When you use adverbs like "clearly", it should be clear. Unfortunately it's not very clear at all.
Has Trump asked for Mexicans to be killed? Driven out? Are those reflective of his policy goals and/or objectives? Has he called for violence against Mexicans directly? Indirectly?
Provide concrete examples.
An antifa activist attempted to commit mass murder because he was told, by radical elements of the Democratic party and by the media, that immigration enforcement was a sin on par with Nazism and the Holocaust. That is my definition of causality.
read trump's tweets and watch his statements about immigrants and mexicans, and then read the shooter's manifesto. again, i'm not quite sure if you simply CAN'T see it, or if you just don't WANT to acknowledge it, but either way it's pretty fucking pathetic.
that said, the facts sure don't care about your definitions and feelings. no matter how hard you try to convince yourself the two shootings are basically the same in terms of political motivation, and that your precious cult leader's divisive rhetoric has nothing to do with the radicalisation of such nut jobs, the best you can do is delude yourself. it's blatantly obvious to the world outside your little bubble.

Young minority men don't need another reason to get mistreated or shot by the cops by getting involved with white groups that get them hopped up on street wars when the white cowards go home safe every night
young minority men need jobs and to stay clean and to stay out of trouble. Protect their sisters and help raise their brothers. Care for their mothers
Antifa are lying cowards that take advantage of troubled and lost youth and they leave them to the wolves
Only cowards harm unarmed people with mobs. Only cowards take advantage of lost and abused youth and set them up to be harmed or harm others
interesting framing and priorities you have. a couple of questions: to which end are they 'taken advantage of' and by whom? who is masterminding antifa in your opinion?
and again, why does that trigger you more than white nationalist terrorists that actually KILL people? i mean, i understand condemning physical violence, and i'm with you on that, but you seem to have fully bought into the simplistic right wing narratives trying to smear any political opposition. everyone who doesn't agree is either "fake news" or a "terror organisation", has "TDS", is a "RINO", or a "paid protester (by soros of course)". why do you choose to forgo nuance on this particular issue? any personal experience that explains your irrational overreaction?
