It was liberalism that gave us a President Donald Trump — perhaps, inadvertently.
It was political correctness that gave us a bigoted Donald Trump for President.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction — Newton.
In the same way that President Barack Obama was the personification and manifestation of centuries of hopes and dreams of an oppressed people — Donald Trump is the expression of centuries of seething hate that some have learned to have for people.
It was dissatisfaction born from a political correction that gave us Donald Trump.
To stifle expression and deny white supremacists a voice at the table or shut down the speech of anyone else who is saying something different or contrary to what the majority is expressing is tyranny, and it will only lead to mass disturbance.
As long as they (protesters) don’t incite violence and acts of illegality — free expression should reign.
It was Martin Luther King that said: Riots/protests/revolution is the voice of the unheard — when he referenced the struggles of African-Americans and their fight for civil rights.
Bigotry must be confronted, but there is a right and wrong way to face and fight with prejudice. Missing from the equation of this effort for correction is a reasonable dialogue.
The misnomers that are called Neo-Nazis by some is just that, a mischaracterization of evil. There’s nothing new about these Nazis — they are the same warmed-over hate-filled sect, except they’re more dangerous today.
It is important to know they don’t live or exist in a vacuum. Bob Marley’s Song WAR
During the presidential campaign, It was a mistake for liberals to ignore this demographic and pretend that they don’t exist.
Hillary Clinton even made the mistake of calling them (Trump supporters) “a basket of deplorable” and granted many of them are; a basket of deplorable, but they’re real, and they need a voice of expression. And so, candidate Trump became their megaphone, as is now President Trump — their megaphone.
Donald Trump being aware of the vastness of this great multitude of white supremacists, himself being one of them was able to tap into and speak to their grievances and thus was propelled to the highest office in the land — fueled by their seething hate for former President Barack Obama and what they believed he represents.
Today, liberals and media, it would appear hasn’t learned anything from the election of Trump to the presidency.
President Trump’s Nazis
These supporters of Trump aren’t a figment of the imagination, they’re real, they’re violent, and they’re bent on destruction. They are an enemy within. And they aren’t numbered in the six thousand range as some talking heads on television are insinuating.
They number in the tens of millions, and they are armed to the teeth. America has the most heavily armed civilian population on the face of the planet earth, with 3 percent of the population owning more than 70 percent of the nation’s 275 million guns.
Three percent of 323.2 million Americans or 9.7 million Americans own most of the guns and among them are those billed as super owners (mostly Trump supporters), which on average possess between 10 and 150 guns each — many of them military grade weapons.
The “good” Nazis that President Trump praised and are his core supporters. They are not all uneducated. You have the Mitchell McConnells, the Paul Ryans, the Chris Christie and Newt Gingriches and the myriad of military Generals that he’s surrounded himself with and serve as his backbone.
And granted some of these staffers and or Generals are there just for the fame and money, but they are sworn constitutional officers, and so it begs the question: For a few dollars more, what will they do or not do?
There aren’t any good Nazis, but there many “good” people in America, and one might venture to say more good than bad; to think otherwise would assume the position that most people that one interacts with are evil and ought to do you harm.
As broad a statement as that is – it is not to dismiss the fact that there are some bad actors out there.
And sad to say, the President of the United States is one, and to that end, many of our citizens feel that impeachment and removal from office, will be the saving grace for the nation.
During his campaign for the presidency, Trump used his free megaphone (afforded to him by the media) to appeal to the lowest and most base instinct(s) to a herd of people.
A subsection of America that is extremely susceptible to dog whistle and circus barkers that will incite them to act upon the violent part of their emotion or nature — a feeling that all souls possess but most keep subdued and under control.
This part of our nature tends to become heightened when we feel “oppressed,” whether real or imagined.
The Neo-Nazis that showed at the Charlottesville to protest came decked out with military grade weapons and ammo that is usually displayed by the US armed forces.
Knowing their proclivity to violence, law enforcement officers in that city flinched, blinked and cowered down to protect themselves; which is somewhat understandable because at the end of the day everybody wants to go home to their family. Still, such a high calling or profession is not the place for cowards to occupy.
When African-Americans and their supporters protest and some amongst them display sticks and stones, the heavy-handedness of law enforcement is brought to bear in the form of snipers on roof tops, tanks in the streets to crush them, militiamen and the National Guards.
But in the face of super-armed white nationalists, law enforcers went hiding.
Consequently, a young woman — Heather Heyer — lost her life to the violence that was allowed to go unchecked, as she stood boldly in the face of evil, armed with nothing but her conscience.
Still, in the name of safety, folk must be careful when confronting bigotry.
To stifle Nazi and not dialogue will eventually cause the pot to boil over with such fury that America will forever be changed and Vladimir Putin and other enemies of the United States and its Peoples will, at last, declare victory over the west and more specifically over the United States of America.
If we can talk to the Russians, Chinese, Iranians and North Koreans — can we not have a discourse with citizens of our own country? Even though they appear as rancid, discolored and displeasing to civility.
Tonino Cervi: Today for me, tomorrow for you.
Several TV hosts and talking heads are overly elated that the Nazis freedom of expression has been curtailed.
What they failed to realize is that this is how it starts: today they shut down the Nazis, but tomorrow when your points of view differ from theirs, then they’ll shut you down as well.
If you don’t like Donald Trump, then don’t invite him over to your house for dinner. But don’t try to prevent him from eating.
A 17th-century proverbial saying: A hungry man is an angry man.
Therefore, when this colostomy bag of 21st-century Nazis explodes everyone will be touched and become affected by the waste matter — so driving them underground does not cure the disease that is there slowly killing the body.
The children of bigots don’t die, they, like most others multiply.
An excellent example, for those who believe that shutting down the voice of opposing points of view will make it disappear – they need to look at President Trump.
His father was a Nazi. President Trump’s bigotry lay dormant for years, but it did not die, as is evident today in his pronouncements and actions.
