When I read this article today it made me think about our postings. It's not that I think it's just a mostly left thing, but a younger left thing. It's not your old school liberals. https://thehill.com/national-security/5504569-americans-political-violence-poll/ You might be onto something there. The youngsters- the ones that have grown up in an all-digital age, with a world of knowledge at their fingertips, their eyes glued to screens 10+ hours daily- are probably more likely to have been radicalized in some way. We're also at the point where DJT has basically been the news cycle for a decade, and everything that goes along with that. There's never been a more reviled, polarizing president. Some of it may be the trickle down of anti-Trump sentiments. Which is both unfortunate (condoning political violence- NEVER OK) and reassuring (they are paying at least some attention and realize that the guy is not a "business as usual" POTUS) at the same time. That the increasing % of Americans as a whole believing political violence is justifiable is alarming as hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meanwhile Kirk's wife, the wife of the guy who was shot in the neck by some coward weirdo... says she forgives him. You dont have to look that hard to see the differences in the way each side operates. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
