Yes, with groups like Antifa, BAMN (By Any Means Necessary), and BLM, we see the violence the left is bringing about. With police shootings, rioting, and dragging of Trump voters out of their cars to beat them. (All the violence...they claimed would come from defeated Trump voters came from defeated Clinton voters)
One only needs look at a protest site after a left wing group is done...and compare it to a TEA party protest site. One is disgusting with trash and litter everywhere and the other is left clean as if the protest was never there.
Back in my day, God, I sound so old, being a Liberal meant something different. I meant being for peace and love and acceptance for all. That all changed about 9 years ago. Now, being a Liberal means death to the right, death to all who disagree with them. Acting like raving lunatics will not make your point, it just makes you look like raving lunatics. I do understand that not all Liberals act that way, but there are some who take things past the point of sanity. The media feeds into this and encourages it by the way they cover a story, or, should I say, distort a story. Most media outlets have become very one sided in their reporting, and should be held accountable for the mess they have created, as should the last administration in the White House.
I can only speak for myself and those I am close to. Being a liberal has not changed at all for me. I am a very peaceful soul that don't wish harm on others, even if I cannot stand them. I can be outspoken at times about issues close to my heart, but I don't make assumptions about people that have a different political philosophy. I do believe in caring for others that cannot do it for themselves. I care about my environment and the lives of animals. I make no apology for it.
I would like to also add, that I have seen some hateful liberals which I never used to see before. I feel very uncomfortable with that. I like people that take the high road and stay away from those that can't or won't.
I think people in general have become much more aggressive on both sides.
