People do need to understand that it's possible to hold an acceptable political view against immigration without it being seen as support and encouragement for shooting people

The rate of hate crimes and incidents of this nature has spiked since 2016. The rhetoric that Trump often spouts is dangerous because people will listen and use his words for justification. Leaders need to speak carefully and Trump just says whatever comes to mind.
The spike in right wing terrorism incidents has everything to do with the political climate and the toxicity coming from the top.
