The fascist, white supremacist political party Republican that works nearby is trying to end abortion rights, marriage equality, the struggle against institutionalized racism and poverty, and any hope of an equal, pluralistic modern society.

You can laugh at these pathetic men, and probably you should, but you should also realize that the most powerful political party in our country, seemingly able to control public policy in or out of power, with 35%-40% support, acts primarily to support their point of view.
Here's what I want people to understand about the marching Nazis:
They believe society is the preferential property of white people above all others. They are supremacists.
Our political and social systems are oriented to accommodate their point of view.
That is the supremacy.

A large, vocal, mostly white minority demands a society oriented toward accommodating their desires, even if what they want is morally indefensible, even if it clearly makes things worse.
Our laws and society are still oriented to giving them that accommodation.

Notice that when any part of our society stops giving it to them, we start hearing about problems like "divisiveness" and "polarization"—because many fine people support the idea of justice, but can't extend their support so far that they actually stop accommodating injustice.
We fine people agree to disagree.
We keep quiet.
Support order rather than justice.
Make the accommodation of our own personal physical and psychological comfort a prerequisite for supporting the necessary demands of justice.
The word I'd give the accommodation is "supremacy."

This is, by the way, the topic of both the newsletter scheduled for Monday morning, and the subject of the book of essays I'm trying to finish up.
