Playing with Fire

Today was hard. The aftermath of this whole Nazi rally thing was difficult. A lot of these people are upset because people are calling them nazis and talking about how filled with hate they are. The thing is, there is a lot of hate out there and they seem pretty hellbent on supporting it. They say they want a dialog, but it's difficult to do that with people holding torches.

As always, they're trying to control the narrative. They're saying the woman who was hit was horrible. They're calling her all kinds of names and accusing her of things just to keep the focus off the bastard who hit her. I suppose this is their way of trying to keep the reality of them being the bad guys as far away as possible. It's the same propaganda we see every time a man decides he needs to shoot a bunch of people.

I also can't help but think about how, after the Women's March, people just spent days and days and days posting rants about how these women have all the rights they need and they're marches left trash on the street and didn't they have better things to do. I seriously doubt those same people will be criticizing this march. They should. If you're upset about abandoned signs, I would think that blood on the street would upset you more.

This solved nothing. It just made things worse. Any situation like this is just going to keep making things worse.
