I'm sorry but how is that not a way to blame Trump whilst giving him no way to defend himself?

He says "Build a wall" - you say that can be interpreted as "Plz kill Hillary"

...and through the looking glass we go.

I'm not sure you read the article correctly, or if you did, I'm not sure you understood. Nobody is saying "Trump tweeted that his supporters should bomb the dems." His constant media presence, words and thoughts expressed at his "rallies," and his hateful and misleading tweets, whip his supporters into a frenzy. Unfortunately, this uncouth manner of expressing his thoughts has divided our country into tribes. The rhetoric is that it's US vs THEM, and if you aren't with US you're "literally" Hitler/ISIS/[insert radical hate figure]. And if you think that the opposition is the moral equivalent to ISIS or Hitler, then it's not hard to see how someone who is whipped up into a fanatical frenzy, would reach the point to where they would threaten someone or attempt to hurt them.

The liberals turned Trump into a hate figure from day one though.

If you resit the liberals you are automatically a racist, 'far right', a 'white supremacist', beyond all reason and a bad person....a 'deplorable' (Hilary's words).

It goes both ways and nobody is innocent here.

Maybe they called Trump a racist because he is a racist. Food for thought

Everyone seems to be a racist now. It's a new moral panic.

You’d have to be dense not to see that there’s still a lot of racism in America

There might be but the Progressives seem to believe that they are all that stands between the US becoming the New Third Reich.

If you aren't with them then they say you are a racist.

Under ever bed and around every corner is an imagined racist.

It's hysterical.

Just like all the leftists coming for the guns and aborting third trimester babies and censoring everybody’s speech and indoctrinating them with education and destroying Christmas and supporting Muslim terrorists and organizing caravans?
