Video Shows Black Man Who Was Out Jogging Shot Dead By Father And Son White Guys

Pax on both houses: Cartoon: Trump's Racism

This morning I read a line by American author Thomas Pyncheon in which he observed: “If they can get you to ask the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about the answers.”
From now on, when I am in head-to-head conversation with someone who is defending Trump (or Trumpism) I will answer the first question they ask (or respond to the first stupid/ignorant/benighted statement they make) by replying, “Why are 93% of American hate groups politically conservative organizations?
And why do we know as soon as an unarmed black person is murdered in cold blood (like unarmed jogger Ahmaud Arbery shot dead in Georgia this week) that the killer (or killers) are ALWAYS politically conservative?
And why is it that whenever we see a Nazi or confederate flag, the person brandishing it is ALWAYS politically conservative?
After this prelude I will answer the cultist’s specific question.
In brief, let it be known that contemporary American conservatism is fundamentally cruel - if not murderous.”
