Perhaps we can now drop the ‘both sides’ equivalence and admit why US cities boarded-up last week? Fears of looting and arson were only if Trump got re-elected. A self-questioning left would reflect here: Are you happy about having become the side of implicit, expected violence?

Have you written anything about this problem, Paul?

I partially agree. Some of this is simple herd mentality in densely populated areas and not character differences.

Really? What about these guys? They’re not on the left. The ones who tried to kidnap and murder the governor of Michigan weren’t on the left. The armed protestors at vote counting locations aren’t on the left.pic.twitter.com/aV7ZMUkWsI

The perpetrators of the kidnap attempt are facing trial. Many of the looters have got away with it. The armed protestors did so peacefully, unless you know of an incident I'm not aware of, despite being armed. They broke no laws.

I wonder how much of it is the rage against living in a system that disenfranchises people on the left. This was a popular vote blowout. D senators represent way more people. Not saying violence is a good answer (it's not)

“Fears of looting and arson were only if Trump got re-elected.” — where is the evidence for this?

The earlier protests/riots weren't inherently political or incited by political acts. Why should we have expected a violent reaction to a Trump win without any previous indications they would be a response to that outcome?
