Comment: Try again. Both sides, right and left, are refusing to listen to understand, listening only to respond, and insisting the other is evil. Both sides are a bunch of snowflakes seeking safe spaces. Today its the GOP pols who are making excuses and not listening to the voters in their districts. A few years ago it was the democrats and eventually it will be them again. Its the GOP who now controls both chambers and are acting like spoiled children caught with their hands in the cookie jar. When the pols listen to their constituents and act on what they hear rather than on what Mitch McConnall (or that equally awful Nancy Pelosi)  tells them to do they'll find the tone will return to a civil level. Meanwhile, keep making excuses and lying and that townhall tone will continue to be justifiably angry. Violence is only acceptable as a last resort to immediately save your life or the life of someone else. Our politics should not be pretending thats the case today.
