http://eureka.news/free-parking-55/A Southern racist assassinated two black people in a grocery store who were shopping. Eleven Jewish people were slaughtered by a neo-Nazi at a synagogue during a celebration for the birth of a child. Pipe bombs were mailed to 14 people by a red MAGA hat wearing white man who hoped to kill those that Donald Trump declared his enemies.
All those domestic terrorist acts happened within days after Trump loosened a wave of murderous hate speech and proudly declared himself a nationalist. Klansmen and Nazis all over our country cheered. At long last, someone had brought their hatred to the forefront of our collective consciousness.
These violent events are not random or isolated. Since the 2016 election results, there has been a spike in violence, especially gun violence. A recent study reports that 47,220 gun related incidents occurred this year as of October 27. 11,984 people were murdered while another 22,000 people used a gun to commit suicide.
Contrary to common wisdom, radicalized gun violence is rarely perpetrated by either Muslims or left-leaning liberals in America. According to Gun Violence Archive, an independent data-collection and research group, an astounding 92 percent of all radical ideological gun violence in this country is perpetrated by white, right wing, fascist, extremist men.

This information needs to be hammered home. The fear-mongering and hate-mongering distracts from facing up to the real terrorists among us.

Sometimes I think this is just a cathratic exercise for me. I'm happy to know that my words are appreciated and have meaning.

(33,430 posts)3. oh yes! informative posts!
The kicker in that article is about the Mercers. I've been wondering where some of the background billionaires have been working in this global assault. It's not just Putin's oligarchs who want to make a world where (money = power) and liberal, democratic governments are hamstrung.

And that's why they make excuse after excuse - they don't want to believe their killing machines are to blame.
