    They’ve really normalized this shit to the point they don’t understand why it’s wrong…

    It’s just like 1/6, there’s a few that are serious and dangerous, and they’re hiding among a large group of fucking idiots and using them as human shields.

    Normalizing violence is something fascists always do before the actual violence, they’re getting people desensitized to the idea of it.

      they’ve never understood it to BE wrong, much less why. all they know is the fear mongering rhetoric of “they’re coming to take your guns, turn your kids gay, and forcibly terminate your pregnancies” along with the whole “you’re not a real man if you’re not violent” ideal, since the GOP stance can’t win on policy
