And libs will make excuses for the fascists as usual.

When Charlottesville I was a new leftist. I wondered if Trump's election warped my thinking so that my interest in leftism was temporary and would wither away. But Charlottesville made me be 100% certain I had left liberalism behind. Out of curiosity - I googled some GOP pols to see what they said. They made all the appropriate comments about racism, Nazis, and violence having no place in American life. I knew they didn't mean it but at least they said it.

What made me want to projectile vomit surprised me. It was a tweet by Obama - Mr. Liberalism himself. I soon learned it was the most liked tweet ever. It hit all the right notes in a picture perfect manner. In an oblique way it mentioned hate, racism, more importantly it mentioned love, it name-checked Nelson Mandela, and Obama inserted himself into all that with a photo of himself.

"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion."

"People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love For love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite." - Nelson Mandela

Wiki

This tweet was the first of three, by former U.S. president Barack Obama, quoting a passage from Nelson Mandela's autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, in response to the 2017 Charlottesville attack. The accompanying picture, taken in 2011 by former White House photographer Pete Souza, shows Obama visiting a day care center in Bethesda, Maryland.

Four days later, Twitter publicly confirmed that it had become the most-liked tweet on the platform ever, with over 3.3 million likes at the time of announcement. The tweet surpassed previous record holder Ariana Grande's Manchester tweet on August 15, 2017, when it reached 2.7 million likes three days after being posted.

In my bones - deep in my bones - I knew that liberals would never actually do anything about fascism. Instead they'd give speeches as a pantomime of action and their base would eat it up.
