I guess? I'm sure there were a lot of contributing factors, I can't say for certain that Trump was definitive factor but absorbing so much hateful rhetoric has a documented affect on someone's psychology over time. It is all propaganda. And Trump is a big part of the alt-right's current rhetoric. He feeds into it. He used it as a fundamental part of his foundation and campaign.Again, I'm sure to an extent the fear mongering that some far left news outlets spew out had some play in shaping the shooters mentality but why does that matter here? Start a separate thread. Calling for an impeachment of a corrupt President and justifying ethnic cleansing can corrupt and warp the minds of fragile individuals. But they aren't on the same level.
Vladimir Putin used this logic today to justify the Protests in Russia by pointing to Occupy Wall Street today. Nazi's pointed to America and their history of slavery while on trial for their crimes against humanity. We can condemn shitty things people do no matter their political leaning.
It matters because leftist cucks didn't have the same reaction to it as they did this. It's what I'm tired of, dishonest pieces of shit pretending they aren't placing the blame on people. And yes, the left *is* on the same level.
And let me settle something: Trump bears zero responsibility for this. Full stop.
