Let people speak, modern society will correct it. Using elections. Not bullets.

Under normal circumstances I'd probably agree. It's just gone past the point where "modern society will correct it", it seems to me... if it was the cult of Rand Paul, you could probably have a debate with them about their principles or whatever. Not so with the cult of MAGA.
So no, unfortunately, I don't think we CAN get away from the political violence. Like I say, I'm surprised it hasn't ramped up more quickly.
