I view the current political situation as a historical rhyme of the bloody wars of religion in Europe that saw Catholics and Protestants murdering each by the millions. As with the C v P wars (or Sunni vs Shia in Islam, or Hindu vs Muslim in India), taking a side is the wrong ethical stance; the right stance is to view it clearly as a brutal tribal struggle, and take steps towards a just and honest peace.

None. And that metaphor does not really apply here as neither of these groups are actively advocating for the annihilation of the other, especially in the context of the US. They may have in the past, but we're talking about the present.

Not yet. Just advocating taking sovereign nations by force. Abducting without due process. Raw political retribution against enemies. So yeah let’s just sit back and chill and see what happens next maybe we’ll get lucky.
