DOMESTIC TERRORISM IN THE USA


This is from the Washington Post......as an example of how the US Media would have written about recent US events if they happened in another country......Perhaps giving people on this site a glimpse into what it looks like to us foreigners.

"The international community is yet again sounding the alarm on ethnic violence in the United States under the new regime of President Trump. The latest flash point occurred this past weekend when the former Confederate stronghold of Charlottesville descended into chaos following rallies of white supremacist groups protesting the removal of statues celebrating leaders of the defeated Confederate states. The chaos turned deadly when Heather Heyer, a member of the white ethnic majority who attended the rally as a counterprotester, was killed when a man with neo-Nazi sympathies allegedly drove his car into a crowd.

Trump, a former reality television host, beauty pageant organizer and businessman, rose to political prominence by publicly questioning the citizenship of the United States’ first black president, Barack Obama. Since his election, Trump has targeted Muslims, refugees, Mexicans and the media. He has also advocated for police brutality. These tactics have appealed to and emboldened white ethno-nationalist groups and domestic terrorist organizations."

Every time he opens his mouth he gives the crazies permission to terrorise.
He tells police to be more brutal with those they arrest...then he and his supporters wonder why there's escalation of violence at protests etc. Not to mention their friends the Nazis... with guns, riot gear and lust for battle..

His crazy supporters seem to think he can do no wrong. I don't for a moment believe they would blame him for anything. Even if he shot someone in full view of hundreds of witnesses...even in front of their own eyes...they'd find a way to blame anybody but him! Of course he did say that, didn't he. Half the world heard it.

Every time he opens his mouth he gives the crazies permission to terrorise.
He tells police to be more brutal with those they arrest...then he and his supporters wonder why there's escalation at protests etc.
They take away human rights from the living and go to war over lumps of stone. Then wonder why honest, decent folks protest!!

These so-called "people" are so full of hatred they can't see straight...no point asking them to actually think !

It's mind-boggling how these people can continue to support this Dump Truck clown of a president,to the point of skewing reality to such extremes as to appear as madness to most of the World. We're watching a living example of how extremist regimes can happen......It's the first time it has happened on the World Wide Web........It's fascinating to watch, and this site is a microcosm of the phenomena.......I have listened to many Republican Christians who are denouncing the politicalization of Christianity....who are denouncing Evangelicals that feel emboldened by the support of the President, who gave them permission to preach politics from the pulpit.
I see the injection of fantasy-as-reality in political opinion and the acceptance of that as normal, creeping into the dialogue......It is very like the religious metaphors that are the necessary base of a faith in undetectable phenomena. But it's now creeping sideways into politics.......That is the danger in a society that sees faith as a virtue.........It must be a monumental task of compartmentalizing to keep faith contained in only one aspect of one's life......it is bound to bleed out into other aspects.

Mrs Joe said, in defence of the terrorist act in Charlottesville, she said it twice on this site, that if one of the anti-Fascist protesters had committed that terrorist act, they would be celebrating....just like the Fascists did..........That thinking is a revolutionary act of moral equivocating.....

Now Maisie posts a blog that is a fantasy scenario.....Posing a metaphor as if it is fact......using the same magical hocus pocus formula as the Evangelicals use as evidence for their otherwise completely fabricated abstractions.....
