I think it’s meant to be an internal debate about the left’s tactics. It’s not meant to ignore or minimize very real right-wing violence.

This is just not in any way accurate. Free speech means the government cannot penalize anyone for speech with specific narrow exceptions. Deporting them for such speech is obviously penalizing them. Laws or no, this is unconstitutional.

I don’t think it will be enough but I’ll be happy to be proven wrong.

Honestly while Rubio sucks and it’s not really his place to say this, it’s hard to imagine any peace deal that doesn’t have involve territorial concessions. It’s up to Ukrainians to decide whether that or continuing the war is worse but I just don’t see any other options. Ultimately, Russia has to agree to end the war somehow.
