I predicted this. They feel legitimized. It started yesterday in public schools.
God help us.
Tuesday was our Kristallnacht. (spell?)
What did anyone expect? He normalized being a bigoted creep.
I do realize this is a result of our horrid election but I do wonder if now all of a sudden the garbage media is underlining every single incident even more creating a narrative. I do wonder if things like this that I am sure happened before were not just simply ignored.
Every memory of a United States (that is one country) is going to disappear more and more as the days go on. Mental visions of being on teams, bands, groups of army buddies, etc. will seem like Camelot to those fortunate enough to have had experiences across the white/non-white divide. There will be an increasingly unequal two AmericasâŚTrumpâs America and the remaining others (who will be allowed to live).
Untrained people have little notion of how fast a country with a history of racial conflict can go this way. From what I can seeâand from I have gleaned from the gallow-humour meisters on this site, the Press will be of little or no use in exercising any type of journalistic analysis on this phenomenon and its relationship to Trump.
That is really all we have.
Without a Fourth Estate (which Trump will take away, eventually), the United States is a rabble of self-criticizing, contentious and directionless drones. Journalism was the tool which made the Civil Rights advances (which the GOP and the Trump SCOTUS will take away) possible.
Lack of journalism will aid in this reality TV huckster taking them away faster than you can say âdictatorâ
Saw statistics that such incidents are up 70% - I donât think it is just a case of more attention to these vile events. It is particularly alarming that these attacks are happening at universities which should be the center of open-mindedness.
The Trump Effectâ˘
Coming this fall to a Sociology textbook near you!
Asked for a response, Chiselinâ Trump blared, âHey, I won!â
Spelled correctly. I was going to snark that comparisons between Trump and Hitler are unflattering to Hitler, but it is sinking in to my thick skull that we underestimate Trump at our peril.
An election like this, which was aided by their descent into providing entertainment rather than quality vetting, had better serve to refocus their attention to their responsibilities.
Torching the Reichstag. It is all part of the Law and Order plan. The more redlining, the sooner it can be accomplished. The Big Lie has arrived.
Again, I would go back and re-read William Brusteinâs classic, The Logic of Evil. Everyday Germans bought into the economic arguments put forward by the National Socialists, a fact overlooked today in most discussions of the Nazi rise to power.
This, kids, is why you need to study hard and do your homework.
What he said.

The Post Trump Stress Disorder
It is very real.
Our nation is mourning as if a beloved President died in office.
Trumpâs unleashed the native beast among us and it is raging across the land.
How long until there is a mob scene in Trumpâs name? and some poor innocent victim is hurt seriously, or worse?
I blame Rush⌠AND THE REST OF RIGHT WING MEDIAâŚ
No other entity can shoulder the whole blame for this, and anyone who points fingers anywhere else is distracting us from the path to resolution, and is probably one of them.
Trumpâs lower voters arenât smart enough or aware enough to formulate even a hate model, EVERYTHING they do is a response to some sort of right wing stimulus offered them by assbunkles like Limbaugh.
Blame the guilty. It might help fix this.
One point worth considering⌠there is a profound false equivalency underway, in that the grief we all share now is weighed against the elation of others who seem to think they had lost something, when in reality, they had lost their minds to brainwashing.
The crybaby whining spoiled child character they all portrayed before Trumpâs surprise win was suffering nothing more than bad attitudes and bitter personal disappointments that came almost exclusively at the hands of the trickle-down greedmasters who created the rust belt.
It is not the same thing.
Their selfish grief was born from brainwashing, someone told them over and over again that something was WRONG with America. They hated without a real cause.
Our grief is real. And they are the reason for it.
University of Oklahoma President David Boren in a statement said the student has been temporarily suspended as the school investigates further.
âIt would appear this matter did not originate at the University of Oklahoma, but started elsewhere,â Boren said in a statement.
Yes, it originated at Trump University.
Purely and simply because MR Trump wants all non-whites out of the US .
Remember when the idea behind university was to find unity in our diversity?
As a white guy growing up in small town Iowa, going to a university college was one of the best things that ever happened to me.
College life must be different todayâŚ
All the snark here is wasted ink.
Every hour that man gets closer to the Oval Office represents less time decent people have left. I have, more or less, come to peace with the fact that when this fascist assumes power he will have in place mechanisms which will
- Hide his many weaknesses
- Consolidate his power at all levels
- Eliminate any Fourth Estate scrutiny by implementing looser libel laws
- Continue to dumb-down the population
- Use racial division for his purposes
- Make the Republican Party his
- Devastate the environment
- Wreck the international security balances
- Enrich his thuggish family and close associates
And so many more that only my grief stops me from using another 500 words to list them. Perhaps the most horrible one will be when he will put a faux ârabbit out of the hatâ for the sheeple and, one-by-one, the Americans will grow to love what it seems that all Americans need:
A white father-figure to worship
Post ScriptâŚthe trolls have come out. No need to call namesâŚbut responding to them wastes a lot of time which should be spent in dealing with Trump and his mission of enrichment (for him) and destruction of this country
one incident where a âdrumpfâ supporter was beaten upâŚand you ignore all the other incidents that happenedâŚ
the rioting? surprised that its majority white riotingâŚ
nice try, but you kids hold the patent on racism/white supremacy, misogyny, homophobia and xenophobiaâŚ
thanx for playing!!!
