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:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
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?
