You may not realize it, but you really hit a big difference between the "left" and the "right". In the liberal enclave of Seattle, there have been numerous reports of vehicles with Rebublican bumper stickers (or houses with yard signs ) being vandalized, etc., yet it is very seldom that a report is made to the opposite. For the self-described party of tolerance, they tend to be very intolerant. "Keying" lifted trucks, damaging Suburbans, etc. etc. Not to mention the far-left loonies torching "things" they don't like ( fur-farms, a new lodge in the wilderness, "gas-hogs" at new car dealers, etc. etc.
The left are the angry, loud, destructive folks, while, generally speaking, those on the right tend to be very much more responsible, and civil. Perhaps that is not a good thing....as things are turning out..
