Great point. The former Secret Service agent made a very similar point:

“He cited what he termed the “Mangione effect,” in which individuals latch onto a grievance, find validation online, and come to see violent action as justified.”

Individuals don’t “latch onto a grievance” by themselves, somebody, something encourage them to do that. And they don’t need to find “validation online”, they find validation everywhere, from the local and national news to their teachers to their preferred leftist politicians to the late night comedy shows.

The diversion and euphemisms used to avoid talking about the real instigators (Democrats and their lapdog the media, learning institutions, the assassination culture of the left...) is disgusting.

The problem is, Mark, uh, only Republicans are targeted. Trump, Kirk -- it is obvious that the marxists have engaged what Scientologists embrace as "fair play".

Change. My. Mind.

Tis true, I do at times find validation online - for political POV, not murders.

I also find some conservative POV I do not agree with. To include right here on Free Republic.

I have no credentials of any sort but am of the opinion the liberal hate chatter online attracts a lot of people, younger people in particular. Slogans, signs, memes, hate speech they can be a ‘me too’ part of ‘cause “my friends and classmates are doing it.” The sort that believe everything they read.
