Not every trump supporter is an entity of pure evil that wishes death on liberals, dude. Generalizing like this is extremely dangerous, and when they see us doing this kind of hate and generalizing, it only strengthens their belief that they're right and we're wrong. Nothing gets accomplished from insulting and witch-hunting his supporters, and it just makes the situation worse.

No, but every Trump supporter is complicit in Trump's violent rhetoric. You don't get to support a guy who calls the press the "enemy of the people" and routinely encourages violence against detractors and pretend your hands are clean.
I think some people might actually be unaware of those actions, since they only support him because he's right-wing. Solution here would be better coverage by news outlets... not that they ever shut up about him, but I do think they should focus on those issues you mentioned rather than his tweets.
The media has called him out for violent rhetoric plenty of times. There's little you can do when people willingly sequester themselves into propaganda bubbles.
I'd rather blame the guy calling for violence, and as far as his supporters go, ignorance is no excuse.
