Is America no longer "the great melting pot"?
By Thom Hartmann A...
Edmund Burke is often quoted as saying that all it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.Conservatives are silent as Trump's tweet telling women of color to go back to their ancestor's country amplifies the sort of thing that people like David Duke and the Klan have been saying forever.
It's just as explicitly racist and fascist as was his "very fine people on both sides" comment.
Now the leader of the Republican Party is not just saying things like this repeatedly, but doubling down on them. Has the GOP now moved so far to the right that this will get Trump re-elected?
And, if so, does this mean the end of the American Experiment of the "great melting pot"?

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
Has the party of death, otherwise known as democrats, moved so far to the left that they think that spouting fasicst, racist language will win them the WH in 2020? Witness the remarks from Pressley at Nutroots. Black and brown people need to speak up but only if you are going to advance a certain agenda. Otherwise keep your mouth shut.
Thom - where is your outrage against these obviously bigoted and racist remarks? Are you going to do nothing?
