Trump protesters applauding verbatim Hitler speeches.

So to sum up:

Obama failed to do anything about the real but not real Russia story peddled by FAKE NEWS endlessly when we should be talking about the real & relevant issues like EMAILS. PS: Putin told me about this real great idea he has to protect our cyber!

The best part of this is one of Trump's (and the right in general) favorite lines is that Obama was always "apologizing for America".

Here's why

"Mr. Kushner has submitted additional updates and included, out of an abundance of caution, this meeting with a Russian person, which he briefly attended at the request of his brother-in-law Donald Trump Jr. As Mr. Kushner has consistently stated, he is eager to cooperate and share what he knows.

in all seriousness, the kkk event here was an odd phenomenon. yes they are total dickheads, but at the same time they did go through the proper channels for a legal protest. a lot of the counterprotestors did not, and then were mystified when thry got arrested, shot with tear gas

i have mixed feelings. even when its just 30 or so clowns, it shows we still have some progress to make race wise (although that goes with out saying). but at the same time, it was nice to see one of if not our most prized rights protected by a local government who could not disagree more with what the message of that speech was

Unfortunately, it seems that allowing people to be shitheels up front only encourages other shitheels to continue being shitheels.

And that's part of how we got Donald Trump for a president.

The 1st Amendment doesn't cover calls to violence, and hate speech is, in my opinion, inherently violent.

I'm not saying "we should arrest people for their beliefs", mind you.

I am, however, saying that we've given them the mistaken belief that their delusional bigoted beliefs deserve an equal platform to everything else.

They don't.

And the moment they start advocating hatred, bring the harsh hammer of justice down on their freedoms.

Unfortunately, we failed to do this, and hate groups are now running about like they own the place simply because "their man" became president.

Very much so. In fact, hate speech and violence have a direct correlation, to the point where hate speech should inherently be considered "inciting violence".

This also goes to all of the Republicans (and even some Democrats!) that talk about "the muslims" ever since 9/11, which has encouraged Americans to assault and harass them in public.

Then let them. It'll serve as a strong check for when the government is failing and not listening to the people.

Which yes, is how we get president Trump.

These usually go hand in hand, though. It's human nature to incite violence via hate even if violence isn't specifically being encouraged. Causality has to be taken into consideration, being literal about it leads to too much potential of violence withought an official instigator, even when everyone can point to the cause.

Then let's get philosophical.

Say we make hate speech a crime and there are now a list of words and phrases that can get you arrested.

Obviously the n-bomb would be on that list.

Are previous rap albums now contraband? Will they be arrested for performing songs on stage? What about books like Huckleberry Finn?
