6. She's doing a damned good job defining white supremacists' authoritarian fascist politics, without

using any of those words.

Maddow's doing what she does best, framing what motivates antifa against our whites-only dark history and visuals of Richard Spencer, and white supremacists' connection to immigration "reform's" so-called intellectual bases.

She's going with this for what, you can tell, is going to be many nights ahead.

[LisaM]

8. She seems to be running a lot of clips.

11. She'll expose the Con's father shortly

[malaise]

10. They're using clips from some of her previous programs

I've seen them before - it's very good

12. She tells how the klan flexed its muscles after Coolidge's re-election, the klan's rallies during th

failed Democratic Convention.

That the klan today is connected to white supremacists of Spencer's groups today, and demonstrating mainstream political power has been their goal for almost 100 years.

For media to pursue stupid "they both do it" claims against the left is what Rachel's using her immense media presence to frame about what antifa means in America from now on.

She showed photos like this. We've seen this movie. We must never let these kinds, then or now, ever, never take over this country's government.

She says we have to stop treating white supremacy as a surprise. We have been trained to think of these groups as fringe. But white supremacy is has been a longstanding evil force moving toward political power in this country.

Yay! She said the word FASCISTIC! More than once!
