Media outlets unironically focusing on the public reaction to the assassination of Brian Thompson instead of the context and cause of the murder really just diminishes their own credibility. They’re saying this is a sign post of our national demoralization or uncivilization. They said the same hogwash about the submarine full of liquified billionaires. For them, it isn’t the school shootings or the neo-Nazis marching with tiki torches that indicates a crumbling of decorum and civility. It’s the end of a demon who worked to eliminate culpability and enforced a policy of practicing medicine without a license.
