I agree with all of that except fighting them. They are weak in mind and spirited and one should avoid attacking the weak. If they throw the first punch, defend oneself by means but they unlikely to actually do anything.

Despite their head cannon being the left always looks to the government to solve problem. At the heart of it all, the right are the ones desperately looking for the government to save them from their failed lives. Most of them are not interested, willing or able to fight for what they want. It’s why they choose strongman personality cults.
