I’m glad she’s standing up against hate. She has more to lose than most of us but still stood up.
That being said, she was 66 in that picture and that freaks me out a little. I remember watching reruns of her on TV back in the 80’s. At the rate I’m going, I’ll be looking like the sorting hat from Harry Potter by that age.
I see some of that rhetoric and I think it’s mostly the younger folks. The virility of youth combined with the challenges they are faced with leave everyone more on edge. There are other factors of course, lack of wisdom, Internet anonymity, etc
I don’t think violence is a useful tool when fighting against hate groups. It’s what they want. Then they have a claim that they are oppressed. You let them make the first move.
That being said, I’m ready to fight back against them at a moment’s notice and will use all means. I see the luxuries most of us enjoy (food, electricity, clean water) and hope it never comes to that for all our sake. Our just-in-time economy depends on stability and COVID showed us how easily it can all get fucked up. Out of control violence is one of those ways.
