Many Republicans are insisting President Trump condemn the physical attacks by White racists groups on counter protestors in Charlottsville recently.
Senators Marco Rubio and Orrin Hatch stated he should clearly condemn the attacks for what they are, domestic terrorism by White Supremacists. But Trump isn’t buying all that noise.
POTUS is showing no interest in body slamming his base of support.
Why should he? If he’s thinking of a second term that base of support may decide the winner, he doesn’t want to alienate these voters. Whether you believe it or not there are millions of White voters who are paying close attention to the President statements. It’s more than a few hundred ‘unite the right racists’ he’s TRYING NOT to offend. No, they are not in the streets punching and kicking counter protestors, nor will they plow into a crowd of minorities gathered in full sight. They are all over America in wealthy hi-tech corporate jobs and low income semi-skilled wage earners.
Some are still rejoicing over the death of Heather Heyer and 19 more civil right activists injured when attacked by James Alex Fields Jr., 20 the Nationalist who used his vehicle as a weapon, seeking death and destruction on his tormentors. He showed up in court today charged with murder, after fleeing the ordeal.
Rep Tom Garret, R-Va was on Fox News admitting to meeting with one of the organizers of the rally saying he regretted the meeting. He then went on to say some of the counter protestors were agitators from outside the state. He makes it sound like all of the Nationalists were from Virginia.
The dynamics of the American landscape has gone from intimidation of African Americans in the 1800’s to pride and a great push for civil and human rights in the 20th century by White and African American activists.
But the relics of not-so-ancient history are making one last push to employ the politics of the old south in order to hold on to a fading power structure.
When Charlottesville agreed to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee from its terrain White racists from across America united in a show of force that would have made their ancestors proud.
They came from near and far in a ‘unite the right rally’ seeking to inflict pure pain on anyone showing up to counter protest in the land of Jefferson and Madison. Show up they did, but this time it wasn’t a march to Selma or a march on Birmingham by African Americans seeking to vote, integrate the schools or ride anywhere on a bus.
The complexion of America is changing rapidly
This time the South is rising for all Americans, including Muslims, Hispanics and African Americans. The minority is becoming the majority along with a deeper built in tan. This mindset of new immigrants are a little different when southern, central and eastern Europeans came in a rush during the late 19th century. They are not assimilating as quickly and Spanish is gaining more traction than many want to see. On top of that Islam is scaring the hell out of the racists. They see America as less Christian and White and feel they are becoming more irrelevant.
What the hate groups are saying ‘If you don’t like their message then you should get the hell out of their country or you will be silenced. This is the message of domestic terrorists, who help elect POTUS. They voted for Trump because he promised order would be restored and America would regain its greatness.
And POTUS didn’t let them down as he carefully sent out a tweet saying all groups were guilty in extremist violence and didn’t mention Neo-Nazis or the Klu Klux Klan, initially. After facing strong criticism from fellow Republicans, he added, including those two groups.
We got your meaning Mr. President.
