Yes he was from a nice Republican family and yet was still radicalized into left wing extremism. That makes it even worse, you dumb ◊◊◊◊.

Many people on here, including you sometimes, have insisted that anyone who is a republican or even just an independent is just as bad as literal nazis. The assertion has been made that because some non-politician white supremacist ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ pieces of crap support the republican party, then anyone who doesn't actively and persistently denounce the republicans in their entirety is tacitly supporting racism. It's gone beyond that even, to where failure to sign up as a true-blue democrat somehow implies acceptance of it. I've lost track of how many times I've been told that me being non-partisan and distrusting politicians of every ilk, having a variety of positions some of which are conservative-ish but most of which are liberal means that I'm just as bad as the head honcho of the KKK.

If every single conservative in the US is tarnished beyond redemption by some entirely different ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ supporting republicans... then the same thing holds true for liberals. If conservatives can be demonized as an entire group for the vile beliefs of a small group, then liberals should also be at risk based on the vile and quite freely and unabashedly expressed abhorrent views of a small group of "accounts on twitter".

And I'm just as aghast at that, and the entire situation causes me a significant amount of concern.

You're aware that Trump quotes Hitler in his rallies, right? Maybe if he'd stop doing that we'd stop being confused.

I was more broadly referring to the theory that insulting multiple groups of marginalized people might lead them to do something violent. It wasn't really this specific instance, unless it turns out to be that. You're right, we don't know.

Source ? I have a feeling ideology of these people is mostly incoherent, and they are mentally ill in the first place.
Now the fact that polarizing rhetoric can trigger such people is another thing. But it's not usually as simple as "Trump declared war on DC, so some loonie killed homeless in DC" .. I can't recall a single case where you could clearly categorize the perpetrator, much less where you could blame a political party for the act.

The clearest example of the right not only using political violence and normalizing it, but actually celebrating it is January 6th and its aftermath.

A mob of hundreds of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to violently overthrow the results of an election they didn't like. The rightwing has embraced them as heroes and martyrs and Trump gave them all pardons.
 
College is the problem.. Radical Left Extremists all of them!

Duffy: You heard the family members say that this man became more political in recent years—what did he do in recent years? He went to college. That is where kids are getting radicalized. Not just online, our campuses are where a lot of radicalization, hate, and intolerance starts from.

Well yeah, but that was not assassination. It was crowd gone wild more than anything else.
 
"Browncoats"

Don Jr: "The irony of the anti-fascists these days -- they seem to be taking a lot of playbooks out of the fascists, out of the browncoats. 'If you don't agree with someone, kill them.' That seems quite fascist to me. So I wish we stop calling them antifa."

Words do not cause harm, only actions do... if people are offended, they can block the poster and don't read their posts - if you are offended by something someone says on TV, or radio, change the bloody station.

Where does one draw the line? We have the famous example of not shouting fire in a theater. Words *do* cause harm, in certain situations.
If one runs into a Harlem club and starts shouting the 'N' word at everyone, and them someone takes a swing at you--should you play the 'victim card'? Cause legally, in most cases you could, it is considered a criminal assault, despite the incitement. Yet the assaulter typically would not be sentenced to a long jail sentence or death, unless he was in Trump's new America.
