This is correct. People with Trump signs have had their homes vandalized. Those displaying Trump bumper stickers, cars vandalized.
This is how libs operate. Worst of all, the libs think this criminal behavior is justified.

No...Violence in our inner cities is an important issue.
Because inner city dwellers are primarily protected classes, the Left chooses to ignore that issue and resort to personal attacks.
60 years of liberal control of major cities, all the promises to end poverty, create jobs, etc have resulted in violent places occupied by a permanent underclass.
All of which is sanctioned by wealthy liberals....

Chicago is a leftist city, and a real nightmare. What about Chicago do you think we should expand to all of our cities and towns?

America’s Therapists Are Worried About Trump’s Effect On Your Mental Health
His candidacy is sowing fear, distress and anger across the country, they say. Here’s what one psychologist is doing to try to stop it.
By Gail Sheehy October 10, 2016
What is Donald Trump doing to Americans’ mental health? It came up in the debate Sunday night, when Hillary Clinton pointed to a “Trump effect,” an uptick in bullying and distress that teachers are noticing in classrooms as their students are exposed to a candidate who regularly attacks his opponents in bombastic, even threatening terms. The new revelation of Trump’s crude boasts in 2005 about being able to kiss and grope women and “move on” a married woman “like a *****” gave new fuel to the charge that his candidacy might be normalizing aggressive, disparaging talk and behavior.
This all might be another political attack, just stacked up on top of the familiar charges that Trump is a danger to national security, an impulsive and erratic personality, and indifferent to the Constitution. But thousands of therapists are worried that it’s something more—and they’ve been saying so for months.
Over the summer, some 3,000 therapists signed a self-described manifesto declaring Trump’s proclivity for scapegoating, intolerance and blatant sexism a “threat to the well-being of the people we care for” and urging others in the profession to speak out against him. Written and circulated online by University of Minnesota psychologist William J. Doherty, the manifesto enumerated a variety of effects therapists report seeing in their patients: that Trump’s combative and chaotic campaign has stoked feelings of anxiety, fear, shame and helplessness, especially in women, gay people, minority groups and nonwhite immigrants, who feel not just alienated but personally targeted by the candidate’s message.
The manifesto also made a subtler point: that all the attention heaped on Trump is actually making it harder for therapists to do their jobs. Trump’s campaign is legitimizing, even celebrating, a set of personal behaviors that psychotherapists work to reverse every day in their offices: “The tendency to blame ‘others’ in our lives for our personal fears and insecurities, and then battle these ‘others,’ instead of taking the healthier, more difficult path, of self-awareness and self-responsibility,” as Doherty wrote. Trump also “normalizes a kind of hyper-masculinity that is antithetical to the healthy relationships that psychotherapy helps people achieve.” Not to mention that his comments in the 2005 tape, Doherty says, are consistent with the behavior of a “sexual predator.”
Women have been a repeated target of Trump’s, particularly of late, with his crude hot mic comments, his revived body-shaming attacks against former Miss Universe Alicia Machado and his not-so-veiled threats on Hillary Clinton’s life—suggesting that Second Amendment supporters could take up arms against her, or that Clinton’s bodyguards should disarm to “see what happens to her.” Those comments have touched a nerve in many women, sometimes even more alarmingly among those dealing with the post-traumatic effects of physical or sexual abuse by husbands, boyfriends or fathers.
Patrick Dougherty, a trauma therapist in the Twin Cities who is a longtime colleague of Doherty’s (no relation), has found that even his mostly white heterosexual male patients—Trump’s demographic sweet spot—are experiencing anger and fear as a result of Trump’s campaign. Partly it’s that many of the men Dougherty treats grew up in dysfunctional families—a violent or alcoholic parent, or one who was depressed or negligent. Trump’s aggressiveness is triggering for them personal childhood traumas, says Dougherty, himself a Marine veteran of the Vietnam War. For others, Trump is contributing to a sense of “collective trauma,” a blow that tears at the basic tissue of social life.
Trump’s emergence in therapy sessions presents a powerful conflict for some therapists between their professional norms—which include not imposing their political beliefs on their clients—and what some describe as a strong, even historic sense of moral obligation to keep this candidate out of the White House. Kirsten Lind Seal, a therapist who teaches ethics at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota and signed Doherty’s manifesto, assured me, “I am not going to diagnose Trump from afar, but I have an ethical obligation to make my voice heard [outside of the consulting room] about how bigotry, xenophobia, racist and sexist speech is ripping apart the fabric of our social and political life.”

I am afraid Trump has little to do with this, he's just a pawn. The far right/neo-nazis have been on the rise in Europe for quite a while, and with it various forms of hate speech including among children, maybe not so much the sexist stuff.
Traditionally the Soviet Union has been supporting left-wing terrorists, be it Palestinians, Basque, IRA, Red Army Faction and whatnot. I am not going to comment on their cause, just that they committed terrorist acts on European soil in order to destabilize Western Europe.
Neo-nazis have existed in the USA and Europe for a long time, they were certainly around in the 1970s and later, and no doubt earlier, but no state would provide them support.
Enter Putin, who figured out several years ago that in order to take over Europe, he needs to fund and help these groups in various ways.
Russia Hosting Europe’s Neo-Nazis, Nationalists and Anti-Semites, Putin Supporters All
