Yes, Virginia... the Alt-Right are indeed a bunch of fucktards

Where?

Yeah that's why I'm holding off on posting anything.

I've seen a lot of what people who looked up the owner of the car and the person driving it. The person is clearly a leftist anti-Trump young person but at the same time there is conflicting information on exactly who was driving.

I'm thinking your information is more up to date than what I found.

Three are now dead.

ETA: Two were not directly related to the car attack. They were cops in a police helicopter that crashed.

There's a person arrested who's got the same name and is the same age as the guy the car is registered to.

Yeah it was probably him.

bet your ass those are not all Southerners and as a percentage hardly any locals (Charlottesville is a pretty liberal place in the context of the region)

This shit is anything but a southerners only problem. Look at an election map - see a red state? You'll find a lot of these assholes in that state.

Police Helicopter crashed too killing two officers. It's not known if anyone in the protest had anything to do with the crash or there was a mechanical problem on the helicopter.

So three dead so far. One by car. Two by crashing in a helicopter.

Free speech has to do with official acts of the government and in that regard this seems to have been handled properly.

It sure as fuck does not protect these assholes from suffering any consequence of their assholery from the rest of us.

like a lot of other states, depends on where in the state you are. For example, Illinois is a reliably blue state but everything south of Springfield is basically Indiana/Kansas/Mississippi even

Two from a helicopter crash that's somehow connected to the protests, apparently?

oh do fuck completely and entirely off with that bullshit.

The so-called "antifa" have fuck all to do with what happened in Charlottesville and your citing them is precisely the same sort of duck dodge and bullshit that legitimizes these GOD DAMNED NAZIS - YOU SHOULD BE TOO FUCKING HUMILIATED TO SHOW YOUR FACE ANYWHERE FOR A MONTH EVER HAVING WRITTEN THAT BULLSHIT.

Second, the Lee statue, and EVERY OTHER fucking hunk of stone designed to HONOR people who literally shed blood in the defense of slavery ought to be in tiny pieces of gravel by the end of the week. There is a very good argument for preserving history and learning from it, but what we are supposed to learn is that IT'S A FUCKING BAD THING TO OWN PEOPLE AND A GOD DAMNED REPREHENSIBLE THING TO KILL OTHER PEOPLE TO PROTECT THAT PRIVILEGE.

We do not need monuments communicating the notion these people were honorable or fought for an honorable cause.
THEY.
WERE.
FUCKING.
TRAITORS.

And they fought for an immoral cause. Fuck 'em. Fuck their god-damned statues and fuck anyone who thinks they should be honored.

Connected in the sense that it was in the area monitoring things. Why it crashed isn't known at this point.

what the fuck is "blood and soil" if not identity politics hero?

how any future Republican office holders do we suppose are in this pic?

Yeah we really didn't need you to quote my post to just to do "See above/"

You already post too much in a row.

SJW.

Well, no.

Trump is NOT like Bush/Bush/Reagan/Ford/even Nixon.

Not even a little bit.

One can stand fore-square against EVERY GOP policy and position and very easily say "at least these guys hate Nazis too"

Trump is something else.

trump has never been shy about denouncing people he disapproves of - hell he has denounced his own attorney general more forcefully than he's ever denounced Nazis, KKK, white supremecists or fascists. Indeed - he's appointed at least three of those fuckers to his inner circle of closest advisors.

Bashing Trump on this subject is something on an entirely differently level than left/right liberal/conservative Democrat/Republican disputes.

hmmmmmm....

be an SJW or....
be a Nazi apologist, be a supporter of honoring slavers and traitors, be an alt-right white supremicist fascist...


Yeah, I'm pretty comfortable with the former, thanks.

There's a difference?

Alt-righters are on the Nazi end of the spectrum.
SJWs are on the commie end of the spectrum.

Both can get authoritarian.

I'll eat that the left can swing commie, but you righties gotta look the Nazi thing in the face too.

they themselves say at every opportunity including in response to today's remarks that Trump enables them.

Now, if this time last year Trump had done something like Reagan might have done in the same situation and looked dead into the camera and say "Not no but hell no I don't want the support of these miserable reprehensible hatefuul Nazi scum"

And then pointed back to that position every time one of those assholes pulled on a MAGA hat - then yeah, I'd be happy to say "He's a fuck up in all other respects but at least he's not enabling Nazis'

But that's not what he's done, not even a little bit.

Well that comes down to how you use your terms.

On the left, an SJW might well be some "antifa" anarchist who trots off to every protest to provoke mayhem and start fights

BUT

If you say "I think women ought to be paid as much as men" or "I think everyone ought to be considered on an equal basis for military service if they are qualified to serve" or "I don't think religious traditions ought to dictate government policy" or "there's such a thing as rape culture and white privilege" then right wingers will say "Fucking SJW!!!" so it's possible to be proud to be what THEY call an SJW and not be the violent rioters.

On the other hand and by contrast, if you're a Nazi you're a goddamn Nazi and it's impossible to spin that as someone with noble intent.

So no, Nazi and SJW are NOT two sides of the same coin.

Everyone tapped their foot all day for Trump to condemn it, so fucking Huckabee did it for him.

You don't wanna see the comments under that tweet.
Holy fucking shit, what a bunch of maniacs.
I thought Rightforge back in the rep-warriors days was a shitfest, just 30 seconds of Huckabee Twitter replies made all 10 years look like Carebears.

What Hitler and the Nazis did was tap into the virulent anti Semitism that had been growing sometimes out of sight, sometimes in plain sight for generations in central Europe and then applied modern industrialized state technology and organization to the killing.

There's a lot of images out there of newspapers in the 20's and 30's saying "Yeah Nazis are assholes but they'll never have power so chill out."

Nothing Trump can say at this point that would satisfy the Left. They hate Trump purely for the sake of hating Trump, so he might as well do what he thinks is right.

Awwww boodgie oodgie boo boo booo!!

Agreed. Nazi Germany was the logical conclusion of the Prussian state with a little Versailles seasoning to top it off.
