ReplyDeletePeople of color who have been spiritually mutilated and alienated by North American whites for four centuries seem to have not sunk to this depth. Not that they would get out alive. I observe the many "right" commentators who warned about violence from the "left" should they triumph in November. The contrast between the women's march in Jan 2017 and yesterday's event is quite telling. If despair leads to some of my sisters and brothers waking up to reality, then some good will come of this.

DeleteLet's tally the carnage. 21 Jan 2017, the first protest against Mr Trump, 470k people and no violence, no arrests. 4 years later, several hundred presidential supporters with a definitive lack of people of color, and a scale of violence that resulted in the president walking back from his major initiative. If you are referencing 2018, I think the scale of the violence this week was dialed up from "unlawful assembly." I do realize conservatives have a tough time owning up to the violence they project on the non-Right.
