A friend of a friend of mine wrote the following:
"And here we have it. The 'Alt Left' (The American version of the Winderstand in Germany -- Germans who opposed the Nazis and Hitler) is as responsible for the violence which took place in Charlottesville as the Nazis and white supremacists.
What we are witnessing is a lunatic authoritarian paving the way for the rise of a Nazi Party in this country by characterizing those who oppose and confront Nazis and white supremacists as violent troublemakers who bear responsibility for the violence that occurs when opposition and confrontation take place.
This is very dangerous. Very dangerous. If Trump carries the day with this argument, if he and his supporters are allowed to pervert history and paint opposition to Nazism and Fascism as being of the same character AS Nazism and Fascism, our country is lost.
If he insists on this tactic, he should carefully read about the Winderstand, and the lengths those Germans went to in trying to rid their country of the Nazi scourge."

Thankfully, Mosley's time came and went.

(6,974 posts)That we're able to vote in 2020.
We may not be able to vote in 2018.
Hell, even if we vote en mass, our votes may NOT even count due to GOP-lead voter-suppression and help from the ruSSians.
Democrats are powerless, and I'm not hearing from ENOUGH of them right now. thuglicans want tRumputin in there so that they can destroy this country even though he is a fascist Nazi, and people aren't voting in general.
God, this country is royally screwed with that fat, fascist, nazi installed in the White House with help from putin.
