That's like saying women who engage in casual sex and aren't ashamed of it are partly responsible for the existence and rise of Incels.

SJWs are no more responsible for the alt-Right than mean women are responsible for men who rape women. SJWs don't make you become alt-Right any more than a woman being rude, laughing at you or making rude comments to you makes you rape her. If you rape a woman, you already had some darkness and demons (and misogyny and/or entitlement and/or anger issues and a startling lack of empathy) in you to begin with. She can't MAKE you do horrible stuff, you were just never as good of a person as you thought you were. Likewise, people who join the alt-Right were people who were just never truly as decent of a person as you thought they were. They already had some preexisting bigoted beliefs or they had an inclination towards bigotry and authoritarianism. Just like part of getting over "Nice Guy Syndrome" is realizing you were never truly as "nice" as you believed you were, the first step to getting out of the alt-Right is realizing you probably had some latent shitty views about people outside of your "in-group" to begin with before you joined. SJWs didn't "make" you an authoritarian, homophobic, misogynistic white supremacist any more than a woman turning you down rudely "made" you force yourself on her.

You're acting as if alt-Right idiots were all good, upstanding people who honestly believed in fairness and equality before they saw one too many "SJW Cringe Compilation" videos. Alt-Right people don't exist in a vacuum before coming into contact with SJWs. Like most people, the alt-Right grew up hearing racist, sexist and homophobic shit either from their parents or society or both. They probably internalized it to some degree but weren't active about it. Then they saw some SJW videos and the bigoted stuff they grew up hearing finally gelled in their heads in a more active way. SJWs just triggered some nasty stuff that was already there underneath the surface, they didn't put bigotry into the alt-Right's heart. Similarly to how most "Niceguys" and "Incels" weren't legitimately innocuous people before they flip out and do misogynistic stuff. They were people who already had preexisting issues with women that were never adequately addressed and got worse because they had a few bad experiences and decided to go off the deep end. SJWs aren't responsible for the alt-Right any more than mean women are responsible for men who rape women.

To be honest, people who consider themselves on the Left like you sound like battered wives when it comes to your approach to the far-right. "We can't make them mad or they might turn to Trump, throw Nazi rallies and commit attacks and vote for Trump again!!" is not much different than "I can't make my boyfriend mad or he'll beat me up and put me in the hospital again!!" If the alt-Right can tell everyone else to stop being such sensitive snowflakes and mock different groups, they can suck it up and listen to hard, painful truths about themselves too. Shying away from telling them truths they may find hard to hear because they might vote for Trump again in response is like telling a woman to not go against her husband or boyfriend's wishes because he might hit her again.

That's like saying a woman being rude in turning a guy down for sex is partly at fault for him subsequently deciding to rape her in response.

If you became alt-Right because of those events you listed, you already had some demons to begin with. You already had some latent bigotry in you. Just like if you rape a woman because she was rude in turning you down, you already had some inner demons in you to begin with.
