This discussion is going nowhere. I said it. You said it. No need to reiterate any points you’re trying to make. Violence on both sides IS unacceptable. YES there are hypocrites on both sides. Equal rights ARE necessary. I don’t know why you need to repeat what we’ve already agreed on.

I’m happy to have a conversation with you and that’s why I originally challenged your post, but I also JUST offered you a peace offering. In that offering I NEVER asked you to denounce or silence any of your views. I never asked you to “worship Joe Biden” either. Frankly I think it’s extremely insulting for you to not accept it.

This discussion has become a matter of pride. Humility has no place in it.

As Saint Augustine says it, “it was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels”. So I think by this principle we should stay away from pride, and therefore this discussion.
