Great piece... wonder who’ll see themselves in this one? Funny how this racist jerk got caught & charged for his Jan 5th Capitol attack criminal acts by continuing his hateful public displays of anti-Asian hate.

LOLS - why thank you…the sad part is I thought when we elected our 1st bi-racial POTUS , that we as a Country had truly bent the arch of justice in the right direction. Whereas Trump gave the racist, white supremacist, neo-Nazis, oath keepers, et al —gave them permission, encouragement and accolades for being overtly racist. I standby my assertion that Trump tapped into the rage and racism to propel him to the highest office in the land - something no politician dared to do. And it’s not like you can put that toothpaste back in the tube.

I too Filey thought President Obama's election, twice, had us on a new less racist path until I started to hear what I named the "seepage" . Clients of mine started to let snide and even hateful angry racist remarks slip out here and there. I strictly follow federal and state fair housing laws in my profession so this was alarming, I even halted an initial interview and declined to accept a client as my efforts to steer the conversation away from a full blown racist tirade failed with him and his wife was right there too spewing. Looking back I now realize the seething smoldering depth of racist hatred within some people towards President Obama 's election. I agree the election of Trump was more about putting minorities back "in their place" again than any love for Trump himself.

I know... but we can at least figuratively beat the back down under the rocks they crawled out from under. Make it hurt so bad they never dare tear their ugly heads again. I started noticing it around 2009/2010 when I first got on social media. Friends, family & old co-workers said the most racist shit on FB that I’d NEVER heard them say in person. It only got worse over the next 10 years... I see it as their last dying breaths before their ugly ideas are squashed

I love knowing these hateful people are also losing their jobs. I also wonder if he was spraying bear spray like other terrorists that day.

Hope you have a great weekend!

You know how I use to like and unlike tweets on Twitter - I’m carrying on that tradition here on Substack too because I just unliked and liked your comment <snort me mainly laughing at myself> sending you a virtual hug

Speaking of Oathkeepers :

"Oathkeepers leader Elmer Steward Rhodes is strolling the halls of CPAC...with an official event pass.

Texas CPAC

He didn't enjoy being spotted, and apparently got in reporter @ZTPetrizzo's face...yelling obscenities"
