And commies.
I'll just say that I went to the VA this morning for an appointment and to see Trump's picture where Obama's was is highly satisfying. I actually laughed when I saw it. Don't care if you're for or against, let me revel in the feeling..
I hate Nazi's. There are black and brown people in my family.
That said, I think we are in more danger from the leftist, communist, anarchist types.

Especially the Illinois Nazis.
We need more nursery rhymes. "Mother Goose" showed the way.

There will be more...
More torchlight parades
More clashes
More cars driven into crowds of people
There will be bombings
There will be Fury and Fire
It will become necessary to impose a police state.
By pure serendipity, we have a "law and order" president and an Attorney General with a police state mentality.
How fortunate we are.

Let's not forget the nationwide stop and frisk that's been proposed
No worries, that's only for people of color.
"Let's be clear here. What's happening in the United States right now did not appear from the outside, and it did not appear suddenly. It was not precipitated by extremists of color. It is not inspired by a dedication to the losing side of a 156-year-old war. It is the culmination of decades of quietly learned sentiment given catalyst by the election of a President who appears sympathetic.
There is no mystery about where this came from. It came from Main Street. It's in grandmothers who moved out of town into the suburbs because too many brown people moved into their neighborhood. It's in the mothers telling their children to avoid parts of town simply because it's the non-white part. It's in jokes about black people being better athletes. It's in the jokes my coworker makes about Mexicans working harder than white boys. It's in the people on Facebook and news websites who comment things like "Why can't people just be nice?" during coverage of a protest over the shooting of an unarmed person by a government worker (police). For several decades, comfort has been the major motivation of racism. "Don't go into that part of town. Don't make friends with that new family down the street. Don't talk about ugly things when you could focus on nice things. It makes me uncomfortable to talk about that police shooting and the petition to change the street named after a KKK leader in the 1920s. Can't we talk about something else?
Now all those kids raised in comfortable racism have reached puberty, have gotten angry, and have found an outlet for what their parents gently taught them, both by word and example. All they've done is taken the peaceful racism of the prior generation into the streets with youthful vigor and put it into practice. Economy is bad, school is expensive, being culturally aware requires behavior change, all of that combined leads to stress, leads to shame, leads to anger. What to do? People who are angry lash out. They blame. Who do they blame? Well, the President of the United States himself says the immigrants, the Muslims, the black activists, and very specifically, our previous black President, the first black President ever, have caused all our problems. He's the President. Doesn't he have authority? Isn't what he says important? Shouldn't he know things? Presidents know things. Our parents know things. What the President is insinuating and what our parents insinuated for years suddenly fit together. Surely that means it's true.
What do you do if you are angry, have an enemy to blame, and interpret support from the highest office of power in the nation? You step from a previously silent, underground, online movement into a public, loud, physical one. So they did, and it horrified the people who did not predict this, did not know it was happening behind the scenes for decades. Others were quite aware something like this was coming.
And their parents, you'll notice, who both knowingly and unknowingly taught them which groups are Other, are Enemy, are still sitting behind their computers asking why everyone can't just be nice." (Melissa Miller)
