This board is a small and intense microcosm. I'm talking about the country, from coast to coast. I think their anger and frustration over those things was GREATLY underestimated, and still is.It's not blame, but it's fair to examine what role the Left may have played in adding to their frustration and anger.As some point this stuff will end up back where it belongs, on the lunatic fringe.The mods must love the possibility of another potential shooter amongst us.I am weary to the point of gut-bathing violence of the fucking race card. I don't give a rat fuck about race and anyone who does needs to be executed.
But it's important to pay attention to that unhinged, paranoid rage: That's what got Trump elected in the first place. It's real, and to continue ignoring it would just make ultimately addressing it a longer process.
And honestly addressing it would require the Left to look in the mirror. That's not happening for the most part.
It's important to pay attention to but I don't see why blaming the left for the actions of the lunatic right is a thing.
I was saying long before Trump showed up that there would be pushback to PC and Identity Politics, and they've made it clear that those issues were a big part of it. What I didn't realize was HOW big they would be.
But what part did you play? I don't mean that to blame you but you've also set them off on this board. I don't see how anyone is supposed to change their own behavior so the fruitcakes behave.
I use the board as a single example.
As a liberal how am I supposed to appease these knuckledraggers when they think Bill Barr is a part of the 'deep state'? This has been building up for decades by politicians and pundits from the right, I'm not responsible for them.
Do some on the left go too far? Sure, is there a huge difference between how most on the left and right deal with each other? Absolutely. The left didn't invent an entire mythology, for the most part they are very much living in the real world.
