Maddow tonight opening segment on disgusting white supremacy was powerful.


Covered all the recent right wing groups and individuals killing and trying to kill people in US

Went back to Okla. City and back further to armed robbery of Brinks' truck in CA and kidnapping of children at school to fund taking over US.


She highlights two key points that are different:

1. Practical point. These guys were unmasked. Their faces were lit by tiki torches. There was a camera there for every person - so many faces on social media. Says will become ongoing wild card for movement. People who showed up there will forever be identifiable as being at that rally. Even those "flirting" with alt-right - will tagged for life as a white supremacist. Will affect their ability to get a job and be part of society.

2. Political point. These guys think they have champion in WH. The alt-right looks lovingly on Trump. What does it mean for this group?

I was going to say "intelligence", but come on.

They are out there in the open because they are banking on tRump being in power for a long time. They are banking on tRump leaving a line of succession that is every bit as Nazi loving as he is. How can they be so sure of this when his approval rating is horrible? The only thing I can think of is that they listen to and believe their Nazi media. This may just be one instance when Fox and Infowars has some value. Let their RWNJ media lull them into complacency so that they reveal their identities.
