Words from Brenay Brock. Blowing up on Scary Mommy right now. RE: Charlottesville

The Right is looking at the results of their hate mongering today in Charlottesville while gasping in disbelief.

"We didn't cause this! This isn't what we wanted!" they all exclaim.

When you fought to control women through reproductive abuse, you caused this.

When you fought to instill your brand of religious terrorism as law, you caused this.

When you denied well researched and scientifically proven facts, you caused this.

When you stayed silent in the face of continued illegal redlining, you caused this.

When you denied the facts showing a wage gap exists, you caused this.

When you allowed a hoodie to be a sign of guilt and a reason to enact deadly force, you caused this.

When you elected officials who enacted egregious legislation that laid the bulk of the country's taxes on the poor and middle class while ceding numerous tax breaks to the wealthy, you caused this.

When you said All Lives Matter, you caused this.

When you denied or repealed laws for safe, sane gun safety, you caused this.

When you fought to keep people in love from marrying each other, you caused this.

When you looked the other way as the NFL signed wife beaters and dog fighters yet left a peaceful protester in the cold, you caused this.

When you myopically focused only on emails that were proven time and again to be a nonissue, you caused this.

When you put on that red hat, you caused this.

When you chanted "lock her up," you caused this.

When you decided grabbing pussies was a presidential act, you caused this.

When you laughed as a man called for interference in our election process, you caused this.

When you ignored the disabled and the families of those who died for your rights being mocked, you caused this.

When you decided "anyone but her" was guiding you in the voting booth, you caused this.

When you canonized a man who has nothing but bankruptcies, broken marriages, and failing resorts to his name because he's white and has a penis, you caused this.

When you vilified a public servant who's worked for nearly three decades for people in need, you caused this.

When you voted for a man who is in no way qualified to lead a sing-a-long, much less a country, you caused this.

You caused this when you put party over country and this DOES represent you. This represents every dirty, nasty, self-centered thing about you.

When the historians look back on this era in America, they will not look on you kindly. You will be seen for the villains you are, rather than the victims you see yourself to be.
THIS is who you are.

But the deplorables will never own this. And it isn't getting any better I am sad to say.
