    “This country is in a big divide right now,” Mr. Jedlinsky lamented. “It’s, ‘You’re either with us or against us.’ You’ve got a pick a side and hate the other side.”

    When one side’s baseline of reality is founded on it being acceptable to illegally overthrow foreign governments, lie about immigrants as an excuse to deport them, rewrite history through a Christian nationalist lens, take away life-preserving health care from the poor, destroy the planet through climate change, and lower taxes on billionaires, there is no room to compromise.

    Trumper got a gun out first.

    Other guy got a gun.

    Trumper shot him once and jammed, other guy didn’t jam.

    And according to the survivor, the 80 year old trumper started the violence with a headbut.

    Mr. Mathews had a .45-caliber handgun in his car. He fired first; when he pulled the trigger a second time, no bullet came out. Mr. Mattai had a 9-millimeter pistol in his car. He fired back at least four rounds. The bullets sprayed across Mr. Mathews’s car and into his open window as Mr. Mathews drove away. They pierced his door frame and the driver’s seat, missing him by inches.

    This must be that armed, polite society that supposedly is created by widespread gun ownership.

    I hope they were very polite as they exchanged .45 inch and 9 mm arguments.

    Typical MAGA scum - they hate free speech and want to murder their neighbors while disguising themselves with the ceremonial trappings of philosophies which espouse the opposite.

    I wonder how this could happen then I remember dogs will “hump” for dominace. People will read way too much into a Black Lab humping a German Shepard.
