Trump's Rallies Gin Up the Hate

What people do not realize is that Trump has ginned up the Hate in our country. He has targeted so many people, mocking them and degrading them. Women, disabled, injured Vets, immigrants, refugees, people who are struggling and poor, working poor. The rallies which he held during the election are still being held whenever his ego needs a boost. He has encouraged violence at his rallies, and for anyone to be shocked at what happened Charlottesville, they need to only watch how he eggs on the crowds , spewing hate and venom. He is not a leader, he is a Bully. This past week, watching how he would not distance himself from the violence, his "Both sides " statement left so many of us sick, disheartened. Yet on another level, now there are no questions about Who or What he is. And those young men carrying torches and chanting " Blood and Soil" are his people, they are his fans, his base. So yesterday he would not acknowledge the 40,000 that came out to protest Hate in Boston, he at first Tweeted praise to the police, to try to intimidate and let people know he did not support the people marching. It is worrisome none of the GOP are speaking out about Charlottesville, or speaking out against Hate or Trump, does that mean they support Nazis and White Power ? Time will tell why they have not spoken out, a lack of courage might just be the explanation. This week Trump goes to Arizona, it is up to use to keep our eye on him, to not turn away.
