This post-Charlottesville tweetstorm is everything

The United States is under siege by a disgusting and increasingly violent form of tribal politics. The worst of it was witnessed in Charlottesville over the weekend, when violent white supremacists met violent Antifa leftists, and a person was killed.

So where does that leave the rest of us? In a tweetstorm, NRA News Radio Host Cam Edwards tries to answer that question. This is really worth the read:

Since we seem to be regressing to tribal politics, I've been thinking about what tribe I belong to. It sure ain't antifa or neo-nazis. /1

I can't stand either group, and frankly, they can't stand me. /2

Antifa hates me because I believe in individual freedom and liberty, equality for all, and think socialism is poison. /3

The neo-Nazi's hate me because I believe in individual freedom and liberty, equality for all, and think racial superiority is bullshit. /4

Also, I dared to marry a white woman with bi-racial kids. Even worse, I love them. They're my kids too. Call me "Dad" and everything. /5

See, my tribe believes that MLK's hope of one day judging by character not color is a guiding principle, not an error. /6

I cannot subscribe to an ideology that demands I rank my kids in some weird hierachy based on skin color, gender, or physical attributes. /7

My tribe doesn't burn crosses or American flags. Maybe a good cigar on the weekend. /8 pic.twitter.com/eg0RR6Zuvp

My tribe are the "live and let live" Americans who want to enjoy their own life w/o being forced to conform to someone else's ideology. /9

— Cam Edwards (@CamEdwards) August 14, 2017

My tribe believes that the US has never been perfect, but it has been and remains a powerful force for good. /10

— Cam Edwards (@CamEdwards) August 15, 2017

My tribe knows as long as Communism and Fascism has been around, there've been Americans trying to foist them on us. /11

— Cam Edwards (@CamEdwards) August 15, 2017

My tribe knows there's one big commonality to both poisonous ideologies: the death of individual liberty& freedom. They are un-American. /12

Here's what my tribe thinks of authoritarians and totalitarians. /13 pic.twitter.com/ehH5tY8gFz

My tribe does not belong to the Butthurt Brigade; those Americans who exist to be offended. /14

— Cam Edwards (@CamEdwards) August 15, 2017

My tribe tries to live without rancor, but admits it's a challenge these days. /15

— Cam Edwards (@CamEdwards) August 15, 2017

Most days, my tribe would rather read a book than scroll their Twitter feed. And we do. /16

— Cam Edwards (@CamEdwards) August 15, 2017

My tribe believes the freedom to learn, to read, and to listen is just as important as the freedom to speak, write, and opine. /17

— Cam Edwards (@CamEdwards) August 15, 2017

My tribe believes #SelfDefenseIsAHumanRight /18

— Cam Edwards (@CamEdwards) August 15, 2017

My tribe isn't interested in burning country and Constitution to the ground and hoping to rebuild utopia on the ashes. /19

— Cam Edwards (@CamEdwards) August 15, 2017

My tribe thinks it's futile to expect government to fix us. Politics is downstream from culture. /20

— Cam Edwards (@CamEdwards) August 15, 2017

My tribe doesn't pretend to have all the answers to all our problems. But we do have pretty good music. https://t.co/RnFDpYoFCI /21

My tribe has a big tent stocked with a bacon buffet, a gun range, and a library. Just leave your BS outside. 22/22

You had me at bacon.
