Justification does not equal celebration I am not dismissing anything. I can only tell you what I’ve seen and if I am in a right wing echo chamber it is odd that what I’ve seen are good people ashamed of how this country has ended up. Not them celebrating death or accusing people without cause.

What you see isn’t the entire truth, you keep defaulting onto this idea that your personal experience is enough to justify your position. That’s not how reality works. You logically have to acknowledge things happen outside of the context of your own eyes

Your point is based on your personal experience along with your bias against them. If people en masse agreed I would’ve seen that. What I saw was people saying this was an avoidable tragedy. I wouldn’t say that the right has a problem with vitriol and hate but chronically online people across the board do. There were people open about the fact they were glad Kirk’s children were partially orphaned. I do acknowledge I can’t see everything and I hope you acknowledge that as well.

It’s not, it’s based on the general totality of opinion from the MAGA base. Your argument is flawed. I can easily say the opposite. If people on the right were against what happened I would’ve seen it. Therefore it’s not true because I haven’t seen it.

How do you know it’s the general totality of opinion? At least you know I’m against it even if you’d believe I’m an abnormality. Hate is too undefined as a term. Are conservatives attacking people in the streets? And I’m not saying there aren’t hateful people but please acknowledge that they exist everywhere. Even in high school I had people I never talked to try to sabotage my prom date by telling my date lies about what I believe because I was slightly more conservative than them.

Explain. How are you getting your data and doing your calculations? Is it more than you perusing Fox News. Are you personally talking to republicans and conservatives I remember the riots in 2020 when attacking in the streets was happening. Could you provide a few examples of who is being attacked and when? It’s not irrelevant it’s a real life example of hateful behavior coming from people because of liberal ideas. This is a personal conversation between two people not a presidential debate.

I’m monitoring approval ratings in relation to specific issues and applying different criteria of approval for each comment made by big right wing figures. Sure! Most domestic terrorism has been done by people holding right wing ideologies, recently there was a conservative man who ran over protestors, right wing platforms are causing radicalism

If I’m saying that a group en masse has this opinion, that definitionally means a minority will not. You asking that question doesn’t actually address the conclusion of the study. Address the actual substance of what that study is.

Unless that majority is 51% it would be almost impossible for a person of the broader group to never interact with that opinion on a larger stage. I was going to interact with the substance but background knowledge is important when discussing the validity of a study and using it form opinions.

Common sense Well if it’s your personal study it would imply heavy bias. And I wanted to know if it was made for a high school class. Which considering its data is sourced from 2015-2019 would imply that. This isn’t a good study.

Okay You’re making a claim on present day using really outdated information. Information that is sourced from basically one source that is considered biased by many. There’s 3 citations. One is from a book about a definition that idk I’d agree with. Another is statistics from the GVA which okay fine the other is from the ADL which is often considered to have a left bias.

It’s not enough sources to make the claim you’re making and even if it was it’s from 2019. Which ignores everything monumental that happened in the years since. Like the riots of 2020 or Kirk’s death.

You not agreeing with the definition doesn’t make the definition invalid. You accept the GVA citation so that’s fine. Prove that the ADL had bias in this instance. Dismissing an entire source because you don’t like their general stances isn’t logical. If someone died and FOXnews reported it, I wouldn’t dismiss it because the claim is accurate.

I don’t actually know anything about that author or that book. I’m disagreeing with it cause it’s not how I would define extremism but I’m whatever towards it because you might define it that way, which is fine. That doesn’t mean I’m dismissing it. If I was, I would say that definition is incorrect because I don’t like it and you shouldn’t use it. There was only one source that made a claim. Which was outdated.
