Will America survive Trump's effort to stoke a Civil War?
Aug. 31, 2020 2:58 pmBy Thom Hartmann A...George W. Bush had 9/11, and Adolf Hitler had the burning of the Reichstag. In both cases, an attack on the nation brought people together behind their leader.
White nationalists, including those embedded in police departments, have been attacking Black Lives Matter protestors in high profile ways the last few months, and Donald Trump is hoping it will help him. Over the weekend, both Kellyanne Conway and Laura Trump said as much, even implying that people being killed in the streets is good for Donald Trump.

Was the Slave Patrol Doing its Work Last Night in Kenosha Wisconsin?
Aug. 26, 2020 2:16 pmBy Thom Hartmann A...As I pointed out in my book "The Hidden History of Guns and the Second Amendment," the reason the Second Amendment was written and passed was to protect the slave patrols of Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia.
In most cases, the slave patrols were volunteer vigilante groups, drawing from the population of local farmers and other white people whose economic survival depended on the larger plantations.

As Shocked As Republican Commentators On TV Seem, Donald Trump Is Nothing New For The GOP
Aug. 25, 2020 3:39 pmBy Thom Hartmann A...The Republican convention's first day was filled with sturm und drang, warnings and fear, hysteria and demagoguery. And what were they so concerned about?
The largest fear seems to be that Black people would move into the suburbs, with Black Senator Cory Booker telling them which white houses to take over.
