Normally I embrace my own verbosity with no concern for the toll it takes on the reader, but it's late, and I'm tired, so I'll match your effort at brevity.
Darryl Cooper ended his series on Palestine/Israel with the seemingly implausible premise that someone, from some side might just need to start with an apology. In the case of the rhetoric coming from your politicians somebody, from some "side" might need to just start being the adult and indeed lower the temperature in the room. It is simply an arms race of belligerent rhetoric, and it is incomprehensible that they don't see that.
As you very correctly stated, no extremist political ideology has a monopoly on violence, so there are plenty of zealots at each end just waiting for the whistle.
Jesus Christ.....I honestly wanted to write one sentence.
I get why they aren’t and it’s because they only see Trump in their future as an opponent, who would never let the temperature be lowered. He’s like a social justice activist where simple victory is never enough. The thing is, Biden is operating like an almost 80 year old man, who will only ever HAVE to deal with someone like Trump, who is also pushing 80. These people have no sight for the future. I have less faith in Gavin Newsom or Ron DeSantis to do this, but if we could get the Boomer albatross from around our necks it might well be a good first step (i.e. push those two Xers as candidates and leave these geriatrics behind to rot where they belong).
Ha! Yeah it was a bit of a swing and a miss. Maybe there's something else good brewing in Wuhan/Fauci's evil-old-man lair. I'm assuming he has a lair, but it's probably disguised as a kick-ass basement/man cave with pinball machines and grandkids and shit.

Yeah, nothing like two people in a fight who each have nothing to lose. And seemingly no regard for future collateral damage.
This is why I find the continued dominance of boomers to be so morally repulsive. COVID was supposed to take care of this damn it…. 😆
