My grandfathers were both WWII vets, one was Jewish. They are surely rolling over in their graves at this travesty.

The thing is these people are more emboldened than ever! I remember reading about the march through Skokie, IL. They may start small, a place like this one, but expand out as they start to feel their power again. There are more people like this than many are willing to admit. And, for ever Nazi, there are at least 10 who won't say a damn thing about them or their hateful message.

Thankfully, there are some who will speak out, but I wonder if it will be enough. I will say it again, if this happens, take care to be safe! These people are not rational.
