The turn that we are taking in country is truly appalling - our inability to listen, and talk rather than shout each other down just makes me sick.

Where is civil debate and discourse?

Not a Trump supporter at all, think he is truly the worst thing to happen to US politics.

Civil discourse is fine. Fox spews outright lies. Lies from the white house podium. Lies in congressional hearings. Compromise is a dirty word. If little kids get shot and boom cares then all these lifers can get shot and we won't care.

It's also not just speech. These people whip their moronic followers up into a frenzy to manufacture consent for all the evil this administration is doing. THEY are violent. People think just because they dont personally carry out the deed, they are blameless but they aren’t. The leaders on the right have wrought this violence on themselves. And I will not cry for a nazi.

Don’t forget about Minnesota. To be clear, all of this is wrong, but the rhetoric in America around politics has become too intense.

In this country, we don’t shoot people for saying things we don’t like.

Right! We shoot them at church or in their classroom like a real American.

Who is “we”?

AMERICANS! Are you not a citizen? I'll have my ICE bros stop by your work.

Why? Those 2A public figures think everyone should have the right to carry a gun.

Tell that to the NRA convention.

No, we don't need that. Just put some more good guys with guns.

The president has no empathy. It trickles down.

He mocked a reporter with a disability, never expressed sympathy for Covid victims, and threw paper towels at people who’d lost homes and were devastated. He complained about having to go to National Airport to meet with the victims’ families after an accident caused by the US.

You can’t say it doesn’t matter.

As a leftist, I feel terrible. I would not wish this on anyone.

But while I don't like that some leftists/liberals are cheering this on, just know that conservatives would not only cheer this on if the situation were reversed, but they wouldn't police and scold their group for having the wrong reaction either.

“Look what you made me do” is the excuse of an abusive partner.

There is also genuine divisiveness among leftists when conservatives are harmed. Like yes, you have people cheering it on, but you also have many people scolding others for behaving that way. That type of polarization doesn't happen in conservative groups. They're far more cold and unempathetic and reactionary.
