[View this email in your browser]( Is the Left to Blame for Political Violence? Good morning, dear readers, globalist cucks, and concerned citizens of right and left alike! It has been a head-spinning few days within the bustling Hive newsroom. We’ll dispense with the traditional foreplay wherein we shamelessly plug the latest examples of our dutiful reportage—we won’t recall, for instance, Emily Jane Fox’s [latest report]( on Prince Jared’s West Wing antics; Abigail Tracy’s [investigation]( into the G.O.P.’s redline on Trump; Nick Bilton’s [cogent analysis]( of Travis Kalanick’s deepening nightmare; or Henry Porter’s [latest dispatch from London]( on Britain’s year from hell. And we will certainly refrain from mentioning the Hive’s coverage of the Middle East’s [impending geopolitical crisis]( Wall Street’s [Venezuelan dilemma]( and the temple-scratching [Trumpification]( of one Jill Stein. Who wants to talk about yesterday’s news, anyway? Today, we lead with T.A. Frank’s shrewd assessment of America’s culture of political violence, our myopic reliance on tribal loyalty, and the lies we all tell ourselves about the sickness that has infected our national psyche. We hope you are enjoying what you are reading (and watching). Have a great day! [political violence] Is the Left Also to Blame for Political Violence?
