Having Our Moment In The Sun

IF AND WHEN the racist right wing of the U.S. tries to have another march, anywhere, the opposition, calling itself "antifa" for "anti-fascist", might best serve its own purpose by staying away, instead of protesting across the street from them. Let the "unite the right" conservative christian racists enjoy the entire spotlight, without competition. Whether the right wingers march for statues, for a united right wing, or for freedom of speech, they are in reality marching for nationalism, racism and cultural conformity. Shine the light of truth. Let them spew their free speech to their heart's content, so that we may all listen, and evaluate. The whole world is watching. Those white robes and Nazi uniforms look great on high def flat screen TV. We want the undecided community to get a good, hard look at the extreme right, then compare those values with progressive values, starting with equality and diversity. Progressive Antifa marches should always be held the day after unite the right struts its stuff, to show contrast. No violence please. Violence among progressives allows the fascists to claim moral equality, which is laughable. Let's change "Antifa" to Anticon", "anti-conservative". The extreme right is closely allied with Christianity and right wing politics and economics. Just ask any of them. The left is allied to the sacred principle of religious diversity and tolerance. Why, exactly, is it that the moral majority is so remindful of the KKK in its support for the Christian faith, conservative politics, and Donald Trump? If the evangelical community remains in Trump's corner, and the right wing white supremacists do likewise, all of the above my live to regret it.
