I can just imagine the protest signs with images of a raised fist - covered in white flour!

(47,535 posts)I saw a documentary about Jewish resistance fighters. Really good show. If I can find what it was called, I'll come back and post it.
Anyway, the main talker of the two who were still alive at the time of the documentary says that after it was all over and the main nazi was in custody, the nazi was crying and saying to him, "You can do whatever you want to me, but please don't hurt my family!"
And the resistance fighter replied, "What do you think we are? Nazis?"
That's the kind of thing that sticks with me.
There IS a difference between us and the nazis. We ARE better than they are.

(8,318 posts)The crowd of fake tough guys was afraid to show up when they could not have their AR and AK manhood with them. The protest crowd got pretty small when they could not intimidate through firepower. No spears, no clubs, no guns and no guts when it became a battle of the view of America, the brain dead morons did not show. Hate and bigotry is not an idea that wins nationally.

(4,865 posts)... also seeing some clips of folks on our side being very menacing and threatening in the same manner as the Nazis.
I think we are much more effective when the protest is massive, peaceful and clever. Moar tubas, less hateful shouting.
