Martin, with utmost respect, I disagree when you say, "I disagree with everyone who’s reached out to me to complain about this craziness being the sole provenance of one side or the other. That just isn’t so." The left has promoted what happened today to a degree unprecedented in our lifetimes. If supposedly respectable people repeated call Trump a Nazi, a threat to "Our Democracy," and the Constitution, then they create the environment that makes this not just possible, but likely.
Sure, both sides have some extremists, but the extremists have become mainstream in the Democrat party. Remember Chuck Schumer's rhetoric threating the Supreme Court? And James Carville, as another commenter pointed out. And Joe Biden himself? The mainstream Dems have created the environment that we now live in, with predictable results. The GOP is not even close.
I hate to disagree with you, but please consider this.
You're not wrong. Especially in recent times. TDS is real. But so was birthirism, and people showing up at pizza parlors looking for pedophiles. The cycles just get worse. Now the right is behind the 8 ball, but it goes back and forth.

Well I think decent citizens should shun all those babbling talking heads, like James Carville, who openly called for his assassination.
