      Were the Republican nazis calling in bomb threats to Springfield before trump broadcast his fake news on air?

          You are the one making the claim. You could at least have spent a few seconds finding out if it’s true before you wrote it. Otherwise it’s just bullshit that you have pulled out of your arse.

              I wish I could blame this one on Trump, but neo-Nazi crazies have been stoking this fire for a long time.

              In case you forgot what you wrote. Hope that helps.

                  Bloody hell, just give it up. What is “this one” referring to if not the bomb threats in the title? If it’s not trump to blame for the bomb threats starting now, then you will be able to show them happening before trump jumped on the existing neo nazi bandwagon, right?

      No name racists on the internet vs former (and potential future) POTUS… Yeah you’re right, it’s tough to tell who is more responsible for spreading this particular bit of misinformation.

      I was talking to my 90 year old grandfather recently if the political climate has ever been this bad. He responded. “No, its never been this bad. Trump is an incendiary.”

      Trump absolutely takes a lot of blame in this. He heard something he thought would benefit him and repeated it tot the masses like it was fact.

      Trump is to blame. When someone who half of the country blindly follows starts spewing slanderous venom, his followers will do the same. He’s been doing it for years on other random issues. They follow every time. And he knows it.

          This is what you said:

          Sounds like you’re the one who made it a binary.

      Acting like Trump didn’t come in with a leaf blower and start blowing embers everywhere is just crazy to me.
