I find it extremely disturbing that half the country are people who are very well educated, earning well above average from their white-collar careers, yet they still think political violence is acceptable or funny.
This country is doomed.
(quick edit) And anyone who doesn't believe me go to Bluesky right now and look.
I have seen right-wing commenters say that the left was saying this. When I asked for examples I got nothing. I got responses, but the left-of-center commenters they pointed to were in the two categories I describe above: those saying the event is terrible and those saying it's ironic.
Now, I'm sure you can find people saying political violence is okay. I'm just saying I haven't seen it at all and therefore it isn't the central tendency in my feed.
This is a chronic problem here in America - nobody knows when to stop anymore. It was plainly apparent January 6th when Ashli Babbitt died, pumping the brakes is hard when nobody listens to reason.
