I think some of the questions posed in this thread are quite difficult and strike to the core of human psychology. This is a difficult moment for everybody. If we observe a somewhat tribal response, we should not be surprised.

Yet our government treats left-wing protests and right-wing protests quite differently.
> Between May 1 and November 28, 2020, authorities were more than twice as likely to attempt to break up and disperse a left-wing protest than a right-wing one. And in those situations when law enforcement chose to intervene, they were more likely to use force — 34 percent of the time with right-wing protests compared with 51 percent of the time for the left.
