I love the vandalism done to the photo yet these assholes remain an important warning sign of what may be going wrong in Amerika. Many people don’t know the whole story on how Germany went from being a nice, open, welcoming society and pretty democratic country after WWI and then the center of the Nazi Shit Show by the Thirties. (I know a bit more than average and I readily admit, I don’t know the whole story or its super gritty details.) It’s thanks to the Weimar Republic being complacent and writing off Hitler to be just a crank while ignoring all his Right-Wing/Conservative enablers in power and in the Media. Many of those Conservatives lived (and died) to regret helping those thugs come to power but their arrogance matched the Country Club/Corporate Republicans who thought they could manipulate the Teabaggers-cum-MAGAts.
They never learn. Girth Vader was the warning they’re ignoring since Senator Jowls of Kentucky, Senator Magic Underpants of Utah and Senator Oh-the-Vapors of South Carolina think they can still rein in this crazy mob. Little do they know, there’s a more competent Fascist dictator biding his time Florida, aka Redneck Dagobah. He’ll climb out from under his rock in 2024.
Anyway, these Patriot Front, Proud Boys, Y’all Qeda, etc. marches are another symptom of things taking a bad turn. Especially when the Fuzz does a better job protecting them while they beat the crap out of peaceful protestors. The ugly truth is that these goons aren’t out for a calm march, they’re looking for a fight as per their matching clothes, weapons and how they’re hiding their faces. It’s our job as good citizens to expose them. Find out who they really are and shame them. Many of those creeps from Charlottesville rightfully lost their livelihoods. Hitting them in the pocketbook might be the best weapon we have.
