"Why we voted for Donald Trump": David Duke explains the white supremacist Charlottesville protests https://www.vox.com/2017/8/12/16138358/charlottesville-protests-david-duke-kkk
I'm taking this two ways: 1 - I'm reading the this one way in that the condemning of the hate is about condemning those who want to quash the White Nationalist protesters. The coming together as one is about seeing how the protesters are the victims and they should be joined in protest, not opposed. 2 - The second way I'm reading that, and the second sentence specifically, is that "no kind of violence" means let us maintain the status quo of racist laws and other such normalicies that allow for POC to be subjugated by different segments of society...such as the aforementioned laws about people ramming into protest groups.
True. I just find my first reaction is to lampoon them, as I find their whole worldview is ridiculous. Considering the history, and what recently has happened. This is deadly serious.

How many black Americans got lynched in this country because they looked at a white woman with lust or whistled at them (maybe)...
Last night I wanted to make a "more people than a UVA spring game" joke, but even I couldn't do it for this.
He wanted a race war. This administration wants minorities to fight against each other. That's not happening.
Fascists and the alt-left have merged in their adulation of Assad and of genocidal totalitarianism generally. A Syrianized World 12-08-2017: Alongside the chants of ‘Blood and Soil’, ‘You Will Not Replace Us’, ‘White Lives Matter’ and ‘******** You ************s’, some of the privileged fascists rallying at Charlottesville, Virginia gave their opinions on the Syrian issue. “Support the Syrian Arab Army,” they said. “Fight the globalists. Assad did nothing wrong. Replacing Qaddafi was a ********ing mistake.” It’s worth noting that these talking points – support for Assad and the conspiracy theories which absolve him of blame for mass murder and ethnic cleansing, the Islamophobia which underpins these theories, the notion that ‘globalists’ staged the Arab Revolutions, and the idea that the Libyan revolution was entirely a foreign plot – are shared to some extent or other by most of what remains of the left. https://qunfuz.com/2017/08/12/a-syrianized-world/
More vehicles arriving to pick up white nationalist rallygoers. Plates from MI, TX, PA, IL, SC. pic.twitter.com/MqicamLUsy— Joe Heim (@JoeHeim) August 12, 2017 Don't shit where you sleep.
Charlottesville's a cool as hell small college city. Locals must be thinking "WTF we do to deserve this?"
Why are you surprised? They were going to the statue of Robert E Lee, a national symbol for White Nationalists. Further, this was not a locally organized event, this was a national event. I would not be surprised if the counter protesters were from multiple states as well (and not just the college kids).

Outsider question. Are you guys heading into a 2nd civil war? Confederate country? Just Anarchy? Or more of the same?
A White House official confirmed that Trump's language is supposed to both-sides this thing. My stomach is literally churning. And McCain's Stern Face isn't nearly enough. Trump is legitimizing shit that was passé when I became politically aware in the mid70s.
My best guess would be low grade political and racial violence. At least so long as Trump and Sessions keep acting like this.
Just ineffably sad today. I went to UVa. Those bozos are standing right where I and my friends congregated just before walking down the Lawn to receive our diplomas. I spent many an hour on those steps. I just wish these motherfvckers had bothered to show up when classes were in session. They'd have been run off with their tiki torches up their asses. Literally.
President Dickface no likey these questions: Pres. Trump ignores shouted question after remarks on Charlottesville: "Do you want the support of these white nationalist groups?" pic.twitter.com/qogS0RCM05— ABC News (@ABC) August 12, 2017
This response is nothing. He essentially talked about violence but left open to interpretation who he is talking about. Just to put it in perspective, the organizer of this despicable event is tweeting that Trump is talking about the COUNTER-PROTESTORS, and not his cabal of racists. Trump is not going to overtly call out HIS people. He is as disgusting as they come.
OK I take my tentative praise of the President back. As I suspected I would - Many sides? One side, Donald. Your side.
