(73,537 posts)Charlottesville should have been more of a wake-up call than it was. These types are not limited to the skinheads driving 1983 trucks with confederate rags. They aren't all the loners described after violent outbursts as "a quiet man who kept to himself." They can be found at various stratifications in society -- some wear uniforms, and a few are in the White House.
In the late summer, an associate told me that the Southern Poverty Law Center and various law enforcement agencies were aware that numerous groups were not "merely" stockpiling guns these days. They had stockpiles of explosives. He believes that Trump's rants are attempts to encourage these groups to "act" if the Congress and/or Mr. Mueller pose too much a threat to his presidency. I've been thinking about what he said, as we approach the November elections.
