    There are plenty of conservatives who do not make bomb threats and find this kind of radicalism abhorrent.

    They should speak up in contexts other than this, then.

      How often do you listen to conservative voices beyond those that are outrageous? Because the ones that make headlines which filter into our bubbles are outliers.

      Gotta remember everyone is in a bubble. My sister, for example, is sometimes shocked that my views are more rational and reasoned than her conservative bubble’s view of left-leaning people, which is mostly based on shock headlines.

      If your entire understanding of people different from you comes from headlines then you don’t have a good picture of who those people are. This applies to all groups of “people different from you.”

        Then they should speak up when it matters instead of whining that no one heard them not speaking up.
