Put down your weapons, indeed. It is disingenuous, however, to blame overzealous finger pointers on the left while ignoring the egregious, hateful behavior of Republicans, getting steadily worse ever since Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, Roger Ailes, and Rupert Murdoch decided that Democrats were no longer "the loyal opposition" to be debated with, campaigned against, and bargained with in policy debates--but rather, "the enemy" to be insulted, humiliated, regarded as traitors, demonized, and (most recently) deprived of power by overt voter suppression and widely propagated blatant lies about "voter fraud." Look in the mirror before you cast any more blame on the (often excessive) shaming behavior of people on the left!
