This is the US; those losers have been in charge of at least a good chunk of that country for almost all of its history.

After looking at footage of it from a number of angles, it certainly looks deliberate. Rumours going around that licence plates were removed/replaced prior to the attack.Reporting one dead
Don't know who did it but that it is domestic terrorism if it was deliberate.
Exactly!

This is true, though that should never prevent anyone from saying that the way the US left has been fighting the US right for the past twenty years (and especially the past three or four) is rubbish, demonstrably ineffective and utterly counter-productive. I cannot think of any contemporary anti-fascism that is as sh*te as theirs is.
We are dealing with the here and now; Trump has stoked the flames, no question about it.

Edit awful, and the video makes it look very deliberate
Utterly incredible. That's a whole other level of messed up to ever think such a thing is a good thing to do.

No question, but whilst Trump was the one to stoke the flames he wasn't the one who went around piling up logs and pouring the petrol. His victory and the manner of it was the product of nearly thirty years of deliberate political targeting of ethnic groups, and of the failure of the US left to come up with any version of solidarity worthy of the name.
Lots of video and eyewitnesses so will become clearer what happened as day goes on but whatever the causes sadly it still has claimed at least one life.
I'd post the video mate, but it's quite horrific. I cannot see how it can be anything other than intentional.
Yeah it's absolutely disgusting. If it was intentional, then I don't know how someone could do such a thing. To just mow down a crowd of people...I've seen one and tbh wish I hadn't
Well that's just not true. You can find months-old footage on YouTube where right-wingers are armed with weapons and shields, ready to carry out violence. And I'm sure you know of the places where far-right types enthusiastically discuss doing such things to people on the Left, people of colour, LGBTQ and other minorities.
And if you're referring to violence on campus, then in those situations it wasn't ideal. It's not the violence we'ere seeing now though, and it's not even close to the levels of violence we'd see if these fascists got their way.
