The power of these folks is defined by the depth of their (hateful) feelings, the utility of these feelings as catalysts for MSM profits and (long term) the ultimate use of these feelings to serve the interests of the 0.001%.
It has always been thus.
The Trump effect.
Christians? Got anything more than 'thoughts and prayers? ’
Death?
After the Dec. 2 mass shooting in San Bernardino by a Muslim husband and wife suspected of having become radicalized, Muslim Americans and mosques throughout the country have been targeted with threats and violence.
ISIS leaders must be delighted with these idiots – what better way to help radicalize American Muslims than to set fire to Mosques and Muslim-owned businesses, and to attack and threaten the lives of Muslim-Americans who have done absolutely nothing wrong. Between the brownshirts in the streets and the demagogues on the debate stage, ISIS has a whole volunteer propaganda army helping them, and all for free.

That was the plan…brought to you by FOX.

That list is just too depressing. I could not finish it.
A reasonable person would think that our presidential candidates would be sensible enough not to instigate these kinds of actions. Seems we have pretty much all low intelligence hate instigating candidates running their mouths and causing problems when they should be trying to calm their constituents. Seems all the republican candidates are guilty of promoting hate and racial tension, H. Wallstreet Clinton lies and can’t be trusted which only leaves Senator Sanders to be elected to the White House. The only sensible, honest one actually working for all Americans, not just the billionaires.
Of course Big Door, Carnival, Uncle Ben and Fox Not the News had NOTHING to do with it. NOTHING!!
What come around goes around.
With Trump and other Republicans (1 of 2 major political parties in the US) pedaling bigotry and Islamaphobia, we (Americans) should fully expect the same treatment when travelling abroad and etc…
Trump is a big mouthed coward! He dodged the draft during the Vietnam era, he talks gun rights while prohibiting guns in his properties, casinos, golf courses, and campaign events.
One thing is clear with Trump - he’s big f****** liar!
dam readin this get me all tingly about jesus and his followers love of their fellow man…snark off
sticks and stones fire bombs and threats of violence makes their jesus all giddy durin christmas
And, lest we forget, they’re enjoying – yes, enjoying themselves and feel morally justified in doing what they do.
In WW1, numbers of US-born Germans Americanized their names to avoid attacks and harassment.Schmidt became Smith etc.
No religious discrimination. No racial discrimination. No use of excessive force by police.
We live in a damn paradise. Why are so many Republicans going for the “make America great again” message?
While MALE Christian privilege…
Hate crime against any minority (or majority) could be considered as terrorism.
A lot of anti Italian, German and Japanese crap before and during WW2 also. My dad who was born in '32 and grew up in upstate NY said he always heard “white” adults refer to other folks by their nation origin if they were non-English.
An additional disturbing element is that many of these violent acts seem to be perpetrated against Muslim women who are openly visible because they wear a hijab. Angry white men (and women) seem to find them an easier more vulnerable target so a lot of this rage is misogynistically taken out on them. Seriously what level of privilege do you have to think you can just randomly go up to strangers and slap them, spit on them etc. Truly a sick phase this country is going through. And don’t get me started on those poor Sikh’s (who similar to the hijab wearing women) are mistakenly assaulted.
