It makes a difference.
It may not excuse making a threat, but it might add clarity.
Referring to the root of the disagreement as something “political” could be unintentionally misleading. Keeping in mind the title of this thread, I wondered if the real topic of the disagreement was racism and not politics. I was seeking clarity from @GetCollege19
If the topic had absolutely nothing to do with racism, I’m out of here and will happily leave y’all to your airing of grievances.
