Counties that hosted a 2016 Trump rally saw a 226 percent increase in hate crimes



We examined this question, given that so many politicians and pundits accuse Trump of emboldening white nationalists. White nationalist leaders seem to agree, as leaders including Richard Spencer and David Duke have publicly supported Trump’s candidacy and presidency, even if they still criticize him for not going far enough. The New Zealand shooter even referred to Trump as a “renewed symbol of white identity.”

So, do attitudes like these have real world consequences? Recent research on far-right groups suggests that they do, especially when these attitudes are embraced and encourage by peers. Specifically, the quantity of neo-Nazi and racist skinhead groups active in a state leads to increased reports of hate crimes within that state.

We found that counties that had hosted a 2016 Trump campaign rally saw a 226 percent increase in reported hate crimes over comparable counties that did not host such a rally.

Additionally, it is hard to discount a “Trump effect” when a considerable number of these reported hate crimes reference Trump. According to the ADL’s 2016 data, these incidents included vandalism, intimidation and assault.

What’s more, according to the FBI’s Universal Crime report in 2017, reported hate crimes increased 17 percent over 2016. Recent research also shows that reading or hearing Trump’s statements of bias against particular groups makes people more likely to write offensive things about the groups he targets.

From watching trump's actions both during his campaign and while in the WH, IMHO, if trump loses in 2020 election, trump will completely destroy the White House. 

trump does not handle loosing very well.  every time he loses he goes on a tweet storm...

What wvi t failed to tell you was that most of those hate crimes were by liberals attacking conservatives for their political beliefs.

The take away here is that wherever conservatives convene, there will surely be liberals to attack them.

Trump is an EXPERT at Spreading the Hate!

This is why all the trump lovers are going to Hell.

Liberals are the experts at spreading hate.  Trump only punches back.  He never starts it.
