Saying this too shall pass is some privileged bullshit.

Or maybe people trying to give each other comfort and hope.

You're still responsible for taking whatever measures you feel necessary but lets not attack people trying to help.

You're not entitled to harm people on your side, we've done that for the last decade and all it's gotten us is a fractured ideology with a hundred different camps of people bitching about minor differences in what progressive things are good or not, and allowed a monster to get elected because nobody cares about trying to make leftists happy anymore. Lash out at someone else who actually deserves it.

Fucking hell, this is why we'll never have nice things. Our side is just as emotional but not quite dumb enough to unify and focus on one target.
