Do u believe Donald Trump is to blame for the recent shootings in the US ? 🤔

As it stands today. It appears that Trump has emboldened these White Nationalists to commit these acts of terror. The recent events in our world today says everything. You saw the shootings in Texas and Ohio. White Nationalism, or nationalism from any ethnic group or race is the problem here. If we do not call it for what it is this tragedy will never end. Something needs to be done. But these racist comments from Trump must end. What do you think. 😐

Trump caused a spike in right-wing terrorism, and some of the recent shootings have been over right-wing issues, but not all of them. Most of them have just been crazy people with guns, which is a problem America has had for quite a while.

@BohemianBoo While its possible he had some influence, you cant be sure Trump was the trigger. The right wing terror goes back as far as Oklahoma city. And another right wing firebrand would have done just as well.😷
@whowasthatmaskedman You are right that right wing terror goes back to the 80s but Trump was the first POTUS to openly support right wing terror groups.

@redredred And that is probably all of them. White right wing terror has been the biggest threat to Americans for decades now. But your racist narrative is more important than facts I guess.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Odd comment since all I presented were facts. The fantasy that almost all the violence in our country is caused by white, right-wing killers is simply not borne out by the facts. Who do you think perpetrates the inner-city urban violence? Do you really think gangs of Proud Boys are roaming the south side of Chicago shooting black ten year-olds?
@redredred No, you presented a meme. The facts don't match your feelings. Sorry.

It is not a fantasy. It is an inconvenient fact fragile idiots like you refuse to believe because it hurts your feelings.

And for fuck sakes. Anyone who is too stupid to know the difference between terrorism and petty gang violence is too stupid to discuss something like this seriously.

That makes about as much sense as comparing Al Qaeda with bank robbers. Fuck you are dense. 🤦‍♂️

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow That petty gang violence is the bulk of the gun homicide problem in the US. Subtract the numbers from Chicago, NYC, LA, Baltimore and Philadelphia and the US gun homicide rate drops to Western European standards.

I’m very sorry to have to be the one to tell you this but subtract Black-on-Black gun homicides from the total and the problem becomes a much more rational issue.
@redredred Wow. You are really really desperate to conflate random petty crime with terrorism to push your racist bullshit.

And doubling down on your racist distraction. Did you get that from the Daily Sormer or Stormfront?

Or maybe Liberty Hangout which was also exposed as a bunch of right wing extremists. Doubt that is a coincidence.

@redredred And still pretending this has anything at all to do with the topic.

Funny how you push DOJ stats when it fits your white power agenda but when the same department states that white radicals like you are the greatest terror threat by a massive margin you immediately reject it because it doesn't match your emotions.
@redredred Thin blue line.....except when I don't like their facts.
@BohemianBoo Charlottesville, "They have good people on their side, very fine people on both sides" He had a way of reaching some people and bringing out the worst in them, both sides. The law-and-order president AKA: Stable Genius was an 'Equal Opportunity' violence inciter.
