    If observation of the US over the last decade has taught me anything, it’s that there are FAR more people who hold that type of hate in their heart than I ever cared to believe or imagine.

    There is quite clearly a significant demographic of our population that has held these beliefs quietly for generations; they are just being emboldened to say things out loud now.

    I don’t know what the solution is, but if we want to avoid the same descent into militarized white nationalism we are witnessing down south, we need to be ready and willing to act swiftly and decisively if these people seize control of our systems of power.
