Normalising the worst kind of hate..



There is literally a nazi in the White House. There were literally dozens of nazi's in the WH yesterday.



At what point are 'normal' conservatives going to stand up against this complete and utter horror? Memo to them and all the rest of these fuckers who are normalising hate...

this wasn't a summit, it was an awards banquet to thank the slimiest of the slime balls and to gin them up for 2020.

Clear signal to the trolls that the 2020 putsch is on.

We can't be "polite" about this. We can't shrink away from using an unpleasant label for them, for fear of being called kookie or extreme. We don't have large gangs of Nazis falling drunk out of bars and roaming the streets to beat up people -- yet. So far, I've been patient waiting for the next election. But when Trump fired all the climate scientists, I became really frightened.

at this time. More people will be pulled aside for their beliefs and race. It's beginning kiddie prisons and children being held, now he wants to raid certain cities.

Brings me to that quote. "Then they came for me"

They were apoplectic about FDR’s New Deal and subsequent actions and rulings that addressed institutional racism and economic inequality.

They know he is a half bright fool but pliable. He is a means to an end.

This push back was sped up by the election and re-election of a black, multiracial man to the White House. The Ruling Class wasn’t having that.

Two books that dig into all this are “Dark Money” by Jane Mayer and “Democracy In Chains” by Nancy MacLean.
