The Left were extremely violent leading up to the 2016 election, you cannot deny that; nor can you make up that Trump cultivated it; it was already there. Many called Obama the Great Divider; perhaps there was something to it.
Bottom line: You cannot accuse Trump of cultivating something that was happening before he was ever elected. The millennials came to age around 2006-2016. This generation was brought up on the internet and they consider themselves socially awoken. They are highly educated (do read intelligent) and absorbed great debt to get there. The Left offered them everything they wanted and when it was threatened they got mad and when they didn't get it they lost their minds.
But who knows. Maybe the guy that said if he would take Trump out behind the gym and beat the hell out of him can stop this culture. Or maybe adults can take control.
The disconnect between Trump's own actions and widespread "hate" for him continues to astonish.
Have you ever heard of BIRTHERISM? Who made that his signature theme? Can we accuse Trump of "cultivating" that before he was elected?

The ONLY people who called Obama "the Great Divider" were Fox and their political friends, especially for his response to a college professor stopped by the police at his own door--because "Black"--and his empathy for Trayvon Martin's parents. I.e., Because Obama . . . .
In what world does some entity called "the left" offer a single youth demographic "everything they wanted"? What specific person made this offer on behalf of "the left"? What "it" was threatened--by whom? How?
There are youth out there shouting as they riot "But 'the Left' PROMISED!" ??
