Can someone explain the issue here? Were conservatives unaware that political donations are public records or something?

This is a good reason why they shouldn’t be. A powerful politician using public information to possibly incite violence against his political opponents should give everyone pause. It sure would if Trump did it.

Conservatives probably didn’t realize that powerful politicians would use the information to possibly incite violence against them. Live and learn. It is Texas, so they’re probably armed, which should even the odds a little.

From article: "Their contributions are fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as ‘invaders.’”

Can these people try to be more precise with their language. An important word is missing: illegal. If caravans of people are coming to cross the border illegally then by definition they are invaders. A synonym for invader is intruder. Is that okay to say? If someone enters Castro’s home illegally is he okay calling the person an invader or intruder?

Are conservatives just so used to their own side committing political violence at this point that they assume everyone else does too?

It’s totally okay as long as you’re comfortable being known for eliminationist sentiments.

I have no idea what your point is. And you didn’t quote the part about if someone entered Castro’s house illegally what he would call them.

so are property records which can be used to find where someone lives. It does not make it right to tweet it out to the world. It is a scumbag thing to find that information then tweet it out for all to see because you disagree with that person for some reason. the sole purpose of doing so is to get others to harass these people.

There seems to be a bit of irony here. Castro believes Trump is encouraging violence, so he doxxes Trumps donors which does encourage violence.

You OK with doxxing?
 
Information about political donors isn’t doxxing, it’s public by law.

This is an example of how frighteningly normalised domestic terrorism has become. Jovially forseeing armed killings as normal defense. It’s staggering.
