As often, I agree with the principle here, but not with the sense of equality. Trump started a spiral. I will not discharge those that contribute to the spiral of any guilt, left or right, of course not. But who started the spiral (and keeps accelerating it) still holds more weight and hence is a more intense point to me. Other contributions, less so.

I think it has some merit. Reasonably speaking. It's not a moot point, although you can easily paint it as too intense (and if you use a broad brush, I might even agree, I just don't think using a broad brush applies). The truth within it, to me, is what I stated above. The truth also is that we don't know anything specific about the bomber. That doesn't mean there's no reason to argue what makes such events more likely. And that just can't be a "both sides contribute equally" argument. Not with Trump.
