Anyone's actions against said groups are their own, and simply because they somehow FEEL that Trump "legitimized" those feelings, does not mean it is Trump's fault by any stretch. Funny how the right makes this exact same stance against islam, yet the left insists that it isn't the fault of islam for terrorist attacks. Do you not see the hypocrisy in this? It is not condoned by Trump, and such actions are punishable by law.
Trump's word has shown to hold nearly no value with all the ridiculous promises that can't be kept, and with all the stance flip-flopping he's done. **I doubt he will do anything discriminatory now that he is actually in power. Sorry, forgot to add this.
We definitely disagree on how much blame lies on Trump. I think you give too much credit to free thought of the general public. Obviously it's irrelevant how Trump made them feel - it's wrong no matter what. But that fact that it IS happening is the issue.
I disagree with that stance on islam. (Noting that I dislike the concept of religion in general), Certain religions combined with certain cultures is a way to cultivate the same kind of hatred against the 'other' that the Trump campaign did. I see the hypocrisy in both parties and point it out in the conversations I have.
I don't think the world is going to end. I don't think we're going to break out in WWIII. I don't think there will be mass genocide. Life will continue on as it always has.
