>>I pointed out numerous instances of real violence where real people have died in major cities in the US.
That's not a useful narrative, because you can't attack Trump with that. To attack Trump, you need examples of Trump supporters doing the attacking and they're refusing to cooperate. So when one pops up, they're all over it.
>>Manufactured issues might be fun, but now and then reality deserves a few minutes in the sunlight
If you don't accept my explanation, why do you think reality isn't getting attention? Why does the MSM and celebrities pile into Smollett specifically, or a schoolboy bullying a poor native American peacemaker?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
