As far as I'm concerned the increasing violence here and elsewhere, if any, is a direct result of Trump and a maxed out, stressed out nation. In Alaska, the recession is another factor. But from before Trump was elected, his message of hate increased the overall tension in this country. And since he was elected, the chaos and insanity has ratcheted up impossibly high, from insecurity about health care and jobs to his obvious allegiance to and encouragement of white supremacists and racism in general, to fear of deporatation and an atomic attack from one of the many nations Trump has insulted and threatened.

He is a danger to America and our way of life, not to mention values, morals and ethics.
