(1,000 posts)From the time of the Charlottesville March I believe we were put on notice that the second Civil War is on. All over this country war is being made on anyone that qualifies as "the other." The LBGTQ community, obviously. You have the misfortune of being in the front seats at the culture war. Just ask Ron DeSantis, Presidential want to be. The messaging would make Joseph Goebbels blush with envy the way the messaging floats so quickly around the rightwingosphere.
As the January 6 hearings have commenced we are again hearing "what insurrection?" "what about the summer of 2020?" "BLM and Antifa" "cities burned to the ground"
Yeah, those BLM marches were being infiltrated and violence was being egged on all over the country. So these people come from all over the country to incite violence at a Pride march? Nah, I am not surprised. And yes I am deeply concerned. Just look at the slate of Republican Candidates, talk about frightening and disturbing.
All I can say is I hope this is an indication that right wing violence is finally getting the attention it has needed since Oklahoma City.
