This country is a tangled-web. It is impossible to break it apart with destroying it entirely.
The hate in this country is deep, and goes far beyond race and ethnicity.
As people get older, they tend to want to move as far away from society as they can get. Surrounding themselves only with family and good friends. Just as it should be.
No, this isn't just as it should be. There are such things as civil societies and that was largely the creed Americans held dear. But no longer because a small % of the population decided to use their money to influence many other to act selfishly. In fact, there are vast think tanks in DC with the express purpose of influencing people toward selfishness (Cato, Heritage, etc.).
In the end most hate - especially here - is self-hate. If a person hates themselves, they will likely hate most everyone else except their "dear leader" who excuses their behavior.
But make no mistake about it. Trump loves violence. Anyone who tells cops to bang suspects heads harder is speaking to a certain base instinct...and the hate fester and grows.
There will be a LOT more death before this ends. This is what happens when people decide that they prefer chaos to civilization.
They use the term because they know it is fully approved by Bannon and therefore Trump. It is now elevated to a position of sitting in the White House. When Trump speaks of Mexicans being rapists and "something crazy" with Muslims and all the other "dog whistles", what he is saying is that it is OK for the violent white supremacists to come out of the corner.
I mean - breitbart is/was one of those sites - and now it's been invited into the White House Press Corps. Bannon makes no two ways about it - he is working toward the "saving" of the European white male class - meaning he is a white supremacist.
I just say a scary NRA commercial before a YT video that pretty much was telling NRA members that it's time to pull out their guns and kill lefties. The images were right out of Goebels playbook.
Note that the NRA will not say a word about the legal carry black dude shop by police. They will not protect or defend him. Despite having a diverse membership, the NRA is championing violence in the name of white people.
You got all that from a Youtube video? You need to shut off your device and go walk your parakeet.
Can you imagine if the driver of the car who murdered the female protester and seriously injured several others, had been a member of ISIS?
Wouldn't that have deserved stronger condemnation from the President a bit stronger than a vague statement about both "sides" being culpable?
This was an act of domestic terrorism, and the hateful white nationalist far right nationalists ARE at fault, not the anti-protesters.
A member of ISIS would've plowed innocent people not part of any protest, like they did in Europe. It would be right to denounce ISIS because ISIS targets civilians not engaged in any political struggle.
This was a clash between far left and far right extremist groups. Anti FA and BLM duking it out with the Alt-Right.
Is that's what happening in this thread...and in the larger political discussion?
I was wondering if these 'events' are just proxy wars--in the larger culture war.
As we sit avidly waiting for the next tidbit--watching the changing score
If this dumbass would have simply started his Presidency on Jan 20 by being a halfway reasonable person, if he had not started right with his inauguration speech to attack and divide us, he would not have had a fraction of the problems he is facing today.
The inauguration speech? What in the world? Nothing could have been less divisive then talking about looking out for Americans.

These were people engaging in a peaceful protest but keep reaching for that technicality that differentiates this alt-right terrorist from an Islamic terrorist.

Exactly, in that speech he was talking about all Americans regardless of race. These leftists hear what they want to hear because they're desperate for a Hitler. They're pathetic.
