I sent a text to an anti-Clinton buddy of mine in intel if he was going to start getting paid in rubles.  Wasn't amused.

I doubt I could tolerate actual neo-nazis.  Thankfully I don't know any.

Now, now...we all know you don't have to be a neo-nazi to hate negroes.  #SkittlesDontNeedSwastikas

You're living proof, Mr. Dazzling Urbanites.

What can I say, I love my people.

What she's saying is, the protesters should arm themselves and march on the Capitol and the White House?  Interesting point of view.

She also posted this, so I'm confused about he roverall stance.

Protesting offends authoritarian sensibilities. 

That's why I what I told guys back during Occupy Wall Street and even the Arab Spring: Main Street America does not consider protesting to be a valid form of democratic expression.  It is simply too impolite.

What a Russian attitude.

It is impolite, and it's wasting time that better could be spent doing something productive.  Like work.

See, it's totally alien concepts to you because you're not from around here.  In Europe, the government is afraid of and defers to the people. In the United States, people are afraid of and defer to the government.   We defer to authority, because authority is stability.

Protests?  Hippie draft-dodger bullshit. Marches?  Negroes just need to be quiet.  General strikes? I'm not losing my job.  We don't strike as students because we've got to go to class.

Maybe you're right here - they seem to have no affect in the US whatsoever, which is interesting.

Yeah.  That cotton's not going to pick itself, you know.

Sounds like good, honest work.

This is such crap.  We just had an election in which "the people" made their choice.  250 people smashing cars in Oakland is not "the people."

But they're very useful idiots.

Not even referring to that.  I'm talking about things like anti-war rallies surrounding the Nixon White House.  Occupy Wall Street.  Black Lives Matter.  Widespread protests, marches, strikes...that stuff doesn't move the needle in America. If anything, it antagonizes the Moral Majority.

Compare that to what Europe does. Look at France in 1968.  Last night isn't protesting.  Last night isn't even a sports championship.
