    IMO part of it is the people who would speak out about this are cowed into silence due to how hard right-wingers (both parties) go after people who disagree with them. There’s so many people who will try to have you fired or worse for sharing a lukewarm take on Charlie Kirk (rest in piss), they send death threats in the 100s to even the most long-shot Democrats in rural districts, etc. Stochastic terrorism is real and the right uses it every day. More people need to speak up about this because it must be overcome to gain any ground in burgerland.
