From the immediate aftermath to the exhausting back-and-forth that followed, Ritland breaks down how a subset of society has begun treating politics like warfare — dehumanizing one another and rewarding extremism. This isn’t about sides. It’s about what happens when disagreement turns into justification for violence.

• The emotional aftermath and public reaction

• Why society now rewards extremism

• Dehumanization and the normalization of violence

No fantasy timelines.

No sensational leaps.
