It feels like with the Trump assassinator also leaning right that there’s some kind of growing movement that wants to take some kind of responsibility or accountability for removing the MAGA element or something. It’s like I was saying before how the Never Trumpers (conservatives against MAGA) are also very largely responsible for language that they’re using that are inciting these acts of violence recently. And I understand why you’d push back on the more extreme elements from within to show that we don’t support it but man there has gotta be a better way.
it’s not even that complicated. Conservative media plays to and preys upon a ven diagram of dangerous elements. Gun nuts, the untreated mentally unstable, people whose ideology is simply hating people who aren’t like them in some way, the stupid…the kinds of people who will shoot first because asking questions isn’t a part of their deal. The most dangerous person to a conservative media member or politician is, and always will be, another conservative who thinks you’ve stepped out of line in some way.
Kirk broke with the line on the Epstein files? Ok. Good luck. He’s been anti-trans, women, minorities and spreading dangerous false rhetoric around everything from covid to elections for years and no one took a shot. Meanwhile…took what…days?
