Video Game Violence Once United Political Parties. Why Is It A Partisan Issue Now?

In the aftermath of mass shootings, debate over why these massacres
keep happening — and how to fix them — bubbles up again. And, after
the shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, President Donald
Trump again pointed to mental illness and violent video games.
Politicians singling out video games for inspiring violence isn't
new. (Nor is the research debunking this connection .) In the past,
however, moral outrage and blame came from both sides of the
political aisle. Now, a recent article in The Atlantic argues that
the topic has become an increasingly partisan issue.
