Not according to any clinically valid method of determination.
None.
And you are supporting the violence by choosing to talk about anything else before definitively objecting to it. The best you come up with is generically disagreeing with it, then definitively and specifically attack your target of choice.
Being on the same side, that makes you a passive enabler. If you were to declare that you'd rather vote Republican than see your fellow Americans perpetrate violence to promote a Democrat or just to object to an administrationthen you are very much with them.
I for one would gladly support a democrat or liberal if the alternative is violence. I would gladly Ghandi-up to my ideological opposite if the only thing we had in common was the virtue of civility if I felt that most like-minded to me did not value it. There is a time for violence, but my political views do not determine what that time will be.

They're not even doing that. They could stick to the facts, but they don't. They're lying to you about what he says.

^ Of course he never said that, but it makes for a great headline when you want to fool people into hating Trump.
Media Out To Destroy Trump? Study Finds 91 Percent Of News Coverage Is Negative
"Even when they were critical of Hillary Clinton for concealing her pneumonia, for example, or mischaracterizing the FBI investigation of her e-mail server network reporters always maintained a respectful tone in their coverage," read the study. "This was not the case with Trump, who was slammed as embodying 'the politics of fear,' or a 'dangerous' and 'vulgar' 'misogynistic bully' who had insulted vast swaths of the American electorate."

Remember that the people who call him 'unhinged' support rioting, intimidation and violence as a means of political discourse.
Yeah, the corporate oligarchy obviously does as they're the primary cause of it. The media has tremendous power to sway opinions and actions, especially over those who aren't informed enough to know any better."All great truths begin as blasphemies."

I studied this to some extent, Wikipedia has a good primer about it and could be a very useful insight into why, given the influence of media conglomerates, we can never allow a popular vote in a modern democracyever.

It's like the movie Shallow Hal. People on the right don't recognize or even comprehend reality. They just create an alternate one in their low capacity minds. I'm sure when you watched that rambling, unhinged press conference, you thought you were watching the Gettysburg Address.

He sucks at press conferences - so what. Every single low IQ fairy on the left actually thinks that his conversations with the democratic party propaganda agents defines his performance as president. These are the same people who gave him a 0 percent chance to win the nomination let alone the election.

He did - Hillary basically throwing the election by not doing any rallies in key swing states and picking a gawdawful VP, hillary breaking the law and being generally unlikable, hillary's smug supporters being violent and generally moronic, barry and michelle's non stop race and gender baiting, the economy slowly grinding to a halt and US racking up obscene amounts of debt, and the fake news pissing off millions and practically begging them to vote republican.
