Was 2016 the first time Democrats lost an election? Did Dems physically attack George Bush supporters. Or McCain supporters? Or Romney supporters? If they did how did those adult candidates respond?
Trump was not some poor innocent victim who just defended himself from evil attackers. From day one he has been aggressive and promoted violence. As soon as he announced his campaign he was the favorite of the clan and white nationalists. From the very beginning he was making racists comments about Mexican immigrants and horrible comments about women.
What is the more likely logical explanation for what is going on? For some unknown reason everyone else in the world changed their behavior when Trump decided to run for President or Trump's behavior caused people to change their behavior?
It is ridiculous to claim everything changed just because Dems lost an election when they have lost many elections in the past with out triggering this type of behavior.
Not even considering generational changes of young voters in 12 years, nothing you posted refutes the fact that the left were engaging in violence during the 2016 election. Trump didn't cultivate a culture of violence. his candidacy just exposed it.
It was born in hate and it continues to this day.
