I denounce racism too! I also denounce tepid, vague, basically meaningless denunciations. But I do love a good attack ad.
By the way I’m reading that while Trump and his goddamn Twitter feed have gone a disgustingly long way toward normalizing and encouraging these slimy freaks, there’s some question about whether their numbers are any larger than you’d expect for a fringe group of dateless wonders and maladjusted people with father issues or what have you. Their obnoxious and threatening online presence exaggerates the impact they have. Hope it’s true. Because if neo-Naziism becomes any more of a thing I’m outta here and on up to Canada, no two ways abuh-oot it.
I will take great pleasure from the creases on their faces as they begin to realize “holy shit. we elected a fucking idiot, self absorbed idiot. He doesn’t give a shit about anyone but himself. He’d run me over with his car and not even stop to see if I’m okay. What did we do?”
Please! PLEASE LET ME BE AROUND TO SEE THIS!!! If there is a such thing as God, and karma this will happen.
Trump’s campaign rhetoric served as a barrel of gasoline on the mountain of smoldering embers of racism … and Islamophobia … and anti-Semitism … and misogyny … and homophobia that are still prevalent in American society.
and that is what he took his racist team… and really is that just a “stock” picture or is Don going to keep wearing his stupid hats to keep his wig in place?
This exhibit of giddy white people exuberance occurred at the Ronald Reagan International Trade Center, a buiding owned by the General Services Administration, and managed for us all by Trade Center Management Associates, a subsidiary of The Drew Company in Boston. They also held a similar event at this very same federal government building in late February, 2016. Andrew Giambrone, Washington City Paper
And all this crap is happening BEFORE the Great Orange Oaf takes the steering wheel of power. Once he gets to drive the car it’s going to be very, very ugly indeed.
‘Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.’
Except that this time, we have a President-elect who’s Gish Galloping all over the place, and Bannon and his alt-right ties are just one among a fast-growing list.
And we have a right-wing media machine that has monetized outrage, and effectively lobotomized their audience.
And the rest of us are faced with trying to figure out how the hell to hold back the tide.
