Trump’s remarks were a firehose of gasoline gushed onto a political firestorm. Almost giddy with the easy political points to score, Democrats rhetorically lashed Trump to the Klansmen and Nazis he defended.  Nearly the entire Republican leadership took to Twitter to denounce bigotry, even Senator Orrin Hatch, who had earlier said Trump was “not a racist,” after Trump attacked federal judge Gonzalo P. Curiel’s fairness because of his Mexican heritage, tweeted, “We should never hesitate to call out hate. Whenever and wherever we see it."--TMK

This is a nuanced view of where we stand.

The hypocrisy of the economic elites who support the status quo and then cry racism is staggering. There are many neo-fascists in Congress who are paying lip-service to Charlottesville.

They're not as obvious as Trump about their hate, but it's real. The US is teeming with racist autocrats in high places.  The US is a fascist state.  Its top pols are the reason, not the cure, for why fascism is spreading.  I'm speaking of both American parties, which is one party guided by wealth and heap big nonsense beginning with the lie that America is a democracy.  Fuck that.  The US is a police state. Its exceptionalism is a mirage.  

Look how the pols initially fell in line behind Trump, who ran a racist campaign. If they didn't support him, they'd have moved to oust him by now.  Sadly, they are as corrupt as he is.

Here's another cat who can spell it out better than I can.

The so-called "resistance" is a joke being perpetuated by neoliberal outfits like the HuffPost, etc., who simply long for the return of the "dismal-dollar Democrats."
