What I don't like is how we are obsessed with tying these horrific acts to an ideology, and not mental illness.

Donald Trump: far right-wing
I think he should be classified as Trump-wing.

Reports of non-lethal attacks against minorities since Trump started spewing seem to be up at schools and colleges across the country as reported in the news.
Attempted murder isn't "better" than murder. It just means you're no good at it.

Re: Crossing The Line

The fact that we even have a Left vs Right discussion proves that there are two sides.
To be fair, what you have in the US is a discussion between the Silly Party and the Very Silly Party, which is barely one side.

the seething hatred of Trump
I don't think it's hatred as much as disgust. Politics aside, he's a pig (no insult to pigs intended).

Re: More threats from Right Wing traitors

Well, one gun nut with one gun shooting someone in the leg would probably put an end to the entire movement, so there's that.
Not likely. Forty of them could accidentally shoot their own children and still call themselves responsible gun owners.

Setting off bombs with no political purpose is not terrorism.
Terrorism is an attempt to induce terror. It may or may not have political purposes. A bomb is by definition a random weapon which targets random people, which is likely to induce terror.

... in fully Catholic countries, from what I've read about these things, they are as alien as you can get from our ways of thinking.
In Canada, we have approximately 39% Catholics and 28% Protestants (Wiki). The Monster Raving Loonie Protestants - the only ones that you would consider Christians - are a small minority of Protestants. There tend to be fewer differences between Catholics and most Protestants than there are between most Protestants and Monster Raving Loonie Protestants.
So yes, our thinking is pretty alien from yours.
