Stripped of their guns and clubs, the Alt-Right appears to have fled the area of conflict, returning to their basement lairs and their vast storehouses of Cheetos. Faced with thousands of decent people, they became fearful in Boston and slunk off.
This is how we win. This is how we drive the haters and bigots back to the safety of their warrens. Let them eat all the Cheetos they wish, as long as they stay in their dungeons in self-imposed exile.
We can speak far louder than they can. We do speak far louder. They fear us. They are afraid. Alone, they cry bitter tears of frustration and impotence. Keep it up, America.
Send them back to their rooms!

They might have a bigger turnout in Phoenix, DumpsterFire will be there against the mayor's wishes and we all know that rubberneckers love a good fire.

While I don't know about Cheetos, I do know that New Balance is not a White Supremacist brand.
That was a hoax put out by The Daily Stormer to punish them for challenging Trump and his trade views.

He lost.
He lost because almost instantly "we" said NO. Depending on how old you are, "we", and our adult kids, grandkids, and friends literally stood up to them.
tho it did cost lives, sadly.
It was the spontaneity of taking a stand that worked.
Let's hope that is all we need in future.
