White supremacists and counter protesters clash in Charlottesville

[Brian37]

Evil prospers when good folk do nothing.

I agree, anyone claiming standing up to 45 is a danger to free speech is ignoring the lessons of WW2 Germany, that is what happens when good people say nothing.

Everyone knows I am hardly PC here, and will even go after my fellow liberals, but what the GOP and 45 have set up goes way beyond mere bluntness and blasphemy and criticism or ridicule. When politicians employ scapegoating and demagoguery you are not talking at that point about merely offending someone.

America and the world for that matter need to stand up to political demagoguery. What you saw this weekend was the empowerment of one man and his ego.
