Opinion | Matt Laslo: 'Once a Republican president was forced to ingloriously leave the Oval Office under a cloud of reporter-induced shame, that party slowly started to view the press corps as the enemy.' - nbcnewsthink
Alex Wong / Getty Images fileViolence has now been normalized on the streets of many American cities, in our places of worship where armed security is now seen as essential as an opening prayer and even in our schools, where children are trained on how to supposedly survive mass shootings before they can even write their own names.
That culture of violence — to which many of us have become immune — is trickling into American politics in a new and disturbing way, as many people have seen afterthat a violent parody video of the president shooting up the news media, along with a slew of his political rivals, was played for the his supporters at a retreat held at Trump's Doral Miami resort.
But when the normalization of the president's truculence becomes coupled with content celebrating violence — even if cloaked as cartoonish memes — it becomes terrifying and dangerous. That, however, is where we are as a nation right now, because the president has embraced the nation’s love for outlandish drama and, through his general indifference to or outright celebration of their purveyors, has made memes of violence against the media seen routine to many on the right. While right-wing hated of the media isn’t new, the memeing of it surely is novel.
