Wherever do people get these ideas?

You must have missed Trump's conference today where he condemned white supremacy and these shootings and said "white supremacy and other dangerous ideologies must be stopped. The shootings must stop. The hatred and racism must stop."
Yeah, that sure sounds like a guy who is applauding the shooter.
All these questions of, "Why won't Trump condemn it?" He does. Multiple times. But leftists ignore it and keep asking why doesn't he condemn it.
No one is saying that Trump is applauding the shooter. It is hard to take anything that Trump says seriously. He frequently lies, so much so that it is hard to trust anything that he says.
It is especially hard to believe him when he condemns racism, as he did today, reading off of the teleprompter. Racism is his go-to default mode, especially when he is talking extemporaneously. Which I have to believe is more indicative of his true self.
The party that he leads has provided a political home for the racists in the US for more than forty years since they were dumped out of the Democratic party.
The chart included in the post points out the similarities between Trump's pronouncements and the shooter's rant. More than that it points out the same between the rant and samples from Fox News. There is nothing in the rant of a raging mad mass killer that wouldn't be surprising coming out of the mouths of your garden variety Republican or movement conservative.
This is the difference between the right and the left. The country has in the last forty years or so become increasingly conservative and both political parties have moved to the right. This means that the Republican party has become more extreme and the Democratic party has become more moderate. Anyone supporting the Republicans or calling themselves conservatives today can't escape the simple truth that they are aligning themselves with extremists.
