It should not matter. I have lived through thirteen administrations and this has always been my approach.
People, like me , who often have serious moral issues with policies, philosophies, and words of government, do not need to resort to cruel pranks, hurtful attacks, or suggestions of violence to dispute, resist, and bear witness.
The "other side," whatever it might be at any time or place in history, generally delivers enough primary-source material that can be openly and objectively disputed in the light of day without embellishment.
It always weakens our arguments to call people names or gloss over the details and subtleties of debatable topics. It always dilutes our arguments if we use our energy to assign motivation.
I do not wish to see good arguments weakened or important issues marginalized by questionable behavior by mean-spirited actions of our allies.
If I don't like the deeds done to my side, I can't accept them from my side.
We need to take the high ground.
