It is tough for the left to learn violence isn't the answer when their leaders are literally encouraging it.

Apparently an intel briefing for the senate foreign relations committee was cancelled yesterday, and the WH isn’t sharing any of the intel about Pompeo’s trip.

Who?It is tough for the left to learn violence isn't the answer when their leaders are literally encouraging it.
Because Maxine Watters didn't. She told people to do what people did the Ted Cruz.
That's not violent; it may be stupid, counterproductive, and have no place in civilized discourse but it's not violent. She came back the next day and emphasized that she was encouraging peaceful protest.
The "problem" is that the modern Democratic party has it's roots in protest. Anti-war protest and the Civil Rights Movement. In both of those groups you had peaceful dissidence and violent protest occurring at the same time. Those groups saw four of their leaders assassinated (not by the right, per se but the deaths were untimely regardless).“I believe in peaceful, very peaceful protest,” she said. “I have not called for the harm of anybody.
The closest the Republican party came to protest is was the Tea Party. Little white supremacist, hood wearing ceremonies don't register in comparison.
And I also think the protest nature stems from where you take the ideologies to their absolute extremes.
The left is a social party, we achieve more together, the state is us, you have a responsibility to your fellow citizen to provide a benefit to society.
The right is isolationist, I have my rights and what I chose to do is none of your business so stay outta my face.
Out of those two personalities, who's more likely to gather a group of friends to carry picket signs.

So very true.Dear God, Hillary Clinton. Please, Just Go.
No one benefits from her latest venture back onto the political scene.
We’re three weeks out from the 2018 midterm election, and Hillary Clinton is popping up again like a Halloween ghoul who keeps rising from the grave to terrorize the American public

I'm interested in reading this book, and I think your post would also show an interest in it as well.
I think the thesis is that the liberalism on the left (equal opportunity) vs liberalism on the right (individual freedom) are both destructive forces. And in that, the dynamic at play between the two ideologies create the eternal back and forth that we have.

“For all the prospective attendees to the Trump event. Come early. Also all you protesters, show up as well. This is a concealed and open carry state and we know how to use em,” Deschamps wrote earlier this week.

I think in the past we have had some overlap in assessing the social problems in modern society, and I don't think we're at polar opposites as to potential remedies. Does this book allude to any solutions?

If he's willing to be this overtly corrupt over something seemingly minimal, I think we can only imagine the sort corruption that they are making at least the effort to conceal.

Fresh Air was interviewing Susanne Craig and David Barstow, the investigative reporters that dug into Trump's financial, his monetary relationship with his father, and the tax loopholes (possible fraud) that the family used... and holy hell. If anyone believes that he's "self made", they need to take a look at what these guys uncovered. Of course, if you actually believe he's self made, then you'll think it's all just fake news anyways, so what's the point...
