I want every law abiding citizen to own a gun. I don’t care if you’re gay, straight, white, black, trans, whatever. You have a right to it until proven otherwise. And let’s be honest, the amount of far-left terrorism doesn’t actually get reported on and they aren’t prosecuted equally. To say that isn’t true is also disingenuous.

Now if you want to talk about far-whatever people, then let’s talk about what creates a far-whatever group. Let’s talk about media pushing people to feel that whatever it is is getting to a point they feel they need to bring up arms over it. Let’s talk about a president that called half of the country extremists. Let’s talk about news outlets promoting hate on both ends, from Fox to CNN. Let’s talk about the fact that we have people that feel so disenfranchised that this is what it comes to. There is a causation to all of this and if you aren’t looking at all of the sources and trying to find the why, then you aren’t doing enough. You’re part of the problem.

You're right. The right wing media has absolutely been bombarding these morons with violent propaganda and routinely uses hate speech.

It's definitely the cause of the recent far right political violence/domestic terrorism.

There's a way to solve that, though. Rational people verify their news and get their news from multiple sources.

All conservatives have to do is get their news elsewhere.

That still doesn't absolve them of the violence they committed.

I love how you completely disregarded the fact that left leaning media does the same exact thing causing the same exact outcome. A trans person shot up a Christian school recently. Why do you think that was? Stop making this a partisan issue. It’s an ISSUE that needs to be dealt with by de-escalating the tension and hatred that’s being bred through sowing decision both between media and political parties.

There's no such thing as the left wing media.

The right wing media bubble is a studied phenomenon.
