You're making a fair point - people aren't "supporting" those leftist thugs.
But i think it would be fair to say that many seem far more concerned about Trump's braggadocio than they do about actual mass political violence from the left, and that some are placing the blame for the violence on the speaker rather than the thugs. Some even seem pretty close to excusing that violence.
I guess I disagree that anyone is close to excusing the violence, and though it's true that the first response from a few is that Trump encourages violence, IMO, that is among many rational and responsible reactions.
It is a fact that Donald Trump has encouraged punching people and removing them physically from his rallies. That's not good.
It is also a fact that Trump has made multiple incendiary comments about Mexicans that light the fires of outrage........... rightly or wrongly.
I have seen no one say that what the leftist thugs have done is right or even excusable, but only that it is understandable, given Trump's very bad behavior. That is a point that can be discussed, and is better discussed with both sides' being honest in their comments. I don't think that the accusation that some here condone violence is in any way honest discussion.
I think everyone here understands that leftists have always been violent thugs. We've all seen in before multiple times. And again, I have seen no one saying that violence is acceptable, though some liberally (deliberate choice of word) apply their own
feelings and make that accusation.
Edited to add: I very much appreciate the constructive contribution you have already made to this forum,
