Of course not, see my post above. The shooter's manifesto reads like a greatest hits of Trump's racist tweets.Did he condemn white supremacy in those tweets?

This is a really good point. As you show, it’s not like this shooter came up with this idea independently. He’s had a ton of encouragement from people like Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump, John Coryn, Laura ingraham, and Ben Shapiro.
When you have such idols on the right as Shapiro selling hate and fear, what do we expect? And people find this *** clown thought provoking? What kind of deplorable people are they?
When every night Fox News engages in white nationalist hour? No wonder why people are living in the alt reality that they are.
And when the president holds rallies nonstop spreading fear of invasion? Ummm yeah. We got problems that need to be solved.
This nonsense shouldn’t be tolerated
An outside perspective that I think is the right one. We're in the middle of a "cold" civil war, and it's not hard to see what side Trump is on.
This essentially summarizes Donald trump’s words today... and basically all of his interviews and press conferences:
Tom Nichols is a conservative btw
This I can agree with, honestly I think we are closer in agreement than not. I think our disagreement only stems from where we derive that authentic identity.
Yeah, I'm all about disregarding notions of race as something to base an identity around.Cool. I agree that it can’t be forced. But I would also assert that whiteness has been forced on all of us of Euro descent as if it were a scientific truth.
Only false identities are built upon lies. I agree with you that the culture that you’ve built around you in the mountain west is authentic. But none of that is based upon a construct whose Original intent was meant to justify the slave trade.
Nevertheless, our president is able to excite his voting base by simply inferring racist ideals that center on that construct.
Whiteness may not be as deleterious to you as I perceive it to be. But it is not helping us. It should be exposed for the lie that it is.
