You know what bothers me about this thread?
How much too many people are so pissed off and annoyed about how bad this makes their own politcal views look in the media.
The facts:
A white supremacist murdered a bunch of people, including a little kid.
There is a radical racism storm brewing and sticking our heads in the collective dirt does nobody any fucking good.
There are elements of our political and media class that are contributing to this madness and every person that pretends it doesn’t exist or plays it down to protect their own fragile feelings is fucking up.
For fuck’s sake, if you don’t want the shitty liberal agenda to win, then start fielding strong anti-racist conservative candidates. Push out the weak fucking links that dog whistle to the racist assholes.
It’s so fucking easy. Reagan did it, GHW Bush did it, GW Bush did it but this Republican party has been compromised to the point where regular citizens would rather fucking pearl clutch their own issues while literally handing the socialists the keys to electoral victory.
Most people are fucking stupid and will do what they’re told by an authority figure accepted by their peers even when part of them suspects that everything about it is completely wrong.
The radical right is propping up the radical left and the rational middle is getting screwed.
The central language should be, to hell with this son of a bitch and let’s put together a national taskforce to police radical racist terrorists and lone wolf killers.
Air it from now to sunset every day and stick to that message the entire time. That’s how conservatives win.
But that’s not what’s happening because the white house and GOP leadership would rather name the Old Navy brigade that is ANTIFA a terrorist group rather than the fucking KKK and the avowed fucking Neo Nazi groups which everybody with a half a brain already hates and has hated since the 30s. Not for national security reasons, but to distract the fucking public for the actual problem of home grown radical racist terrorists.
When the fuck did the GOP become completely fucking retarded?
