In the US, I couldn't imagine anybody but a political conservative making such a point.  Obviously, the communist viewpoint prevailing can skew what one would think of  what would be normal.

It's not only repubs against video games in america. That is a biased statement in bolded.


Politics is all about bias, get over it.  Secondly, that was a piss poor example that you just gave bc Feinstein is more conservative than most democrats.

Rockefeller is right in the middle however.

Then you've got the real kicker.... Both Republican and Democratic biased polling companies seem to put Democrats more against videogames.

That said, it's not like Republicans don't do it too... just to a lesser degree.  The new tax bill for example hurt videogame companies by cutting them out of a tax break for example.  Though said bill takes from both what republicans and democrats have proposed.

So that very well could be a democratic proposal.  (And considering republicans ideas on ending tax breaks.  That seems likely.)

 

Also, Republicans can also blame violent videogames and culture for violence.  Though they are less likely to call for bans/regualtion.
