C'Ville Today

This morning in Charlottesville

One of the organizers of that Unite The Right mess here in my hometown in August 2017 - Richard Spencer - is among the defendants in a civil suit brought by victims of the violence that these assholes perpetrated.

Glenn Youngkin (that's his bus) is the GOP candidate for governor.

I have to allow for some probability that these folks aren't who they appear to be, and are doing this in a sarcastic/ironic kinda way, but this one very large fact says otherwise:

Youngkin tells the MAGArubes he's down with Trump, but then he lies about it when he goes amongst the far less-rabid "independent or undecided voters" in the big squishy middle. That tells me this is almost exactly what's to be expected.

Is Glenn Youngkin a Q-addled racist Trumpster asshole? We really don't know, but he's got strong support from a whole big bunch of Q-addled racist Trumpster assholes who apparently believe him to be one of them. So - yeah. That.

Election Day is this Tuesday (11-2). It's going to be a nervous 4 days.

BTW, here's a partial transcript of a Richard Spencer meltdown (the night of 08-12-2017) posted on Twitter in a long thread by Molly Conger:

This shit is not over - even when it's over, it ain't over, Yogi. Our dads and grandads stomped on these pricks until there was nothing left but greasy spots on sidewalks around the world, but they'll always be with us in one iteration or another. No matter how we beat them down, they'll be back - at some point, they'll be back.

And then it'll be up to our children, or their children, to beat them down again.

'Twas ever thus

and ever thus 'twill be
