Unfortunately, it’s the world we live in now.
I am so very sorry for your loss, I could not even imagine the pain of this.

Guess you have yet to come across the QAnon or anti vax or anti mask nonsense posted to social media.

People can and do post anything to social media and people believe anything when it seems to validate their perceptions.

No telling how much is intentional trolling.

Only thing any of us control is our own reaction.

Perpetual outrage is a national sport.

They do a great job.
Do you consider Don Lemon and Maddow to be entertainers? If you consider Carlson and Ingraham to be entertainers then certainly Lemon and Maddow are too, no? If so, what does this say about our “news” channels?

Sounds like you need smarter and more reasonable Facebook "friends".

Tucker Carlson (and Laura Ingraham as well) have disgusting methods of delivery. I agree a lot of what they say, it's just how they say it. Apparently a lot of people like it however.

Is he a 'white supremacist'? Probably, but most Caucasians are as well even though they won't admit it.

Lemon and Maddow are more racist than Carlos and Ingraham. There's no debate. They're also disgusting.

If only what? Tucker would be fine. Now your homies Maddow, Stelter, Lemon, Cuomo, and Reid are a different story.

Those type people are absolutely disgusting. I tend to be conservative, but believe in masks and the vaccines. Regardless - having differing opinions shouldn't result in death wishes.
