We have a gun violence problem. It is fueled by far right propaganda. Wealthy gun lobbyists and gun manufacturers, politicians, and anyone who profits from the gun industry will not offer reasonable solutions. Americans must listen to each other and talk together to describe the problem and create solutions.
During WWII, the British accepted their personal and national struggles to defeat German aggression and prevent German invasion of their islands. Their collective heroism was based on fear but quite rational. In contrast, German people's irrational and cultish beliefs in Hitler empowered his aggression and caused their unimaginable personal sacrifices. Disinformation is a powerful force.
