I don’t believe “the left” is responsible for this, just like I don’t believe “the right” was responsible for the shooting of the Minnesota politicians. Sorry, if you pick Trump as your leader, you’ve forever lost the moral high ground on the “we should be more civil” take.

It's ABSOLUTE MAYHEM in Chicago today. The streets are filled, just filled with people running, surely from #ICE. There are piles of plastic cups EVERYWHERE? What was in them. Better call out the Guard, Donald J. Trump, to restore order. chicagomarathon
