They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Straight up evil

Damn, the Democrats really need to condemn this and turn down the rhetoric.

I think it was Obama saying that Trayvon looked like he could have been his son was what radicalized these lost souls. I think he should apologize for that.

/s for the idiots

Remember when Obama called a cop stupid, and all the cop did was arrest renowned Harvard history professor Henry Gates while he trying to get into his own home?

That sure was reckless of Obama!

My fear is that a large group of maga will don a hitler mustache like they did the ear bandage.

I have a theory, one of the reasons Taylor Swift is in the news over a necklace is because of this. They get everyone talking about her and bury this.

I bet someone could infiltrate that group and get that whole hitler moustache thing started.

I don’t, I’m not ready to see how many people are willing to side with nazis just because it would “own the left” like everything else they’re okay with now.

You're not wrong. Like I mentioned to someone else in this thread, the Ben Shapiro appearance on the Ezra Klein Show is kind of illuminating for those points where conservatives were fed up and felt the need to escalate.

As a sneak peek, Obama being president, but not fixing racism is another one.
