The far-right influencer, who once sat down for dinner with Donald Trump, made the comments at an “America First” rally.

    This is probably just the first instance of such a thing that has made it to my news feed, but the idea that there has now been a brazenly open Nazi rally on American soil in 21st century is horrifying. This is our 1933 moment, the moment wherein it can happen here. This could be the beginning pages of the worst chapter in American history, and possibly the world.

    I really hope I’m wrong and it’s just the shock making me paranoid and overreactive. I really hope we shut this down as a nation and that conservatives are a part of that effort, because we need them to be.

    Damn, this country is so fucked…

      Sadly, there have been Nazi and white supremacist rallies all over the country, often and every year for quite some time. It’s really sad, but that’s the reality.

      But I think is more notable recently, and more disturbing, is that they’re getting more press and less pushback from the media rather than being ostracized and ignored as they have been in the past.

      Listen to the victim, abused by the system
      The basis is racist, you know that we must face this.
      “It can’t happen here”. Oh yeah?
      “Take a look around at the cities and the towns.”
      See them hunting, creeping, sneaking
      Breeding fear and loathing with the lies they’re speaking
      The knife, the gun, broken bottle, petrol bomb
      There is no future when the past soon come.
      And when they come to ethnically cleanse me
      Will you speak out? Will you defend me?
      Or laugh through a glass eye as they rape our lives
      Trampled underfoot by the right on the rise.
