When Lucius Cornelius Sulla marched on Rome, he set a precedent but the seeds of his march were sown before his decision.  When thugs invaded out capitol building on January 6, 2021, it was unprecedented but the seeds were sown before Donald Trump's incitement.  

The seeds are recent adoptions by right wing elements of the Left's playbook: victim status, grievance and anger.  So do conservatives wish to adopt these divisive and toxic attributes or is there a better way?
