    Are there more of these events happening now?

    They're as "out of the woodwork" as they've ever been. They're just getting help in promoting their events and their message from the national media, who then blame Trump.

    Nope. Neo-nazis and white supremacists have been emboldened because the Trump administration and its resident white nationalists curried and gladly accepted their support. The racists and bigots among us have been far more vocal and public and they need to be stomped out. I would hope as an American you would understand this but your stupid political ideology clouds your judgement, I guess.

    Anyway, I'm going up to Connecticut for a day of boating. If I see neo-Nazis on Candlewood Lake I plan to ram them. See you later.

    This shit is funny. The Houston Chronicle has a story about a protest regarding a local confederate monument.

    And, obviously, everyone is very concerned about the newly embolden neo-Nazis.

    Who are some of the concerned folks, who Chron finds to comment?

    Oh, just he local socialists, New Black Panthers, and Brown Berets de TejAztlan.

    "This is the biggest moment of protest in the last couple of decades and it doesn't seem like that's going to stop," said Brian Harrison, of Houston Socialist Alternative. "People have been drawn out in the streets to fight against hatred and bigotry."
    ...
    "Even people that were dormant or lying under a rock are starting to come out and give their opinion," said Antonio Gonzales, with the Houston chapter of the Brown Berets de TejAztlan.
    ...
    "It's going to work both ways," said Johnathon Gasper of the People's New Black Panther Party. "You'll have people that'll come out and people that'll shy away because it's starting to get real."


    You can't make this shit up.

    Instead of putting these various hate groups and separatist organizations in the same category, the Chron goes to one separatist organization to comment on the other, and offers no commentary on the groups they are seeking comment from.

    Speaking of political ideologies, read this, cran. It's smart.

    "In these tribal times, the impulse to support anyone who shares your enemies is powerful. But it is a morally stunted reflex. This is America. You’re free to denounce totalitarians wherever you find them — even if they might hate the right people."

    ‘Antifa’ radicals aren’t good because they fight Nazis

    Donald Trump obstinately refused to unequivocally denounce a white supremacist rally that ended with the murder by vehicle of a 32-year-old woman. It was a miracle that more weren't killed.

    He's a fucking incompetent douchebag who shouldn't be town dog catcher.

    I don't have any interest in talking about partisan politics anymore. The President is a cartoon character. That's what I care about.

    Because he didn't believe it to be a white supremacist rally.

    So, instead, he denounced, in the strongest terms, the white supremacists at that rally.

    Now, we've been through this. I believe that if you showed up at a rally, and saw that it was dominated by white supremacists, you'd leave. I thing Trump was wrong here, but his actions and words offered no support for white supremacists.

    Suck it up, you pussy cops. That fairy soccer player Landon Donovan got the same shit thrown at him every time he played a home game in the Coliseum or Rose Bowl against Mexico, and he never complained.

    You should care that the Democrats are aligning themselves with these people ...



    ... and in doing so are making it much, much easier for Trump to not only survive his repeated missteps but prosper for years.
