The vitriol aimed at Trump is unprecedented, and that's why you have a #WalkAway movement.

Shoot, it's why Trump was elected in the first place. People were emboldened by the media telling them what to think.

I'm going to have to disagree with this. I haven't seen more violence against Trump's likeness than I saw against Obama. There has certainly been more violence at protests, but the blame has been shared equally between far right and far left groups. 

Also, the #WalkAway movement is not some organic thing that liberals are doing. People switch political affiliation all of the time. In this case, most of the twitter accounts retweeting the hashtag are linked to Pro-Trump accounts or Russian accounts. The cool thing about twitter is there are a ton of tools to see how these things start and are spread:

There is also the fact that the memes being shared are fake and used stock photos.
