Political violence feeds on our outrage. Break the cycle. We often treat political violence as if it appears out of nowhere. But it’s cultivated. In today’s attention economy, outrage is currency—addictive, profitable, and engineered. Every swipe and angry click feeds algorithms designed to provoke, not inform. Most Americans get their news from social media, so the flames spread fast. And as profgalloway notes, political violence isn’t just fueled by division—it’s protected by powerful interests. They hide behind complexity, insisting problems are unsolvable, when really they resist accountability. That’s why naming the problem matters. Solutions start with honesty about what fuels the rage and courage to reject the notion that violence is inevitable. Silence keeps the cycle alive. Speaking up shows the truth: political violence isn’t destiny—it’s a choice. And choices can change. #Politics #Republican #Democrat #Solutions #SocialMedia
