"Violence can never be the answer, but sometimes it does," Sachdev remarked, addressing the deep-seated animosities gripping American politics. The incident, where Trump narrowly escaped a fatal gunshot, has heightened concerns over the volatile climate in American political discourse.
"The divides in America right now have perhaps become so very deep that both sides are very angry at each other and both sides are very afraid of each other."So the Republican conservatives, they are very afraid of the Biden Democrats, and similarly, the Biden Democrats and the left is very afraid of Trump, that if he comes, what will he do to our country?" the foreign expert Sachdev, toldon Monday.
