Ok. I'll bite. Just this part though.
Trump was not the one that normalized extremism. If you are looking for the gateway to extremism, then blame the media. For 8 years, they have called Trump a fascist, likened him to Hitler himself, while constantly saying that he is "an existential threat to democracy™". Him calling someone funny names is not even comparable to constantly marking someone as an actual existential threat to all people's lives. The media was setting this up for someone who thinks they have a righteous indignation to take matters with their own hands and become the "hero" that democracy™ needs. If you need another example of media being instigators, look up Nick Sandmann incident.
Right now, people shouldn't rest easy. In an earthquake, there are aftershocks. I'm expecting the worse to come because the media, and society at hand, had years to cultivate such extremist mindset. I really wish this country the very best but I've long detached myself from things that are out of my control. If this country fully embraces the fringe left's divisive ideology, then so be it. It's shameful that I took an oath for American citizenship, but I've been so heavily disillusioned and just don't want to deal with its politics. I'mma just save up money till I have enough to live in my third world shithole. It might be a shithole, but at least it's a shithole where I have no expectations.
