A WEEK OF BUILDING FASCISM



A Week Of American Hate: Bombs Mailed, Black People Executed, Jews Slaughtered

Hate showed what it is truly capable of in America this week.

A man executed two black people at a grocery store, but didn’t engage a white man outside because “whites don’t shoot whites.”

A Donald Trump supporter and apparent anti-Semite who looked up to white supremacists sent bombs in the mail to the president’s opposition.

An avowed anti-Semite walked into a synagogue and killed 11 people after screaming, “All Jews must die!” huffingtonpost.com



The President a proud nationalist

As a general rule, presidents do not refer to themselves as a “nationalist” given the freighted history of the word. But as President Trump tries to galvanize his conservative base to turn out in the midterm elections, he has adopted the label as a badge of honor.

At a rally in Houston on Monday night, he embraced the term as unabashedly as he ever has. “Really, we’re not supposed to use that word,” he told supporters in a nod to the usual political sensibilities that he relishes disrupting. “You know what I am? I’m a nationalist, O.K.? I’m a nationalist. Nationalist! Use that word! Use that word!” nytimes.com

"Nationalist! Use that word!" apparently proud of what he has wrought. WRS

I call it A Week Of Building Fascism - call it by its name and vote to deny them power 11/6!
