Alas, the right wing bubble is still intact

I did a perusal of the right wing online world to see what their reactions to Charlottesville and Trumps response was. I thought maybe there would be a few people that would condemn the Nazi's or Trumps reaction to the violence.

The right wing response boiled down to:

1) Obama never condemned BLM after the police shootings. If that was a "lone wolf" attack, then so was Charlottesville.
2) The Nazi's had a permit and were there legally, the counter protesters were an illegal mob but the liberal media won't say that.
3) Obama radicalized the racial split in this country and Trump is trying to bring everyone back together.

Not one word that, maybe, supporting Nazis isn't a good idea.
Not one word for the woman killed.
Trump's response is, at worst, the same as Obama's to the police murders, and, at best, what a president should say.

These are the talking points that will soon be picked up by Fox News and then the White House and then believed by 30% of the country.

4. I saw it at work this morning too...

Trump supporters saying: "These people aren't hurting anyone, they were exercising their first amendment rights". "The counter protestors brought this on themselves. They stoked the violence, not the rally participants. This is all on their heads". And so much more vile shit. It's discouraging that so many well educated people could be so blinded and twisted by their own political affiliations that they could twist themselves into believing that crap. It's sickening, just sickening.

6. That skips a step

It's not that they were there and what they did, it's that they are this way.

7. True...very true.

And I never imagined I'd hear folks making excuses for klansmen and nazis!!!
