Related: About this forumAnalysis: Are young men's political attacks fueled more by beliefs or by personal struggles? - CNN
Jia Lynn Yang of The New York Times joins CNN's Michael Smerconish to discuss whether US political violence is driven less by ideology and more by despair among socially isolated young men. Recent attacks, from the Charlie Kirk assassination to the Butler attempt on President Trump, often involve individuals with little political engagement, making prevention difficult. Experts stress focusing on mental health and isolation rather than partisan labels.
