This is not socialism. Payouts to farmers who have nobody to buy their products because of self-induced tarrifs is socialism. Symbols of slavery and statues of confederate soldiers, who by the way lost, is a continuation of racism.
Citizens against one another is partisanship
Stoking hatred, fear and division from high office is what has lead to violence to and from law officers. Please check the actual news outlets (not opinion cable) and you will see that much of the destruction of churches and businesses was coordinated via FaceBook by white supremacists. Not wearing a mask is a partisan issue when we should be protecting one another. All of these things are not good and it is disheartening.
