The U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Virginia announced Friday that three white supremacists have been sentenced to between two and three years in prison after helping start a riot at the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville in 2017.
Michael Miselis, a Northrop Grumman systems engineer by day and White Nationalist on the weekends. Sort of lays to rest that it’s only the poorly educated economically worried that is a Trumper.
The thing is, though, they’re going to prison where they will be welcomed as heroes and martyrs by the alt-right gangs. And where they will network. This is how a cancer metastasizes.
That hateful ideology has been relentlessly promoted by Trump, so it’s an easy step to Trump has incited acts of violence in Charlottesville, as well at other purported political rallies.
just like that jerk who makes the ‘dilbert’ cartoons and the guy who lost his tech job when he complained that he couldn’t point out the gender inferiority of women at work - economic anxiety my aunt fanny
What I do not understand is that these rite to unite idiots are anti- Semitic and we know what his by their chant, “Jews will not replace us”. So how on earth can lying Don get away with denouncing the SQUAD? The news reporters should challenge him on that very fact!
There is a big Western Civilization bigotry among white academics. Many are vocal Islamophobes. That puts them in spittin’ distance of white supremacists.

Omar wears a hajib and those cheering crowds who greeted her in Minnesota weren’t really from her district since they were really from Dubuque, Iowa, and that Somali immigrants are so despised in Minnesota that they are burning them at the stake in International Falls and Dems have to choose between standing up for religious and civil rights or losing the election because, you know, “economically-anxious white people” aren’t racist but are really only worried about their health care and jobs and rising living expenses and are so pure in their amity towards other races they vote against their own self interests by opting for Trump and the Republicans who want to eliminate their health care and destroy their wages and increase their taxes because David Koch’s wife wants a solid gold bidet because they want to be as saint-like as The Lord His Own Self and that…
Anywho, just one more thing (and something that pisses me off to no end when it is posted): the next time someone wants to post that story about how “brave” Saint John McCain was when he told that crazy Teabagger lady that Barack Obama didn’t eat white Christian babies with mustard on them, as some way of showing the contrast between McCain and Trump, please read this diary from Daily Kos. Just because Meghan’s dad’s (BTW, did you know that Senator John McCain was the father of Meghan McCain on “The View”? I mean, she hardly ever mentions it so it might be a surprise to a few people.) racism was broadcast with a dog whistle instead of a megaphone doesn’t make him any more heroic, and he backtracked for his base just like Fat Ass did:
