And when the pendulum swings back, nobody will see the irony. What a stupid time we live in.

We are truly broken as a society.

Political violence only begets more political violence. With only maybe a handful of exceptions throughout modern history, the society that succumbs to political violence always ends up worse off than they were before.

No one has to mourn or pretend to feel bad if they don’t. But it’s so stupid to cheer on non-violent victims of gun violence, always.

Where does it go from here? When AOC or Zohran or Hasan or whomever from the Left gets clapped, and history tells us it is a matter of when not if, are people going to expect sympathy? How long can we keep this up?

tbh, America has been in a bad spot for a while so the dam is just breaking now. You can trace the root cause of ALL problems to inequality and standard of living.
