There is no such thing as coexistence in a scenario where people want to murder you. The side that is the least tolerant of the other, wins. Every time. Intolerance is the mindset of the victor. Therefore the leftist ideologue will win in this scenario, barring some renewed resolve. You see the signs every day. >Their “politicians” dog whistle for murder and jail >Their “media” dog whistles for murder and jail >Their “protestors” will scream DEATH TO TYRANTS at you while you’re fleeing an active assassination attempt against you You forget, we all seem to forget, that THIS ideology during the Spanish Civil War in 1936, caused people to dig up the bodies of dead nuns for very public desecration. You can’t comprehend the level of hate that it takes to do something like that. None of us can. But they can. So they will win, because we tolerate it. And tolerance is a poisonous virtue when intolerance is pointing a gun at your head. Tolerance is a noble thing among the civilized. Against the butcher, it is only a prettier name for death. When violence enters the room, tolerance becomes surrender. We get what we tolerate. And we tolerate everything.

Counterpoint: Here’s Trump threatening violence, calling for his political enemies’ executions, celebrating the deaths of people he didn’t like, and otherwise casually promoting political violence. Also there was the small matter of Jan 6 and subsequent pardons for violent felons
