I admit I am also VERY tired of these partisan issues when the root is mental illness.

This guy might have been inspired to stab this other person because he is a Trump support. Another guy might have been inspired to assault a middle eastern woman walking down the street because he thinks all middle eastern people are terrorists due to the rhetoric of the Right.

We can't just blame everything on mental illness. There are plenty of violent offenders who have no disorders, and no one knows if these people did.

The left has turned into goddamn savages after losing the election so badly, and all the people who they get their political news from either imply they should be violent or explicitly endorse it. Before Trump was even announced the winner of the election, CNN blamed white people for electing him because they were angry about having a black president, and therefore racist.

When you have people on all sides insisting that Trump and everyone who supports him are evil and want you to die from cancer because you're uninsured, then of course the less reasonable among them will react with violence. Why wouldn't they?
