White supremacists and counter protesters clash in Charlottesville

Our Constitution is still in tact sure, but the only way it stays that way is if those who understand his toxic rhetoric in politics raise their voices as much as possible. 

The orange moron is going out of his way to attack freedom of speech, though.  Especially freedom of press.  And he's been completely supportive of people using violence against protesters as long as he's the one being protested.  Not to mention, he seems to be on board with repealing any laws regulating police violence.  Yeah, this is dangerous.  I'm kinda wondering if we're right now in the beginning of a new American civil war?  If the left starts arming themselves the way the right is, I could easily see it happening.

Agreed. He has convinced the far right that he is simply "talking tough", and unfortunately even the middle on the right have fallen for it. 

I seriously hope not. 45 is not worth a civil war. I am hoping he jumps a shark so bad that not even the GOP can ignore it. Or, at a minimum, his polling stays so low that he loses in 2020. Never in my life of paying attention to politics have I seen such a toxic politician. 

Romney didn't talk like that, McCain did not talk like that, neither Bush Jr or Sr or Reagan ran such vile campaigns like 45 has. We have not seen this level of toxic political rhetoric since the 1960s.

1. Towns can remove statues if they want. Personally I don't see why they had statues of losers in the first place.

2. It's easily foreseeable that people who support what those statues stand for will protest.

3. Dignifying their protest with a counter-protest is playing right into their hand.

It would be awesome if we could simply treat those assholes like some nutcase on a street corner shouting that their dog gave them the gift of prophecy, but the problem is they feel empowered now and no, considering their growing lack of shame and growing public displays they should not be ignored. 

Otherwise what happened to Heather this weekend will lead to more of this.
