Okay I'm ignorant on this one.. can someone tell me how? Idk how to begin to Google this and I'm genuinely asking.

Trump’s campaign and political rhetoric has escalated violence against minorities in general- and in particular Muslim and hispanic people; who he used as scapegoats.

His rhetoric has normalized the concept of political violence emboldening the the far-right to act in exactly this manner.

Well, there are others, but this alone was a HUGE fucking provocation in 2017 that was entirely unnecessary.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_recognition_of_Jerusalem_as_capital_of_Israel

I mean, what the fuck, diaper boy: it was only ever going to piss off the majority while doing fuck all to change anything in reality. In other words, help destabilize an already precarious peace.

And I'm still kind of wondering whose idea it was, not to mention who got paid, by whom, and how much, because when it happened, even though US evangelicals have had a thing about Jerusalem for decades ("pray for the peace of Jerusalem") the actual pivot on policy seemed to come out of the blue, as Tel Aviv had done just fine as "acting capitol" for decades.

That right there is 100% Trump, unnecessarily fanning the flames of local dispute for absolutely nothing legitimate.

And now he's in nazi-courting mode again, so he's dropped all the pro-Israel talking points for the time being. As if we needed more evidence that orange man has literally zero principles.

Thank you! I'm sorry I didn't know how to explain this. I didnt mean how but what context did trump contribute to these particular in and out groups. What you explained is this biggest reason I hate him and why I'm so scared of him.

I really appreciate it and I didn't know there was a term for what I felt about him!
