When communication and cooperation break down, it's understandable that people would feel the need to defend those who are being attacked. People forget that political violence through policy has real consequences.
It's not great, but I think it's understandable. I think it's also super interesting how patient everyone has been and still is. I think it says a lot about Americans and humans in general. I would like to think it shows that most people want peace and cooperation and view violence as a last resort
