Discussion: White Nationalists Involved In Bloody Calif. Rally Will Be At GOP Convention

I know I’m bad, but I’m actually looking forward to the white nationalist racist American exceptionalism on full display–with fireworks–at the GOP Convention. Fox won’t be able to spin that–though they will try.

Actually, I’ll bet that the GOP convention is a bust; a dull and lifeless affair, with long periods of tedium and mumbling punctuated by an occasional raving lunatic. I’m more worried about the Democratic convention. A lot of, but not all, far left groups have the nasty habit of political “suicide bombing” [1] because “principles”!!

[1] Strictly metaphorically (I hope)

It will be perfectly safe to travel to Cincinnati. Just avoid Cleveland on your way! :wink:

“make sure that the Donald Trump supporters are defended from the leftist thugs.”…there are days I wish we DID have ‘thugs’ so these morons were punching at shadows and innocent people getting in the way. I’m not so naïve as to believe we don’t have some fighters and the rise of frustration in the party is concerning. The police better be out there in numbers. It’s going to be an ugly summer.

White supremacists are always self-refuting.

Members of a prominent white nationalist group have pledged to provide some unsolicited protection to supporters of Donald Trump at next month’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.

Gosh, I hope no protesters show up. Someone could get hurt!

Absolutedly. The Donald just hates to be ignore. Bad ratings will do more harm. Clashes will just help.

And vote. Make sure you are registered. Make sure you get your absentee ballot. And make sure you send it in.

As a parent of three young voting age adults, I’m making it my personal mission to drag them, literally if I have to, to the voting booth.

Or stick around just to block anyone else from fixing it.

My best guessestimate would be time immemorial. And any international soccer match as proof.

I’d like to say it’s their inner Krishna, but that’s giving these guys too much credit. (I like Krishna.) So maybe it’s the fact that even white nationalists are secretly revolted by their “ideal.”

I wonder which of the myriad groups volunteering to hold events will be first to scuffle with another.

In a perfect world? Deprived of attention, the participants would go home and find something better to do.

In our world, they go home and find something worse to do in order to get that attention.

My preferred solution is what TPM is doing. Point out again and again and again who these people are and how much Trump encourages them until even the most head-in-the-sand, reflexive Republican has to decide if these are people they really want to stand with and every lefty understands the stakes of sleeping in on Election Day.

I’m sure that photo of that white supremacist a-hole will be shown over and over again and their numbers will be multiplied exponentially, sort of how Fox News and the right wingers did with those two New Black Panther guys standing outside of a polling place. I couldn’t believe how shook up O’Reilly and Hannity and the others got over those two sad sack black panther wannabees. It’s all right for the right wing to suppress minority voting but not for minorities to try and have a presence in a neighborhood.
My advice is to leave the white supremacist to their own devices. They will self destruct. The Republican Party is paying for it’s sins now. All these clowns that they cultivated in order to get votes are coming out of the woodwork now and all the people that the right wing alienated over the decades are looking for payback. The worst way to collect on that payback is to engage them in a violent fashion. That’s what they’re hoping for.
