The Impact of Donald Trump on Hate Crimes in America
Richard, you ask that as if he has never been. The playbook is old, especially with Trump and his MAGA and kissers in Congress. Scare the hell out of people and then tell them you alone can protect them.
Are hate crimes on the rise due to Donald Trump?
Yes
Most of the hate crimes have been against people who support him. So it is not Trump who is causing these hate crimes unless you argue that disagreement with liberals is the cause of hate crimes. Everyone shares the responsibility for creating this environment.
Being 66 years old, I have personally witnessed the revival of old racism, which, in part, can be attributed to Trump and his speeches. After he became president, some of his cronies adopted his inflammatory rhetoric, leading to many Republicans, including senators and governors, following suit. In my view, half of America is backing this kind of personality. Trump is a very likable and charismatic figure, but so are narcissists who attract someone unguarded. Once with them, they isolate her from friends and family, degrading her and abusing her until she can’t break away from their abusive behavior.
I would argue that Trump is not the sole agent in this situation. He recruited, supported, and empowered thousands of racists, energizing and legitimized their actions. He is their leader, the one who provides the platform for their harmful rhetoric and actions.
Does Donald Trump single-handedly cause hate crimes?
No, he didn’t. He recruited, romanced, supported, and empowered thousands of racists to join him in his mission. He energized them, but worst of all, he legitimized and normalized their violent and hateful speech. He is their leader.
Does Donald Trump take pleasure in pitting Americans against each other?
Yes, he clearly takes pleasure in pitting Americans against one another, which yields angry hatred that leads to more vile hate crimes. This man is simply evil, and his stupidity adds to his cult being completely brainwashed.
Is it true that Democrats are responsible for hate crimes by supporting BLM?
No, it is not the Democrats. It was the democrats who supported the black version of the KKK known as BLM, which murdered police officers, burned businesses, and robbed stores over a suicide case where George Floyd was claiming it was murder. George Floyd took a lethal dose of fentanyl and six other drugs.
Conclusion
Crimes of all sorts, including hate crimes, have accelerated under Donald Trump. Hate crimes are just the tip of the iceberg. This country has experienced group intolerance since he descended to a bought crowd down the escalator. After a hate-free and crime-free period under President Obama, under Trump’s presidency, there have been over...
The rise in hate crimes cannot be solely attributed to one person or party. It is a multifaceted issue influenced by social, political, and economic factors. While Trump’s rhetoric and actions have played a significant role, it is essential to recognize the collective responsibility and the need for comprehensive solutions to address these issues.
