I want you to follow this link to Adam L Silverman's article at Balloon Juice. Silverman has been pointing out for YEARS the escalation of white supremacist terrorism in the United States and to him we are at the official point of all-out civil war.
It’s that simple. You’re either on the side of the Statue of Liberty or the side of the tiki torch neo-NAZIs and white supremacists. There is no Both Siding this. There is no “if my favorite candidate isn’t the nominee, I’m not voting because I won’t compromise my ideals and ideological purity”. Refusing to pick a torch, is refusing to take a stand. It is putting yourself and whatever your pet issue or issues are over promoting the general welfare and providing for the common defense. None of your high minded, ideologically pure agenda is going to ever get enacted if you don’t stand with those standing with Lady Liberty against the nationalist conservatives, the white supremacists, neo-nationalists, neo-fascists, and neo-NAZIs. Failing to pick a torch moves us one step closer to a white Christian herrenvolkI have been screaming "For the Love of GOD stop voting Republican" for years. Now you see why. I saw this end result, same as Silverman and thousands like us. All this rage and hatred the Far Right was stirring up for decades was going to lead to bloodshed. Well, now we're here.democracydictatorship in the US where everyone who isn’t white and Christian has their rights challenged, limited, and/or taken away.
Stand up for the children shoved into cages. Stand up for the families getting shot by terrorists dreaming of their "Turner Diaries" Whites-Only Utopia. Stand up for yourself, because you aren't safe from ANY of this, even if you're White Hetero Male. Sooner or later, these haters will come for you, because they can't stop themselves. Their hate can never be sated.
We've seen this before. It's happening again.
Stand up, dammit. The entire nation depends on it.
