Silver lining -- The roaches are out in the open
Some of them go under that flimsy lie called "Southern Heritage." Others wear uniforms, carry assault rifles and call themselves "militias." Still others carry Nazi flags and give a "Seig heil" salute to .. whoever. And then there are a bunch of other mindless people who think their white skin and their version of Jesus makes them superior.
In a way, the occupant of the White House has done us a favor. Institutionalized racism and/or fanatical "Christianity" have come out of the shadows. They've shown us who they are. They've chanted what they stand for. They've displayed their lack of decency and humanity.
This isn't the first moment in American history that these people have crawled out of their sewers and told us who and what they are. But perhaps it can be (one of) the last.
In previous eras when they took off their hoods, flew their flags and displayed their weapons to this degree, cable TV and the internet weren't there to put it all out there for everyone to see.
It will be interesting in the days, weeks, months and years ahead to see if this is truly a turning point. Will the vast majority of Americans turn against the racism, bigotry and hatred that is now out in the open?
Perhaps. We'll see.

It's different this time because of advanced technology like facial recognition & live cell phone video.
It's not a good time to want to repress, murder & maime others
