I have always hoped for a (relatively) bloodless end to fascism in the US. I knew it would take a long time, but I always assumed that each successive generation would be more diverse, just a bit smarter and, therefore, less likely to fall prey to such an idiotic ideology. Like Dimitry just said, we outnumber them by at least 8 million (and hopefully quite a bit more). In 4 years, that should be over 12 million. My hope was that, eventually, the white supremacists would just sort of dwindle, and die off. But now I’m convinced that will never happen, and there are simply too many of these bastards who are hell bent on violence, no matter how futile.
My long way of saying I agree!
I hope the fascists and fascist wannabes continue solely on this path of public protest followed by mass arrest. My biggest concern is for next McVeigh.
