Claim Text
In recent years, certain supporters of transgender rights have developed a public language of militancy and conflict, in which familiar habits of left-wing activism — attempts to shut down controversial speech, claims that contrary opinions are fascist or genocidal — are supplemented by an armed-and-dangerous iconography that’s usually associated with the American right.

Ross Douthat argues against attributing mass shootings to political rhetoric, suggesting that the motivations of perpetrators are complex and often unrelated to partisan ideology. He emphasizes the need for unity rather than assigning blame.
