holy mother of hypocrisy, that's pretty rich coming from the hack who blamed merkel for the death of an 8 year old by some scumbag who did not have any political motives.
I never said the death of the 8 year old boy who was pushed in front of an incoming train by an Eritrean refugee was an act with political motives - I said it was an act with political implications because this murder of an innocent boy could never have happened if European countries didnt hand out asylum and legal status to people from violent, backwards societies like candy.

there is a difference between just calling some people 'horrible' once... and constant vilifying of brown people and immigrants, frequent bigotry, racism, hate- and fearmongering, as well as daily lying about 'the otheres' and incitement.
Trump is
not vilifying brown people and immigrants, he's vilifying illegal immigrants and/or those immigrants who refuse or try-but-fail to assimilate into the American society.

there is a difference between directly enticing someone to commit mass murder... and deliberately dividing the country with your rhetoric, creating a toxic, hostile, and violent environment, where white nationalist and other right wing scumbags feel emboldened to do something about those 'horrible horrible' people.
The toxic, hostile, violent environment precedes Trump. One could even say it was this environment which enabled Trump in the first place.
But nice to see that you agree on the point that his words cant realistically be enticing mass murder
directly, even though Icemage's pic implied just that.
When it comes to right wing nutjobs feeling emboldened by him, I'm actually with you: Trump must really find a way to make it perfectly clear that violence and hatred are not the way to support him or his cause; and he needs to find a way of framing his core policy goals in a more wholesome language.
