don't want to become Africa, a collection of savage tribes fighting each other.
In the Rwandan war, the Hutu called the Tutsis “cockroaches”. It's easier to practice genocide against “cockroaches”.
I hope we don't want to sink to dehumanizing all enemies.
