Liberals and progressives love inciting violence. They divide people based on social, economic, racial, religious lines. It’s actually amazing to watch. Unfortunately, there are severe consequences to that as we can see.
Absolutely. They F-up everything they touch. Why do you think almost every unarmed black man who has been shot by thr police has been in a Democrat city? Why do you think Joe Biden carried the black vote, a know Segregationist who locked up 100s of thousands of young black people for minor drug crimes with his draconian crime bill. Because they are sick corrupt Liars
I think the media has a lot to do with it. Only some mass shootings are covered and scrutinized. When a white male is involved a in a mass spree type shootings, the media harps on it. On the flipside, there are mass shootings in a urban Democratic strongholds everyday all day and no one really bats an eye. Selective outrage if you ask me.
What do you think is the reason why these violent acts have skyrocketed in 2021 after Biden was sworn in and may set a new record in 2022 while Biden is still President.
Unnecessary 2 year COVID lockdowns that led to more isolation and higher unemployment.

That is true, national news doesn't pick up those stories, only local news.
In my opinion, the biggest win would be if he could enact stricter gun control laws. Congress doesn't agree.
Some of it is mental health for sure, and that is hard to make happen without spending huge amounts. Congress won't agree.
Some of it is better trained law enforcement and courts that work more efficiently. I'm hopeful on this one.
"In my opinion, the biggest win would be if he could enact stricter gun control laws."
Over 20,000 is NOT enough?
Which ones have worked to reduce the number of gun crimes?
Explain WHY the states with the STRICTEST gun laws are ALSO the ones with the MOST gun crimes.
"When you do the same thing over and over do NOT expect a different outcome".
We've raised a generation of people who don't respect life, who have been coddled and told they are constant victims, and who have been told that our country is evil and racist.
We've diminished the value of "family" and elevated the concept of selfishness.
We've diminished the idea of respect for our institutions and for things that are bigger than one's self.
People have grown up to become narcissists by constant social media. There is also a copycat element to it.
Those are the biggies.

2017 saw a peak of 177 fatal injuries from mass shootings under DJT. 51 have been killed this year under Biden. Why 2017? A big chunk (61) of that was the Las Vegas shooting. Even without that though, 2022 is looking to come in under 2017, statistically.
"2017 saw a peak of 177 fatal injuries from mass shootings"
Where did they occur?
Gun crimes are STATE ISSUES.
You must be dem controlled public school "educated"!
I think things would be a lot different now if AR-15 type rifles were never sold to the general public, but remained in the military. It's too late now since so many have been sold. Granted, maybe 1 in several thousand sold have been used in mass shootings, but it doesn't take many. A person can't use what they don't have. Given that it's too late to ban them, at least ban sales of high capacity magazines.
Keep in mind that I tend to be conservative, but this sort of thing has gotten out of hand.
"I think" Don't, you might hurt something!
"if AR-15 type rifles were never sold to the general public, but remained in the military."
You really do NOT know what you are talking about.
Our military does NOT USE AR-15s, NEVER HAVE!
Blunt installments, like baseball bats kill, MORE then ALL rifles combined.
Because the Republicans were running around like chickens with their heads cut off and the heads still kept yelling, "Voter fraud!" "The elections were fixed!" "Donald Trump is our REAL President!" and countless other like slogans that were also all false.
Conservatives wanted to hang on to every last firearm that they possibly could just in case Sean Hannity decided that we should have a Civil War which would boost his ratings numbers.
It didn't help that every 18 year-old male in the US was going through a severe identity crisis because self declared trans people were allowed to use any restroom they felt like and - worse yet - unisex restrooms were popping up all over the country. What was an 18 year-old to do to prove that he was a manly man?
Why go to a gun show and stock up on bullets and ammunition, of course. These troubled young men usually returned to the Grade School or Junior High where he had been subjected to relentless bullying. "I'm back!" these extremely unbalanced young men would yell to the Kindergarten class or possibly the First Grade if our crazed shooter was brave enough to face the big kids.
And the rest would have been history had these incidents not kept repeating themselves on a daily basis. Republicans must be so proud of themselves for "thinning the herd" just in case any of these little kids grew up to be Democrats.
A perfect reason why voters need to take a test and PASS, BEFORE being allowed to vote!
What do you think is the reason why these violent acts have skyrocketed in 2021 after Biden was sworn in and may set a new record in 2022 while Biden is still President.
Keep in mind there were many left wing violent attacks by BLM and Antifa in 2020 when Democrats were shutting things down everywhere for longer than just a short term flatten the curve reasons.
How would having less Dems in office mean less mass shootings?
Explain to me like I’m 5. Do Republicans have technology that predicts people’s actions before they do it?
"How would having less Dems in office mean less mass shootings?"
MORE people are killed by guns in DEM RUN areas.
Dem run cities are setting new records every week.
