Hate, racism were on one side in Charlottesville, not many

MGB:_Trump is Chauncy Gardner. He believes what he sees on FoxNews, which showed angry demostrators on both sides. He does not have a deep knowledge of history, or why his racist supporters, which he emboldened as a birther against Obama, came out under his leadership. The alt-right wants life before civil rights  back, where Jim Crow united racism north and south and Confederate pride was honored in a gentlemanly struggle rather than a war to preserve economic advantage by the slave power. I wrote about this Saturday at  http://xianleft.blogspot.com/2017/08/removing-general-lee.html

DiNardo is as bad as Trump in pandering to his coalition, which includes the Republican right pro-lifers. DiNardo should know better. At least Cupich and Chaput did. Bravo, Philly!  GOP members of Congress also came out on racism, with no fear on how this effects the abortion coalition (which, of course, means it does not, as most right to life voters condemn alt-right racism). Most people reject Trumpism. It is a shame we linked the pro-life movement to it, even for a weekend in November. Could this weekend reverse this link? We shall see.
