Notice how I'm specifically talking about news headlines, Facebook boomers, and 4chan. All digital spaces. I never said I didn't call this shit out IRL.
These people got attention on social media first, and then decided to move it offline. There are whole articles about how Steve Bannon used online spaces to radicalize people because doing it irl was too tough before and during the first Trump presidency. Then newsmedia and every social platform found outrage generated clicks which generated ad revenue during the first Trump presidency, and we have now been living in this racist, fascist hellscape for a decade.
