Why Don't Liberals Ever Blame Video Games

Libs are so quick to blame guns and call for gun control.

<<“The murders in Texas and Ohio this weekend are symptoms of a culture of violence and anger that is gripping America. From entertainment and video games that consume the attention of our young people to murder in our cities, violence is pervasive in America and must be addressed. We cannot continue to turn a blind eye to the glorification of violence and murder in our society today, and our efforts to address mental health issues have just begun.>>

Video games are so deeply entrenched in the psyche of American Youth—and many adults as well—they simply cannot imagine facing life without them. Like Coca Cola or television, no one wants to blame the things which ease the pain and suffering that is often the reality of being alive. But video games go deeper into our heads even than being icons we worship as new deities. America, God I love Her, but we Americans have a tendency to "herd think" about certain pop culture foundations in such a way that defending them has become almost as reflexive as breathing. In America, if enough people believe something is true, then we'll go right up to the gates of hell defending whatever it is as always true and God help the owner of any dissenting opinion. Video games are just such a thing.
