He makes people comfortable with their prejudices

Remember he has advisors who've been seen in Nazi garb. His own words on the campaign trail were to "go back to the good ole days"....and make America great again. I guess the last eight years with a black guy as president set us back a bit because he certainly was chummy with the Clinton's while they were running the show.

All it took was 48 hours and public outcry.

Serious question: If the guy who drove that car had brown skin or his name was Ali, what would he have done immediately? Do you think his reaction would have been the same?

GoDaddy, Inc., the web hosting company, severed ties with The Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi and white supremacy website, after the site posted an article mocking Heather D. Heyer, the 32-year-old woman who was killed when a man drove into a crowd during a rally of white nationalists in Charlottesville, Va., on Saturday.

Dan C. Race, a GoDaddy spokesman, said in an email on Monday that his company had given the site 24 hours to find another domain provider. “Given The Daily Stormer’s latest article comes on the immediate heels of a violent act, we believe this type of article could incite additional violence, which violates our terms of service,” he said.

Later on Monday he confirmed that the transfer of the domain had been completed.

The Daily Stormer later transferred its domain name to Google, according to reports and a screenshot of the registration posted on Twitter. Shortly after, Google announced that it, too, would distance itself from The Daily Stormer. “We are canceling Daily Stormer’s registration with Google Domains for violating our terms of service,” it said in a statement.

Not that it would be hard finding an equivalent job somewhere.

One of America's most prominent black CEOs quit President Trump's manufacturing council on Monday over Trump's initial failure to condemn white supremacists.

Kenneth Frazier of Merck said in a statement: "America's leaders must honor our fundamental values by clearly rejecting expressions of hatred, bigotry and group supremacy."

Within minutes, Trump attacked him on Twitter, saying Frazier's resignation will give him "more time to LOWER RIPOFF DRUG PRICES!"

The man accused of driving his car into a crowd of protesters on Saturday and killing one person was arraigned in court Monday morning.

James Alex Fields Jr., of Ohio, faced a judge via video conference at 10 a.m. He faces a second-degree murder charge, as well as three counts of malicious wounding and hit and run.

Fields said he did not have the money to hire a lawyer; however, one of the victims is related to the public defender.

Like Dr Timothy Snyder said:

"Fascism says nothing’s true. Your daily life is not important. The facts that you think you understand are not important. All that matters is the myth ― the myth of one nation as together the myth of the mystical connection with the leader.

When we think of “Post-truth,” we think it’s something new. We think it’s something at campuses. We think it’s something irrelevant. Actually, what post-truth does is it paves the way for regime change. If we don’t have access to facts, we can’t trust each other. Without trust, there’s no law. Without law, there’s no democracy.

So if you want to rip the heart out of a democracy directly, if you want to go right at it and kill it, what you do is you go after facts. And that is what modern authoritarians do.

Step one: You lie yourself, all the time. Step two: You say it’s your opponents and the journalists who lie. Step three: Everyone looks around and says, “What is truth? There is no truth.”

And then, resistance is impossible, and the game is over."
