Right wingers on here have found a "life-line" in excusing the orange clown's statements that there is an alt-Left and that these folks (antifa) are just as bad as the Nazis, white supremacists and KKK members......................and its all BULLSHIT.
Most of us do not condone violence but acknowledge that it exists and sometimes even necessary; heck, we were a bit violent ourselves when we chose to fight Nazism in WWII, were we not?
The issue is the IDEOLOGY of one group versus the other.....and ALL of us need to come to terms with the fact that if you "think" that the ideology of racists is just as worthwhile as those AGAINST racism, then you have better defined yourself.
Trump is undoubtedly a closeted-racist based on his lifelong record of business dealings with minority groups, and certainly we cannot simply shrug off how racist groups seem to have a close affinity for Trump's views and statements. .
There are far too many posts for me to read and evaluate before responding to the OP. This is my view:
I care deeply about my culture, heritage, history and destiny. Race plays a role in that. Having said that, the neo - nazi solutions and approach that the MSM hones in on places a bad light on those people who care about the issues, but do not endorse nor support the solutions the nazis have.
Antifa is guiding the masses despite the attempts to say it's bullshit. If not for Antifa forces, there would have been no controversy to report. And the politicians are lining up because they are saying the same thing everyone else is: You either support Antifa or the racists.
You cannot force me to join either side and both sides are going to swear and be damned that I belong to the other side. The reality is, I don't.
As of today, most of the white racialist type websites have been shut down. I discovered that doing research for one of these threads because until Friday night on tv, I'd never seen nor heard from any of the leadership from either side. Even after hearing them, neither represent people I'd want to break bread with.
There is more to American culture, heritage, history, and destiny than the confrontational approach by people who have no interest in our Constitutional Republic.
