This issue is much more complicated than that, Mark. These are lost souls, lost by means of not understanding how to parse readily accessible information critically (parenting and education failure), being treated as second-class citizens for the last four years and being told they’re all racists and bigots for supporting Trump, having a pandemic mismanaged by nearly every politician at state and federal level that affected them greatly, having one side control nearly all of the media, etc.
Adults make choices, and these actions are decidedly horrific choices, but to look at this simplistically is to not learn from it.

Which side controls most of the media? I’m assuming you mean liberal, but I’m not sure how anyone can claim that with a straight face these days. Fox dominates the news shows, and now there is both Oan and Newsmax, because Fox has gotten too conservative. There’s also conservative Sinclair, which controls many of the local new stations. Not to mention radio airwaves, that are dominated by Rush Limbaugh and his ilk. Hard to make a case that liberals control the media IMO.
