Trump doesn't deserve blame for what's happening right now - the only thing you can blame on Trump is his complete lack of compassion and willingness to unite the people, and instead actively divides the people. He's not even trying to hide it anymore...
So you agree that Trump is working to divide us at a time when it's important that we be united, but you don't think that his doing so is having any further negative effect on the rioting whatsoever?
It's a reasonable opinion, I guess, but I disagree. I think that at a sensitive time right now, if our leaders refuse to properly lead, then things getting worse can only be a foregone conclusion.
I don't think it's having as much impact as you think - I'm not going to rule it out, as I've said, Trump is being deliberately divisive - he gets pleasure out of seeing people hate one another, it's scary and demented.
What I'm really trying to say is that a lot of the hate and violence that is coming out now is not to be blamed on Trump. It has been there for decades. Us white, privileged people have been made to think racism was snuffed out with the civil rights movement, and the 13th amendment, but the truth is slavery and racism was reformed into something else, but it was still slavery and racism.
Trump promotes it, touts it, lives and breathes it. Every day that goes on, he looks more and more like Hitler reincarnated. The American Stalin. A confederate, and a bigot. For all of these reasons, Trump is at fault for the result of anyone who buys into that, but I'm afraid most people who follow him were always there to follow him. Trump has not changed anyone's mind, he's just further confirmed and publicized the corruption and hatred that was already there.
When I say Trump isn't to blame, what I mean is that he hasn't created a 'secret army' of nazis right under our noses, the 'secret army' has always been there.
