I’ve noticed that half the media freakout is mid-level political commentators coming to terms with the idea that they can also be victims.
The fact that a lot of left commentators are realizing this along with the rightoids is a little disturbing because where have they been in the last several decades of escalating right-wing violence?
I think that there is a lot of fuck around and find out going on now.
Over the past several decades people have been increasingly willing to speak their mind In public forums. I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing except the people who are speaking the loudest are the ones who are the craziest, racist etc. I think by allowing these people to exist we are normalizing them. And by doing so they start to think that their opinions are OK, and that they won’t get in trouble for sharing them.
Hopefully, if we must have guns in the hands of every American, these right wing nuts continue to get what’s coming to them.
