It's not right to be used against either side of political alignment, all it does is fan the flames of more division.Well nothing seems to have happened to the woman who held up a picture of Trump's severed head. Or a well thought of actor using the Academy Awards stage to say on live TV "Eff Trump".
So yeah it's all about the overall escalation that never has consequences. The "demeanor" that has been fostered has been fed by the very same people who found it acceptable until it impacts them.
Now suddenly they are calling for de-escalation. Because now they are the "innocent victims".
Trump did himself no favors by his own actions, even so, he still deserves the same safely levels as expected for a former sitting president...if someone broke in to do him harm, he should be offered the same empathy as any other person.
