GOP Sens. Ron Johnson, J.D. Vance, Tim Scott tried to blame Democrats and the media for rhetoric they claim without evidence led to the Trump shooting.
"The greatest threat to our nation right now is that we are horribly divided. Why are we so divided? ... I would argue that's what identity politics is about. That's what critical race theory is about"
Of course. What are the chances they'd blame corporate funding of politicians, billionaires, or the oil industry? Or any actual problems? Nope, just continuing business as usual, serving their best interests.
No no, they're going to all suddenly realize the error of their ways and thank the Democratic party for attempring to pass gun control legislation that would've raised the minimum age to purchase an assault rifle any second now I'm sure /s
Granted I don't know what the minimum age is, I assume it's 18, but I don't think raising the minimum age is going to help. Unless you're imagining raising it beyond AARP levels.
In your mind I want you to imagine the typical gun nut in America. Did you picture a white guy who's older, but not quite elderly? Someone in say his 50s?
Yeah. How high do you want to raise the age minimum and realistically expect the motion to pass?
Polarization of a limited media landscape causing violent rhetoric to become common in daily conversation is what caused it. A group of businesses would rather make money than create stability and prosperity for others. simple as.
Can someone just make a montage of Republican divisive and violent rhetoric going back to the 80s when Gingrich started screaming at an empty room about how Democrats are all corrupt and want to destroy the country? I know it’s a big ask to make a weeks-long video, but you could chop it up into 1000 parts or so.
