  1. People are only really receptive to being radicalized by such things when social/economic conditions are bad, the government isn't responsive, and credible news sources are hard to come by. Unfortunately, that's exactly the situation we have. It's not really the fault of free speech that causes the problem though, as you see similar upticks in even non-political mass shootings under those conditions. To pull an extreme example, Hitler would have gone entirely unnoticed by history if it wasn't for the condition the German people were living in that made them receptive to such extremism. This is part of why FDR argued that economic security was vital to a democratic country. On the flip side, letting the government legislate what counts as truth is a rather dangerous prescient to set and can snowball into totalitarianism rather easily.
