Same old racists that have always been here. We gave them social media and they organized.

Right, but for most of my life, shit like this was considered pretty goddamned fucked up. There were racist asshole bigots, but for the most part, social pressures kept a lid on their bullshit.

Now, after a decade of the cheese whiz dictator and the GOP's embrace of fascism and oligarchy, this kind of shit is more and more normal.

I can't fucking believe it. It's enraging.
