31. This Is The Disease Behind Gun Violence

Sat May 19, 2018, 10:48 PM

May 2018

Like malaria relapses, this country goes through these spiritual meltdowns. In the 20s, public lynchings were a family event. In the 60s, the Civil Rights movement brought forth all the stored hatred of a hundred years. A common denominator in these recent events is "There's a new sheriff in town". Trump has issued these psychopaths a hunting license with his rhetoric and example. Tell the truth, I thought the photo was Friday night in San Bernadino. California has a much more comprehensive racist history than Georgia (Asians/Indians/Mexicans/African-Americans). Today, Nazism is more entrenched than in Germany. Their society confronts its own evil and has de-programmed its citizenry of Nazi ideology. America never 'faces facts' about itself. What is Trump thinking when the people he panders to consider Ivanka a race traitor for marrying a Jew? Sam McGee has it right. My father was a POW in Germany and certainly did not suffer for the cause of evil.
