Great post Paul, sincerely.

TDF made the original post, I presume, as a way to thumb his nose at the notion (and it has been a fairly widespread notion) that Trump's election has emboldened white supremacists to start attacking anyone they don't like.

Yes, there are Trump supporters who are thugs and need to be dealt with. Trump is no more responsible for that, than Obama/Hilary are for what happened in this video.

And that's the difference between our two sides. I haven't seen a single right-wing media type blame any Democratic politician for the attack in this video. But many left-wing pundits are connecting Trump to the alleged attacks carried out by his supporters (some of which have proven to be fake).
