My dad was recently telling me a story from back in the 90s when he worked in a rural Wisconsin town close to the Illinois border and his co-workers would “joke” about shooting at cars with Illinois license plates. It’s crazy to me just how long the right has had a culture of sharing fantasies about being violent towards the left. It’s no wonder that the vast majority of mass shooters turn out to be far right nut jobs, they’ve been raised in a culture that glorifies violence against people they disagree with.
