""We have an anger-tainment industry coupled with social media algorithms that feed and feed and feed those with those proclivities already.""
""There's no question the right-wing media has been more provocative, certainly to Democrats over the years, but I don't know that somehow excuses violently intended people on either side of the aisle, and that includes""
""gap year""
Dean Phillips retired as a congressman and is taking a "gap year" in Southern California. He challenged President Joe Biden in the primary, believing a diminished Biden should not automatically be the Democratic presidential nominee. Phillips links recent political assassinations, including a Minnesota legislator and conservative activist Charlie Kirk, to rising extremism amplified by social media. He warns that an "anger-tainment industry" combined with algorithms magnifies violent proclivities. Phillips cites that right-wing actors account for 54% of politically motivated murders in the past five years versus 22% attributed to left-wing extremists. He asserts that violence from any side remains unacceptable.
