Folks seem to think this stuff is new. IT started a long ass time ago, and it is high time, we put that **** in the closet, where it belongs..........

Extremes on both sides are ruining our country.
Does seem fighting for peace is getting to be a hobby for some. Protests about injustice that un-justly destroy public property. Demanding respect by not showing respect. So many examples of self filling prophecies.

And I agree it’s been around for a long time, but it now seems to have grown in popularity as social media provided the means for anyone to distort the facts, and alledge grounds to justify unfounded or unjustified over reactions.
Funny one: The protestors at the Abortion vs Right to life protest that attempted to stop and surround a pickup truck that was barely rolling along. The step in front of and pushed on the grill trying to stop a 450 Hp Raptor Pickup, and when that didn’t work, a chick on the @ side of the truck took a flop so the narrative to the video could be “ Truck runs over protestor”. The true title would have been “ Protestors attacking a citizen in a truck bounce off with no effect”.
