Stochastic terrorism is another way to look at it, where a conservative with a platform can say something inflammatory to the public. They didnt tell one particular person to hurt someone, but if they do it enough, many/most of them are saying this inflammatory thing, then eventually it affects people in the population to act on that.

Being conscientious of how we contribute to society, what are those effects, being responsible with platforms and media that reaches large numbers of people.

The perfect example is the Daily Wire promoting wildly inflammatory and bigoted rhetoric about LGBTQ people, and even promoting misinformation about hospitals to the point where Daily Wire viewers were sending in bomb and death threats to those hospitals - because of a "gotcha" call with a receptionist where after being pushed and pushed and frequently telling the troll they really need to speak to a physician directly.
