Unite The Right, Advocating For Hatred

TODAY IN BOSTON is the great "Freedom of Speech", "unite the right" march, rally, riot, demonstration, protest, mob, or whatever in the hell you want to call it. Its hard to decide. In general, its the same crowd of right wing hate mongers, Klan, Nazis, white supremacists, Trump supporters, conservatives, conservative evangelical Christians, and the like who gathered together in Charlottesville, VA last weekend ostensibly in order to protest the very idea of removing statues of Confederate heroes from public places. What they really and truly gathered together for in Charlottesville was what they gather together for today in Boston: to advocate for their extreme right wing agenda, which includes racism, support for Trump, and conservative Republican ideas, plus, Christianity, all rolled miraculously into one. Commenting on this gathering by forming another gathering opposing it is the coalition of sane Americans who hate racism and want to live in a racially equal and diverse country. Most of these people identify as "liberal" or progressive". They should be called the "moral majority", because they are both, but the name has already been commandeered years ago by, ironically, the conservative evangelical community, which will be heavily represented toady in Boston, fighting for the "unite the right" cause, which is neither moral, nor a majority. Today, more than ever in America, we the American people shoot our mouths off, with impunity, thanks to Twitter, and so forth. Our freedom of speech seems as safe and secure as ever before, if not more so. The best example of this is President Trump. And yet, the "unite the right" folks act as if the first amendment is in dire peril. No, they're not advocating for freedom of speech. They're advocating for hatred. These people are incredibly full of it....and guess what? A mere handful of right wingers showed up in Boston, only a few, and the rest stayed home...why? Perhaps they are intimidated by America's reaction to them .In Boston, the racial equality progressive outnumbered them dramatically, reflecting American values. Similar progressive rallies are being scheduled for other cities, rallies in opposition to racism, and white supremacy, marches and rallies unto themselves, not as responses to the hate marchers. Future racist white supremacist marches in doubt. Trump's numbers tank. Maybe we're beginning to awaken from our long national nightmare.
