There’s no getting around it. Politics is a fight. It has to be a fight because people with different perspectives cannot see each other’s point of view. This is so important to understand. We can imagine another person’s point of view, and we really should try to as often as possible. But we can never really see their point of view because we have no access to it. We cannot get into someone else’s head.
That’s why limited government and the protection of our right to freedom of speech are so important. Without those things, there is nothing to stop one group of people who don’t understand their political opponents from running roughshod over those opponents.
Jordan Peterson does a good job explaining that political parties are like the left and right sides of the brain. He says they think differently, and they are mostly disconnected from each other. Part of learning to be a better person is learning to integrate left and right brain functions.
However, because politics is by default a fight people sometimes go too far. They forget their place and they engage in violent rhetoric or actual violence. Going after the children of a political opponent is a prime example of going too far, and that’s exactly what the left has done.
Of course, it’s not the first time they did it. Remember when Peter Fonda tweeted that Trump’s youngest son should be put in a cage with pedophiles? Yeah, well, now they’re going after Kavanaugh’s 10 year old daughter.
