Here is an excellent interview of a long term Democratic Party Member, who becomes fed-up with the Identity Politics, Hyperbolic Reactions,
He wrote a book on "Democrat to Deplorable", or his personal journey, and his analysis of the massive American Cultural Shift from the Progressive Agenda, to a much more JFK-era Democratic "Classic Liberalism" oriented outlook and agenda.

What started with the election of President Trump, is much, much bigger than the Individual of Donald Trump. It will not end with the end of the Trump Presidency no matter how it ends.
The interviewer is professional, civil, polite, objective, open minded, and tolerant. The person being interviewed is also professional and civil.
At time mark 13:04, and for the next several minutes, they go into a discussion of antifa and Bernie supporters using open, blatant, Assault, Arson, Vandalism, and threats of murdering family members, as a form of political extortion to appear to support leftist causes, or be destroyed for failing to join into the supposedly Grass-Roots, massively common-American supported radical leftist agenda.
It is both a thought provoking discussion, but also a discussion of the warning sign to the deliberate efforts by the Far-Left to create an environment of fear, intimidation, and extreme political EXTORTION.
I have seen the same thing happening, or at least attempted on many online political forums as well, including this one! Not so much recently, particularly after the thread made by
Red Akston:

"A request to return to civility and decency"
Which is certainly, to me, encouraging and much appreciated.
But, we've also seen a dramatic increase in Left-Oriented politicians demanding that anyone who DARES to disagree with their agenda, be PUNISHED and Legally Destroyed, if not outright Executed for expressing a believe outside of their opinions and ideals:

It becomes very clear that Americans, with their national founding in rebellion against English Tyranny, and War-of-Independence, are from a culture which will only put up with these kinds of dogmatic, political extortionist, intolerant and vindictive behaviors so far, and then they will respond in ways that will sever any relationship with the Abusers-of-Liberty.
The Antifa type of violence, vandalism and intolerant exclusion is most clearly NOT working for the Far-Left. It is turning a majority of Americans completely against them!
Yet they continue to escalate the behavior!
So, the question for the thread's debate:
Why?
If the Antifa, BLM, LaRaza, Radical Feminist, violence, intolerance and vandalism is only causing the Left to lose more and more support, WHY are they continuing to pursue it?
What do they hope to gain?
Is the Far-Left Attempting to start a Civil-War in America?
