Alt-Right Nazis Scurry to Safety in Boston

Stripped of their guns and clubs, the Alt-Right appears to have fled the area of conflict, returning to their basement lairs and their vast storehouses of Cheetos. Faced with thousands of decent people, they became fearful in Boston and slunk off.

This is how we win. This is how we drive the haters and bigots back to the safety of their warrens. Let them eat all the Cheetos they wish, as long as they stay in their dungeons in self-imposed exile.

We can speak far louder than they can. We do speak far louder. They fear us. They are afraid. Alone, they cry bitter tears of frustration and impotence. Keep it up, America.

Send them back to their rooms!

That's what happens when you hang out in an echo chamber. There are so many more of us than there are of them.

What he failed to mention is that most of his audience is older than god and were the assholes who threw rocks at school buses full of little kids in 1976. Their "glory days" of being Nazi assholes happened 40 years ago and they know they lost the fight.

They might have a bigger turnout in Phoenix, DumpsterFire will be there against the mayor's wishes and we all know that rubberneckers love a good fire.

While I don't know about Cheetos, I do know that New Balance is not a White Supremacist brand.

That was a hoax put out by The Daily Stormer to punish them for challenging Trump and his trade views.

There may be other manifestations, but Trump has successfully emboldened the dark minded ones to attempt public intimidation.
He lost.
He lost because almost instantly "we" said NO. Depending on how old you are, "we", and our adult kids, grandkids, and friends literally stood up to them.
tho it did cost lives, sadly.
It was the spontaneity of taking a stand that worked.
Let's hope that is all we need in future.

Just like I do any lab rats involved in any social experiment. Push the button in Charlottesville and get the cheese. Push an identical button in Boston and get a cat released on your ass.
