Republican Convention's Unsettling Silence on Violence The recent Republican convention in Dallas was meant to be a moment of reflection and unity for the party, but it exposed a disturbing trend that threatens to undermine any semblance of decorum and civility in American politics.
Repeated outbursts from crowd members calling for sitting Senate candidates to be shot were met with an impassive response from Senator Ted Cruz, which only emboldened this kind of rhetoric.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage, but the real concern is not just about what was said at that particular convention – it's about the normalization of violence and intimidation in our politics.
