You are behind the times, "Islam is the religion of peace and anyone who objects to millions of them taking over western countries is evil" is the party line and it is enforced by law.
That's the GOP party line?
The President's?
John Bolton's?
Presidential Besty Netanyahu's?
Trump has done nothing to encourage racism, his nationalism is definitely non-racial.
I give exactly zero (0) shits whether Trump himself is a racist; I've said before that I expect he isn't. The point here is how his behavior is perceived by the public. The WN or WN-esque people who hear Trump's comments aren't making subtle distinctions between race and culture, for instance, as you're wont to do. I simply don't believe that you can't appreciate how comments along the lines of "Mexicans are rapists" would inflame anti-Maxican racism, for example. You can't possibly be that stupid.
Nope, I have never said we should make anything about race, cultural nationalism is required to prevent racial nationalism.
Despite the distinctions you like to draw, they are practically the same thing.
Cage Mexicans because they're racially inferior, cage Mexicans because they're culturally inferior...
....especially when you define culture in such a way that it's basically unchangeable (like race).
The NZ guy expressed support for communism and many other leftist causes and this guy is claimed to have expressed support for him.
Did he or did he not express support for white nationalism?
They are leftists by any estimation.
...as if that means they can't be nationalists, lol.
Nationalism is of the left, both in the sense that its core policies (e.g. restricting immigration) violate individual rights, and in the sense that nationalists don't usually limit themselves to just those violations of individual rights; they frequently support the welfare state, for instance. As you may or may not recall, the historical example par excellence of nationalism was a party with the word socialist in its name. The nationalist movement today in the US and Europe is decidedly anti-capitalist. You might be a libertarian-but-for-teh-wall, but most of your fellow nationalists are more like Democrats-but-for-foreigners-r-bad.
Exactly, and I count Buttgieg as one also. Statements like his border on slander.

True statements can't be slander.
When asked if he believes Trump is a white nationalist, Buttigieg said the president “at best condones and encourages white nationalism.
“It’s flourished under his watch,” he said. “This isn’t an accident.”
The first two statemenrs are true (you just agreed that they're true, no?).
The third one I take to mean that Trump's inflaming of WN actually inflamed this particular guy who did the shooting.
That may or may not be true, but it's a reasonable guess.
I don't see buttplug saying "Trump is guilty of murder."
