Ladies and Gentlemen, we gottem

The past? Not recognizing that just because (maybe!) we got over the peak it doesn't mean everything is in reverse now and pretending the tables have completely turned are pretty obvious signs that many of us are still more or less in the middle of it.

In all honestly I had trouble understanding your comment. Not trying to insult by saying that, I just actually want to understand what point you’re trying to make. Could you rephrase?

Conservatives attacking liberals is not a thing of the past, the acting POTUS is even publicly encouraging his followers to beat up protesters at his rallies or even the free press. White people have not stopped being racist to non-whites, men have not stopped treating women as second class, republicans have not stopped gerrymandering districts to systematically exclude democrat supporters from voting so this both sides comment just doesn't make sense as well.

Okay I understand what you mean. But there is always going to be corruption on either side of the aisle. You can’t just say conservatives do this and that because odds are it’s been done by liberals as well. We are all at guilt and the only way to get better as a nation is to not point fingers at who is the worse person and just do our best to be the best version of ourself we can be.

But what if there's one side who's never ever confessing to their own guilt, while the other is constantly criticizing their own people? We're all at guilt, I'll give you that, but probably to a way different extent.

I’d disagree. We’re actually quite similar. You just need to be able to take the high road and do the morally correct thing when others fling crap around. Otherwise there will always be this “eye for an eye” mentality and the divisiveness that has almost always plagued our country will continue. And again I’m not really trying to point fingers because this is a problem for everybody, not just one particular side. You can argue that one side may be worse than the other but at the end of the day both parties have shady ethics and it’s very rare to see a moral politician for either party.

A discussion is hard to entertain somehow when one side is in a constant state of oblivion and denial. It's not at all about an eye for an eye. Better is better than worse, and worse is worse than better, no ifs and buts whatsoever.

The point is that there are many people on both sides who will always be in a state of “oblivion and denial.” We’ve all got to learn to be better than that.
