Calling Evil By Its Name

  • Calling evil by its name.
  • Calling evil by its name.
  • Calling evil by its name.
  • ETA:  Calling evil by its name.
    And more than that. White supremacy is evil. Nazism is evil. The racism and hate we saw in Charlottesville yesterday is evil. The domestic terrorism that happened there yesterday — a man, motivated by racial hate, mowing down innocents — is evil. And none of what happened yesterday just happened. It happened because the Nazis and the KKK and the violent white supremacists felt emboldened. They felt emboldened because they believe that one of their own is in the White House, or at least, feel like he’s surrounded himself with enough of their own (or enough fellow travelers) that it’s all the same from a practical point of view. They believe their time has come round at last, and they believe no one is going to stop them, because one of their own has his hand on the levers of power.
  • Calling (or not calling) evil by its name.  Not calling evil by its name.
  • Mysterious helicopter crash.
