            Participation in a discussion requires your due diligence to at least familiarize yourself with the topic.

                It’s not about republicans, it’s about mental health.

                No, it’s about repoublicans. Trump specifically.

                Also when mental health problems’ reception in the society marginalizes you, you tend to seek for cults\sects and other such kinds of feeling of belonging to something without it being personal (because personal contacts are where your trauma is).

                Wild guess with no backing in the article at all

                I didn’t read the article, but suspect he also lived with his father at that age.

                Cool guess, but you could also have read the article.

                Just shooting wild guesses and opinions under a very problematic topic helps noone and is lazy at best.

                  Do you remember when those couple people tortured a developmentally disabled guy on camera because he liked Trump? Probably not.

                  I don’t like Trump but there are definitely crazies everywhere. I think dehumanizing people with different opinions about how to create a healthy society is the dangerous thing. Saying the other side are all monsters tends to turn people with mental illness into monster hunters.

                    well, the people you are trying to defend have absolutely no problem at all with dehumanizing you.
                    Tolerating intolerance leads to more intolerance.
                    There will always be bad things on both sides. But one of the current sides we are talking about is doing the most harm. Spoiler: its the trumpets.

        It’s not about republicans, it’s about mental health.

        Republicans are actively making it as hard as possible to receive help for or pro actively address mental health issues. They also actively shame people for such problems and want them to just shut up about it. So no, Republicans definitely bear quite a lot of guilt for such “tragedies”!

            What you say is orthogonal to that.

            How so? The primary audience for violent propaganda are republicans. The worst you can find on the democrat/left side are people saying you should beat up Nazis. And even that is hardly done by “official” news channels.

            So yeah, currently fanatic republicans are a lot more likely to commit murder than anyone on the other side. Their fetishisation of guns to “defend them self” against the government alone makes sure of that.
