Thank you, my friend LTC (Join to see) for making us aware that Tucker Carlson pointed out one fact about mass shootings that infuriated the Democrat Party.
I certainly concur with Tucker Carlson's bottom line:
"America is supposed to be a free country, but millions of young people look around and feel like they’re trapped in a stagnant dystopia. In such an environment, a few people will lash out in violence. Millions of others will simply fade away, from suicide or overdose or diabetes. This is the real crisis, the one that produced those horrifying scenes on TV over the weekend."

"During his vacation, he posted a surprise article on The Daily Caller, which he founded, where he explained the core reason behind mass shootings.
The most important fact that gets left out by the mainstream media and their Democrat pals is that suicide rates for young Americans are higher than they have ever been, along with drug-related deaths.
This increase is fueled by Left-wing policies that hurt economic opportunity and are destroying the family and religious institutions, therefore leaving many young Americans with the notion they have nowhere to go but self-harm.
And while those millions of cases of young people destroying themselves this way are ignored, the media instead fixates on the very small amount that cause mass shootings.
"During his vacation, he posted a surprise article on The Daily Caller, which he founded, where he explained the core reason behind mass shootings.
"Suicide rates for young Americans are the highest ever measured. So are drug-related deaths. Fifteen percent of millennials still live with their parents. Fifty years ago, more than 80% of American adults ages 25 to 34 were already married and living with a spouse. Today, less than half of adults in that age range are married. A huge portion of American young people aren’t in any kind of relationship at all. It’s no wonder millions of young people feel helpless, miserable and alone. They lack friends or parents or religious organizations to give their lives purpose and moral coherence. They live in a suffocating culture they feel no control over: Local identity and local institutions are the weakest they’ve ever been in this country.
Most people think our democracy is fake. The policies they live under, the jobs they hold and even their personal opinions are controlled by tech monopolists, media scolds and Washington bureaucrats. America is supposed to be a free country, but millions of young people look around and feel like they’re trapped in a stagnant dystopia. In such an environment, a few people will lash out in violence. Millions of others will simply fade away, from suicide or overdose or diabetes. This is the real crisis, the one that produced those horrifying scenes on TV over the weekend. Washington is happy to pretend it isn’t happening. But it is. You can’t ignore it forever.
Thank you, my friend SP5 Mark Kuzinski for mentioning me.

I believe I smell flesh burning within this thread. Apparently, the Never-Trumpers are chipping away at this article.

Every generation bad-mouths the generations behind them. This perspective is nothing new. The Greatest Generation said it about the Baby Boomers. The Baby Boomers turned around and said it about the Gen Xers. Now the focus is on Millennials. Soon, it will be Gen Z. Every older generation wants to blame those kids behind them, rather than taking ownership for the fact that "they did build that". Kids aren't raised in isolation. They are raised in an environment created by their parents and those other adults who came before them.

Tucker Carlson is no savant, and he's no expert on anything that I can tell. He's simply someone who worked for a short time as a journalist before becoming a political entertainer. Since then, he simply tells people what they want to hear, and he banks a bunch of dough doing it.

Isn't a savant someone who's autistic but can have a special skill like playing music? LOL thanks for your opinion. I never thought about it his way. His version of Sociology I wanted to pose it among those here and you probably have more expertise than many so I thank you for your opinion!

The leftist media still has a sore Papa over President Trump to this day. Yes, he does make considerable mistakes and says the wrong thing but I still think he is doing the right thing as far as the southern border wall is concerned. I am concerned seeing Democrats in violation of the Logan act going to Guatemala, Honduras and Iran to interfere with foreign policy. Nancy Pelosi going to Guatemala and speaking to lawmakers and former secretary and Vietnam traitor John Kerry going to the Iranians. Nobody said anything about that.
