PP is thoroughly disowned by RNC. Medved and Ben Sasse were just talking about them and antifa as "reilly weird", highlighting to larger points which Sasse discusses in his book "Them: Why We Hate Each Other--and How to Heal", which discusses the polarization in age of social media, loneliness epidemic, propensity to take sides (D or R) to be on a team for this sense of community ("it doesn't work that way"), the 50% reduction of friends on average since 1990 amidst the general population, the trend toward robots as supposedly "viable" human replacements, etc.
"Win the battle, lose the war" seems the term of the day for both sides, to what end, what positive change do they seek, what can be accomplished by tit for tat assaults ?

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
