that are not only beating protesters almost to death, their gun nuts and cops are killing people with live rounds. This is so like the rise of the German Nazi Party of the early 1930s that it's scary. Maybe not that bad yet, but who knows. The republican clown car of Trump, Cruz, and the gang has turned into a Brown Shirt Bus Brigade stirring the pot of hate, racism, and violence. These demagogues are throwing fuel on the fires created by Fox News, Limbaugh, and all the other voices of their propaganda machine. No wonder the few republican leaders left with any common sense are worried. This shit is out of control.

(13,390 posts)The thing that worries me are many of the millennials. So many of them came of age over the last 7 yrs, when bigots suddenly felt justified and comfortable unleashing this hate that had been somewhat buried for a time.
The racist element of the republican party may mostly be a vocal minority, but I think you are right and there are many more than we have thought previously. What worries me is how many might have kids and\or grandkids.
The American History X scene, where the dad is implicitly indocrinating his kids, comes to mind.
