We’ve seen the proof over the past few weeks. Trump’s xenophobic rhetoric hasn’t just pushed his fellow candidates to the right on immigration (in what has become known as the “Trump Effect”). It’s gone beyond the political world and injected itself into everyday life — and, in at least one instance, in a very violent way.
This map shows documented instances where Donald Trump, his supporters, or his staff harassed or attacked Latinos and immigrants.
This is only the beginning.
By the time we get to November this will be a country ablaze with hatred.

23 year old man arrested for setting California mosque on fire. Father blames social media. Is that another name for "Donald Trump?"
A 23-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of committing a hate crime and arson in connection with a Southern California mosque fire, authorities said Saturday.
Carl James Dial Jr., of Palm Desert, was arrested late Friday and booked for investigation of commission of a hate crime, arson, maliciously setting a fire and burglary, according to a Riverside County sheriff's statement and jail records.
Dial was being held in lieu of $150,000 bail.
The police have not released a motive yet, but young man's father knows just who to blame:
"He was caught up in social media. Social media has produced people like my son, without person-to-person contact," the father said. "I believe he was lacking in social skills."
Yeah darn that social media for causing people to set mosques on fire.
Somehow I doubt that will work as much of a defense.

Two men beat and urinate on homeless Hispanic man. "Trump was right" one of them tells police. Update!
Two brothers urinated on and beat a Hispanic homeless man who was sleeping near a train station and one of them said afterward that Donald Trump was right about deporting "all these illegals," police said.
The brothers, Scott Leader and Steve Leader, were held without bail Wednesday on charges including assault, indecent exposure and threatening to commit a crime. They pleaded not guilty.
A state police report filed in court says Scott Leader told troopers after his arrest, "Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported," The Boston Globe reported. Court records show Scott Leader served a year in prison for a hate crime against a Moroccan coffee shop worker after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, the Globe said.
Witnesses flagged down a state trooper at about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday after they saw two men use a metal pole to beat a man near an MBTA station and then walk away laughing, prosecutors said.
The victim, who was treated for a broken nose, serious bruises and other injuries, told police he awoke to find the two men urinating before they ripped off his sleeping bag and blankets and beat him.
Look, the "Trump effect" is already starting to spread.
In a few more months I imagine hate crimes against brown people will go up significantly.
I can't even begin to imagine how bad it would be if he were to actually get elected.
Update: Here was Trump's response to this attack:
Told of the attack, which also left the man soaked in urine, Mr. Trump said at a news conference late Wednesday that it was the first he had heard of it.
“It would be a shame,” Mr. Trump said, before adding: “I will say that people who are following me are very passionate. They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate.”
Yeah these guys are just are just passionate about making the country great again.
And with Mr. Trump leading them they will.
Even if they have to beat and piss on every Hispanic in the country.
