(9,019 posts)I don't think white supremacy is ever going away, but now we have a "president" who IS ENCOURAGING IT!
Shameful, but they have no shame.

(28,799 posts)actually atheist, and i say this breaks my heart. i don't know my country. it's run by what i try to characterize without hyperbole and yet keep coming back to evil.
and it's all so unnecessary. the hate, the division, the greed.

(90,714 posts)...because at least shit serves a useful function in the regenerative cycle of life. Nazis and their brethren only know about death.
to call trump a piece of shit is still dignifying him more than he deserves. i'll buy that.

(1,306 posts)So, a Jew, a Christian, a Catholic, and an athiest read about a synagogue...
OK, no joke here. This is horrific.
Like the original piece says, this is 2017 America?
i thought we should be further along by now, toward peace and equality. but i was wrong. i have to believe or at least consent within myself to hope that humanity will get better. evolve.

(19,201 posts)".....that rotten Jew, married to that beautiful christian woman. That's disgusting."
From the 'Vice' News coverage of the "nice" people's goose stepped march around Charlottesville. And Trump apparently doesn't mind those "nice" people talking about his son-in-law that way? Great family man, that Donald Trump.

(28,799 posts)if you haven't seen the HBO news piece yet, watch it. In it, one of the nazis expresses his contempt for trump for "letting his daughter marry a jew"
they are that bad.

(6,905 posts)Kelly, McMaster, and the WH aides who anonymously denounced Trump's revised pro-Nazi pro-KKK stance, need to stop enabling him.
Their oaths to uphold the law and the Constitution must mean nothing to them, we know it means nothing to the psychopath in chief.

(28,799 posts)my dad fought in WWII, but all the clippings we have after he was belatedly identified as having survived Pearl Harbor have to do with fighting "the Japs" (apologies for the slur). I suppose because he didn't get to Europe, or because it was earlier in the US's involvement with the war. I don't know.
i'm glad he survived because i would never have been born otherwise. of course, it was a World War, so i guess that explains it.
i second your emotion, i will fight Nazism and all forms of bigotry to the end of my days.

(9,426 posts)This is disgusting, in this day and age, to be happening in this country. Everyone should be free to worship as they choose. We have a nazi sympathizer in the WH, maybe more than one. These despicable groups are making the USA a very scary place. I lost all respect for Kelly. He must agree with this dictator since he keeps working for him.

(14,576 posts)Speaking for myself, I'm going to speak out everywhere possible, and I'm going to oppose these horrible people every step of the way. They can't march down our streets with their filthy brown shirts and swastikas and white supremacy flags without being challenged every single step of the way. They cannot forward their hate-filled, hate-based policies into our public arena because we will all challenge this every time it happens and fight it every step of the way. And what is their hate-based policy platform. Easy, just look at Trump and the radical libertarians disguised as Republicans. Oppose EVERYTHING they want and we can keep our country free. Allow them any inroads and they will take everything from us.
My dad fought them in the second world war, and we all need to fight them again, now, in 2017.

(63,221 posts)Thank god nothing happened, but the people in that temple had no way of knowing how things were going to turn out. How dare these sick fucks terrorize people like that!
These are not "decent people" they are straight up Nazis and they should be thrown in jail for this kind of armed intimidation. We need a zero tolerance policy for this kind of bullshit. One of these days, these hate-filled bastards ARE going to act with violent force and people are going to die.
I really believe that this is what Trump, Bannon, Gorka, Miller, etc. want to happen in this country. The only way to show these Nazis that they won't be tolerated is to show them that the white supremicists in power won't be tolerated.

(7,686 posts)a very old Jewish man told me a few decades ago. It concerned a Jewish temple in Rio de Janeiro which was being repeatedly vandalized. The temple elders decided to run shotgun every night and one night they captured the perpetrators. Among those elders was a surgeon, who castrated the vandals. End of vandalizing.

(515 posts)It is not an opinion that deserves respect or speech that deserves protection. It is an extremist ideology of genocide and murder. It has no place in civilized society. It must be repulsed and driven out. These followers must be given no opportunity to achieve even the remotest credibility or respectability.

(2,143 posts)According to wikipedia, Sheldon Gary Adelson "...was the largest donor to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign with a total of $25 million... owns the Israeli daily newspaper Israel Hayom... and his father's family was of Ukrainian and Lithuanian Jewish ancestry."
Has he responded to 45's comments? If so I haven't seen or heard them. I'm wondering what he's thinking about his boy now.
