We become them if we behave like them.<br /><br />Over 100 Jewish people were killed on Krystallnacht, not including subsequent deaths or suicides. Over 30,000 Jewish men were put in concentration camps. Jewish synagogues were burned, ans yes, Jewish businesses were ransacked. How can you not know this?

They dragged Jewish proprietors into the streets and beat them up while others watched and yelled encouragement.<br /><br />Aside from the single act of terrorism comitted by a mentally ill young man incited by nazis, the alt-right marchers did not physically attack anyone except the protesters who came close to their own demonstration. There was no rioting and no violence targeted against uninvolved people or property. It was mot the massive terrorism aimed at Jews on Krystallnacht. Exaggeration trivializes what Jews experienced, unprovoked and simed at them because they were Jews, not because they were anti-protesters in-the-face of demonstrators with whom they disagreed. <br /><br />The Charlottesville killing is tragic but that doesn't make it a Krystallnacht.

They don't take responsibility<br />for their own failures, instead blaming them on their vistims. They bring others down into the gutter with them, then<br />chide those others for dwelling in the gutter. They only know how to tear down, not build up.<br />Conservatives live in a fantasy world, where nothing changes and nothing must ever change.<br />Their cowardice knows no bounds. They even make weak, gullible minds believe that<br />liberals are the real bullies.
