(9,760 posts)but too many Dems also refuse to acknowledge that most issues are complicated. So often we see a lock of willingness to deeply analyze and evaluate issues. Here we see a blatant twisting of the points being made by the OP and others.

No one has said being bulled gives anyone the RIGHT to lash out violently. But we are foolish if we're surprised when they do.
Bullying is utterly reprehensible and has countless negative outcomes. Defending it as normal or cool or manly, or in any way good, is a mistake made by people of both parties, but which is especially common on the right.
We need to be better than that. Real, effective solutions do not come from refusing to go deep.
