Biden says peaceful protests are welcome, but violence is not

It's not just far-left Xitter (pronounced with "sh" instead of the "X" sound) that has lost its mind. Until recently I was on BlueSky, an app trying to replace it, and oh boy...those people are insane. There are literally people saying that we should all be willing to do what Aaron Bushnell did.

Can confirm. I have one of my coworkers on Blue Sky, and he's pretty intelligent and uncombative in real life, but man, he's a straight-up leftist radical on there, and has actually gathered a pretty substantial group of followers, at least by Blue Sky standards.

The media always present Biden as some out of touch doddering old fool only for the polls to come out and show that he is actually expressing the majority view in almost every issue.
No wonder the New York Times, Politico, NBC, etc., hate him so much.

Back in October-Januaryish, I was hearing a lot about Israel-Gaza in day-to-day conversation, but since the college camp outs started, I've only heard them mentioned once IRL, and it was by someone who lives near GWU asking why they're protesting there and not at the White House. My mom also asked me if I was watching the news coverage on TV, but she's very plugged-into this discussion in a way that is not typical of most people. I think all these protests are just much less a part of the zeitgeist than people think, even if the broader conflict is still very relevant.
