Anniversary

Today is the first anniversary of the When I joined the Democratic Underground. To mark the occasion I want to talk about one of the most disturbing events involving the 45 administration ( Yes, I know there are a lot ).

That would be the march by the Alt-Right Movement, KKK, and Nazis in Charlottesville, Virginia on August 11th and 12th of 2017. I want to focus on August 12 when Heather Hyer was murdered by a supporter of these movements when this “individual” drove his car into a group of protesters, killing Ms. Hyer. The statements by 45 in the following days speak volumes about how much of a racist he is.

To say as he did “there are good people on both sides of this” creeped me out. It still does. This country has worked in one way or another tried to put an end to what the Nazi and White Supremacist groups stand for. World War II is a shining example of how the United States as part of a group of Allied Forces took down Adolf Hitler and his Nazis. The Federal Government to this day hunts down any White Supremacist that seeks to do harm to a minority. This is not to say that the battle over these people has been won. Far from it.

As we have seen these people have waited over the years holding their marches, like Charlottesville to keep people interested in their groups . Although I could never join one I support groups like Antifa, who stand against these White Power people, the KKK people, and these Alt-Right people. As for 45 who is supposed to stand as leadership of this country, my respect for him will always be a big fat ZERO. 45 has proven himself to be an insecure, overbearing, pushy fool with no respect or sensitivity to what really matters in his country.

This nation has wasted its time in electing an idiot like this to office. I consider the Federal Government to be Offline until we can elect that person that the Democratic National Committee nominates at the next convention in 2020. Only then can we work to fix what the idiot in office has messed up.
