Melissa Hortman, John Hoffman, Charlie Kirk, all politicians or public figures, of both sides, who got murdered or injured. And none of them should have been attacked, let alone murdered. And the vast majority agrees with that.
It's only a small minority on the extreme of either spectrum which advocates for violence. But these extremist minorities get a disproportionate amount of attention in the media (all media, both left and right). Look at some of the demonstrations in the past few years. There are more photographers than activists, and why are demonstrations with barely a few dozen people reported on in nationwide, and sometimes even international, media? How does that help the country? How does that help to fight polarisation?

>>>Honestly I don't think republicans have been as collectively jazzed about anything as they are that Charlie Kirk got smoked and they get to play martyr. This whole performance over the last couple weeks has been the fakest, most performative, bullshit maga has engaged in, which is quite the accomplishment.

But no one is surprised. Of course these assholes would only see this as an opportunity to attack others.<<<<<
