I don’t think fist-fights would’ve replaced political debate. But the average Dim might’ve been encouraged to HAVE a debate if they realized people were only too ready to push back. We’ve let them push & push & push, while we kept conceding out of politeness. Now when we start to push back they respond with violence.
It’s probably going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
Fear you are correct in that statement.
