I am deeply concerned that the White House is riling up their base by the name-calling and negative portrayal of those who have different political opinions. We have seen the violence from the left in our major cities and it could happen again if the White House doesn't stop. The vandals in Florida may just be the beginning.
In Texas Antifa was out in support of exposing young children to drag queens, if you haven't seen the photos to me it looks like they are prepared for violence:

I'm curious, you seem to be one-sided. Was it okay when it was the previous president and members of his staff or even current GOP representatives doing it?

Right of center open carry: just good Americans peacefully exercising their rights, what are you do worried about?

Left of center open carry: they’re ready for violence! Help!

I don't think they are comparable. Calling all Republicans fascists and shouting out that a Supreme Court justice will pay the price is a lot different than telling people to go over to the Capitol "peacefully and patriotically." But so much time has been spent on supposed conservative violence why object to an article detailing left wing violence?

This part of Antifa is perverted.

If urban is left, and rural is right, are the suburbs in between? The DC area suburbs voted Democrat much of the time. That area is one of the wealthiest in America. LA and San Francisco have some of the highest home prices in the nation. California is Democrat.

Work from home is changing where people live and work.

You are in some serious denial about what the previous administration had said, continues to say and what the current GOP representatives are saying.

But hey, if it helps you sleep at night keep on keeping on.

It seems more like:

Far right response to leftist self-defense: "They are ready for *my* violence. No fair."

I don't think spraying vulgar phrases on an unattended object counts as self defense.

That’s talking about the second outrage, leftists using their second amendment rights.

No, it isn't. The kids who attended the brunch did so accompanied by a parent or guardian and they had paid for tickets.

Suburbia seems to be split along gender lines, especially with Trump and after the recent overturning of Roe v Wade.

Work from home is changing where people live and work.
Yes, it allows people to live in more affordable locales, providing there is decent internet.

All vandalism is deplorable, but at least antifa er... the anarchists showed proper respect for the logo.

This is so funny, after enduring all these years of Trump name calling and negative portrayal of all is political and personal opponents.

Are you now of the opinion that carrying AR-15s around young children to intimidate (and possibly use deadly force against) anyone who might disagree with those exposing children to sexual perversion is ok?

The word in the OP is "guard" [the event].

But definitions of words are fluid. Many are outdated and could use revision due to the evolution of the political landscape.
