Finally, the true grotesque underbelly of our Nation's racism shows itself

I knew there was rampant raging spit-slathering racism in the supremacist, skinhead, nazi movement but I didn't think it was just as bad in our Congress. The President of the United States, the person who represents us to the world is a fucking spittle slinging supremacist, skinhead, nazi.

And so are all of those who still support him even if by only doing or saying nothing.

My flag flies up-side down.

It's scary to go out in public. I can't help but look at people around me and wonder who sympathizes with nazi scum.

Even scarier is that others may look at me and think that this chubby, middle aged white woman with blue eyes is one of them.

I don't think we can say we've made much progress in our racist history now. I thought we had, but now...

I don't like to make comparisons but like the movie invasion of the body snatchers, Donald Sutherland was in it. what was it pod people and at the end he turned out to be one of them.

These Nazis and White Supremacists represent tens of millions of Americans. The GOP has been perfecting saying racist stuff in code for decades, now it is all coming to light. Let's deal with this stuff. Trump is taking their side publicly and making it clear who he stands with.

Republicans have been building this hate for two decades, this is their reckoning.
