Just curious how Trump is to blame for any of that nonsense that happened? What happened to not acting like an animal and personal responsibility?

Of course people are responsible for their own actions, but if you are unable to draw a straight line from Trump's rhetoric to Nazis feeling comfortable openly displaying their swatsika tattoos and otherwise emboldening the worst elements of society, that's willful blindness on your part.

Willful blindness? Hardly. When you speak of Trump's rhetoric, I assume you mean his handling of the Charlottesville situation. I agree he handled that very badly, but to use that as a direct line for Nazis displaying tattoos (how can the president of the United States control that) and acting like animals is to put far too much responsibility on one man and the federal government as a whole. Nazis were doing awful things - boldly - before Trump became president.
