“…Defiant in the face of Wickedness…” and “…not allowing Evil to win…” are the same sort of rhetoric as comparing Trump to Hitler, which some of the right-leaning posters here claim is the reason for the assassination attempt.

The same kind of language is used here every day.

I’d like to see both sides tone down the rhetoric and employ a bit more civility.
