In terms of the media blowing things up this is pretty much what I've been talking about. The saying that "White supremacy/nazism etc.. is on the rise" is funny to me because it suggests that there's this big racist movement going on amongst the white community to exterminate non-whites (especially blacks and jews). People compare Trumps random "divisive rhetoric" to the carefully thought out leadership of Hitler and dare to say "look it's happening all over again". Give me a break.
Trump is nothing close to what Hitler was, and America is definitely not turning into some clone of Hitler's Germany. Like I've said, the media loves to take things like Charlottesville and act all "outraged" and try to make people believe that there's this huge division and that people should be afraid of the racists out there. Some jackass got into a car and ran into a crowd of people and killed someone and they started yelling "oh my god terrorism".
It’s obviously sad that someone died, but the fact that they tried to turn this into some terroristic event is also sad. Ironic that the media (especially CNN) likes to complain about false equivalencies being put forth by the Right when they do the same thing with situations like this. Here’s something to think about, had no one showed up looking for a fight in the first place no one would have died and there would be no talk of “oh my gosh terrorism!”. This was an isolated incident in reaction to what was going on that particular day in the heat of the moment and not some carefully thought out and planned attacked like you would see when dealing with something like Islamic terror.
But that’s the type of thing the media tries to plant in the minds of the public. Be afraid, be very afraid. The white man is coming to kill you. Trump is Hitler. Racists are rising!!! Oh the humanity!!!
