Have americans REALLY had enough to stay focused long enough to get REAL change?
I don't know yet.
But if a group of rubes can get so riled up over gay wedding cakes and men who wear dresses they will elect a "man" like Trump maybe our kids getting killed will rile up the rest of us to elect people who will work at actually protecting them.
The answer is no. And I say no because how much have you heard about these comprehensive reforms in the discussion? What politician is out there talking about how boosting school funding will help schools have the resources to focus more on students and prevent them from becoming a school shooter? How many politicians are out there talking about the strongest correlation to gun violence being poverty? I haven't heard any in the midst of all of this, and if there are any the media isn't giving them any attention.
This isn't the tipping point because the public is playing into this false dichotomy narrative that politicians have been setting up for years that just serves to keep us distracted from their shenanigans.
