Seeing the Nazi-esque Torch Light March Parade in Virginia last night

I'd just like to say to every Republican office holder and every American who votes Republican: YOU OWN THIS SICK CREATION!

Since Ronald Reagan in 1980, the GOP has played on middle and lower class whites with a message of "Us v. Them", minorities are the reason your lot on life sucks, and whites are being oppressed. Sadly, ignorant citizens have fallen for this, as the upper 1 %, laughs at their stupidity and screws them economically.

So as the "Republican Frankenstein" grows in it's vileness, DO NOT ACT SHOCKED OR SURPRISED: THIS IS ALL ON YOU!

They need to put Trump on record, he either supports it or he condemns it. Time the media stop shying away from stopping these Republicans from owning their shameful behaviors.

What do they care about besides ratings?

If we're talking about individuals within the media, they might care deeply about many things, but...

If we're talking about corporations, they are not humans and don't care about anything. Those who CONTROL the corporations are only concerned with profits.

Racism isn't a party-based problem; assuming it is lets a lot of people who need to do some work on themselves off the hook.

associating "Nazi fascism" with liberalism and the Democratic Party when anyone wants to oppose hate speech and racist/white supremacist ideology, an undercurrent also found in the inner circle of the Trump White House.

"Jeffrey Lord, Trump Defender on CNN, Is Fired for Using Nazi Slogan" is NOT a coincidence.
