letter I published today in local papers..my alderperson said I put the stink right out there

REALLY


There was a press conference September 9th in downtown D.C. The venue was changed, then cancelled, then at the last minute reporters were told to look for a man with a brown tie and gray suit. They were led to a windowless ballroom where the leading lowlifes of the Alt Right Movement assembled for the purpose of letting us know they are white power racists. Televised and tickled to be getting so much attention in this election, Jared Taylor said, "We reject with the utmost enthusiasm that the races are equal and interchangeable. East Asians have an IQ of 102-103. Whites - 100. Hispanics- too hard to determine. Blacks -85. Now, the evidence is absolutely overwhelming that there is a substantial genetic contribution to these differences, whether we like it or not".

The reason these guys were out clarifying matters to reporters in a DC ballroom was that they feel they can come out of the woods a bit. For the first time in their racist lives, they are getting the mainstream support they've always craved. This is their time in mainstream politics. They've finally got a champion. Richard Spencer said, "Certainly we have been riding Trump's coattails. There's more interest in us because we're pro Trump and we're inspired by him. This is what a leader looks like."

Trump is their candidate. When these guys come out of their hidey holes to brag they've got a real leader in Trump and are emboldened by how well he is doing, they just want an all white homeland. Is that too much to ask?

It matters that one side of American politics is pulling a drag bar through the sewer tanks of what used to get flushed out of politics. Trump's CEO Steve Bannon is the go-to Alt Right guy. Don Jr. has been posting Alt Right memes and going on Alt Right radio shows. What they are front- paging is repugnant.

I went to the Amber Grill for the last outdoor gig of the summer. I tacked a picture of Trump with duct tape over his mouth "HOW TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" to the bodice of my silk Grace Kelly dress. Four staff members said "We wanted you to know how much we enjoy your outfits." Six people asked to take my picture and post it. Lots of thumbs up and smiles. Then a stout lady came up to me and said "Really?" Later on she made sure to bump into me with another comment. I never said a word. I figured my shirt spoke for me. Now, I'd like to say "Align yourself with white supremacists, terrorists and dictators- deplorables. Yeah Lady, Really."
