Spewing of liberal rhetoric in places where it did not exist decades ago is at an all time high. I graduated High School in 1978. Back then instead of the modern day common practice of spreading liberal agenda in schools a teacher would not even tell you who they voted for, even if you asked. Even in High School government class the teacher would lay out both sides of an argument and it was up to the student to decide what side to choose, without any influence from the teacher.
Also at that time you could watch sports with out listening to a halftime gun control rant from Bob Costas or Phil Simms telling you he won't say Redskins.
They didn't make liberal leaning political speeches at Hollywood award ceremonies and Johnny Carson ripped on both Democrats and Republicans equally. Now all 3 late night talk shows lean extremely left. 40 years ago Saturday Night Live wasn't political, now it leans extreme left.
In the 30 years prior to when I graduated High School there were 2 mass shootings that killed 10 or more. There have been 14 of those in the last 10 years.
Guns are harder to get than they were 40 years ago, there used to be no waiting period on handguns or rifles.
Mass shootings are up, teen suicide is up, and the spreading of liberal rhetoric is up, could be a connection.
