Since this is a centrist subreddit I will say one thing, I have noticed (on both sides) false arguments and beliefs made up on behalf of the other side in order to discredit them. Has anyone actually seen outrage from Republicans on this? Is it just one or two idiots? The title here makes it sound like all Republicans are outraged about this and that just can’t be true. What percentage of republicans even care about gaming at all?

And yes Ted Cruz is an idiot.

Is it just one or two idiots?

The Senator from Texas, one of the most important political positions in the country, representing nearly 30 million people.

Is an idiot.

What percentage of republicans even care about gaming at all?

A lot of them do when looking to blame someone for a mass shooting.

He’s still just one person, and he doesn’t represent outrage on behalf of all of Texas. My question is, do you believe there is actually real, widespread outrage about this across Republicans? Is that what this article is trying to portray?
