Actually there is quite a bit of evidence that shows that shootings from right wing folks have been going up. But they were going up even before Trump. They've been shooting more cops and citizens then ISIS. Think about that.

Used to be the left wing was the ones doing it in the 70's and 80's, now its switched.

And we're talking the extreme far right here. Lets not confuse them with Conservatives or Republicans. They arent the same folks at all. Same with the extreme far left in the 70's.

It's foolish and idiotic to blame Trump for any increase in violence. Violence happens no matter who is the President.

Considering that Dylann Roof’s crimes were committed in 2015, during the Obama administration, it’s safe to say that his mindset was clearly influenced by Obamism, rather than Trumpism.

True enough. Roof might be the one inspired by Trump...the others didn't need inspiration...just a-holes.

Dylann Roof, Nikolaus Cruz, and now Mark Conditt are all conservatives who have committed mass murder. Is this is a new trend, violence from right wing extremists?
It'll never reach the level of black on black crime, that's for certain.

If you think Roof-Cruz-Conditt is a trend inspired by Trumpism, vote Yes. If you disagree, vote No. It's pretty simple.
The twisted defense of twisting language. Dish rag diplomacy Rinse and repeat with :

Another smear headline out in print and hope they work on low information voters.

Ah yes, good ol deflection by whataboutism. Mix in making it about race, and we have a trifecta!

Do you have no shame at all? Why not try and discuss the actual topic?

Was all dnc leaders when Trump rally attendees were attacked and lefties said nothing to discourage? Was Loretta skunk Lynch when she insisted “blood in the streets”??? oBozo Said nothing, actually encouraged rioters after the election? You own the biggest glass house buddy
wait second..are you actually saying that the DNC has some kind of control over people who attacked Trump supporters?

If so, then I guess the RNC failed to do it's duty by not discouraging this

Report: Woman, 69, punched in face by Trump supporter from Edisto outside rally

or this...

Man accused of attacking rally protester says Trump inspired him

or this...

Reporter and photographers say they were assaulted by Trump supporters at Huntington Beach rally

geezus....
