The United States is experiencing a steady rise in hate crimes going into the 2020 presidential election, according to a new report on extremism and violence in the U.S.
Surprising no one
The “overwhelming majority” of extremist domestic homicides in 2018 were committed “by white nationalist/far right sole assailants who attacked around the mid-term elections,” per the report.
This is fine.
So much for the post racial society…
I’m waiting to hear all the whining to start up from the ratwing and the GOP.
They will just call it fake news
They always do and then engage in fierce “whataboutism.”
Trump.
I blame O’Bummer.
Most divisive president.
Also in “Dog bites man” news:
Hate crimes will continue to rise in the coming year.
The “overwhelming majority” of extremist domestic homicides in 2018 were committed “by white nationalist/far right sole assailants who attacked around the mid-term elections,” per the report.
“The overwhelming majority of declining extremist domestic homicides in 2018 were by white nationalist/far right sole assailants who attacked around the mid-term elections,” the report reads.
Huh?
As long as the White House keeps supplying new pages of script, the actors are going to keep playing their parts.
Well said, General.
He is probably aiming for a most racial society.
“The rise is occurring amid a broader decrease in crime and homicide rates, with white nationalists and far-right extremists continuing to be the “most ascendant” group behind violent extremism, the report found.”
So there’s been a decline in crime in most the places that Trump and his acolytes mock but his base is responsible for the rise in violent extremism. Tell me again why he deflects.
I don’t get that either. Some of their phraseology seems confusing.
Incredible coincidence that the uptick in hate crimes by white nationalists in the US corresponds with the election of a white nationalist President who routinely engages in vile, racist diatribes. Who could have guessed?
TPM, Please copyedit, thks
Maybe not?
Trump loves being #1
Well, Trump now has an actual accomplishment about which he can brag to his base. I am sure they will eat it up.
The only question is whether the rest of it can survive all of the hate Trump is generating.
