Dear @npr @cbs @ABC @NBCNews @CNN @MSNBC - Republicans WANT mass shootings, radical anti-gov militias, and murdered innocents. They have proven this over and over and over. It is inescapable. This is not a constitutional policy debate. They want blood and death and mayhem.

Take a deep breath. Calm your mind. THINK. Why do Rs want mass murders and mayhem? Why? The answer stares you in the face.

...

They WANT america to fail. They want our citizens to despair - to believe they are unsafe, to believe that their government cannot protect them, cannot protect their children. R leaders - just like these gun-toting criminals - want the government overthrown.

This is not a policy debate. Not a "both sides have a point". Not a close call. The people calling for more AR-15s on the streets WANT MORE MURDERS IN THE STREETS. (If you are shy, sure, stop here but stop covering this like its any different than nazi sympathizers in the 1940s)

In 2019, there were more mass casualty shootings than there were days in the year. This is not an accident. Rs think mass shootings help their election chances, because they believe fear motivates their voters. cbsnews.com/news/mass-shoo…

AND THEY'RE RIGHT. R voters #1 motivation is fear. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…

R voters are afraid, so they need guns, and more guns equals more murder so they need more guns, and they are more afraid that Big Government will take their guns, so they vote for Rs ... and we death spiral into mayhem.

AND YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE VOTERS AFRAID? PUT MURDERS IN THE NEWS. ON THE GODDAMN MASS MEDIA OUTLETS TAGGED IN THIS THREAD.

So. Dear Visual Media. You are being used as a tool to assault democracy. To spread fear and despair. So stop giving platform to the gun "debate". Stop showing murder in prime time. STOP FACILITATING OUR DESTRUCTION.

AND THE SAME GOES FOR EVERY CORPORATION SUPPORTING THESE REPUBLICAN ANARCHISTS IN CONGRESS. @JuddLegum
