    The difference between America and most nations across history is that we use persuasion instead of violence. When we stop trying to persuade each other, things can only go to a darker placehttps://twitter.com/BenSasse/status/1053407546457948160 …

    This is wrong. It should not happen — to Rs or Ds. And it would be useful if more journalists reported that some House and Senate Democrats have been repeatedly urging the public to do this to Republicans.

        No, Ben. Love ya, fellow Republican, but propaganda and locking up children by our president is violence, bro.

        I agree this is what we should strive for, but it is completely historically inaccurate. And I know you know that.

        The spirit of your comment here is admirable. It's just accuracy that's lacking.
