This last weekend,

This last weekend, Nazis marched in Newnan, Georgia.
Nazis.
Proud. Unashamed. Out in the open. Unafraid to show their faces.
When Nazis aren't afraid to walk down the streets of America, and black Americans are, well you'd better wake up and hear the fucking alarm.

This is Trump's America. It sure the hell isn't ours.

ever since election night. Only those willfully deaf didn't hear it then and refuse to hear it now. The Trump Administration is enabling the worst elements of the country to beat their chests and give their Nazi salutes. The Trumpster is trying his best to divide us all.

We can't allow that. This is our country. And together, we will reclaim it.

First step? November. Then onward.

2 space aliens looking down on earth.
I see the dominant life form has developed space weapons.
Does this mean they are an emerging intelligence?
I don't think so. They have them aimed at themselves.

There were a few who faced consequences. We thought they were going away again. Now they are back with militarized police protecting them. We can't even protest without being tormented by the police! (And I still haven't heard about any blow back from the use of those militarized cops.)

Trump "emboldened" the Nazis

America fought a war against the Nazis and supposedly won.

Yet here they are marching to "take back America".

" Michael Von Kotch, a Pennsylvania resident who called himself a Nazi, said the rally made him "proud to be white."

He said that he's long held white supremacist views and that Trump's election has "emboldened" him and the members of his own Nazi group. "
