… What I’ve taken away from all of this is that “they” really hate me. They can’t openly hate 50% of the population, so they hate those who are our ‘leaders’.

I see you have had the good sense not to waste years of your time “debating” the Right to Keep and Bear Arms with ardent restrictionists and political progressives.

They that is, who believe that both the kind of law which regulates and limits the forms which ordinary law may take (i.e. constitutional laws and principles) and supporters of the same, are an impediment to modern social evolution and human progress.

“Gap-toothed Neanderthals”, “Cretins”, “fearful, sexually bigoted morons”, “slated for extinction and not a moment too soon”, “perverts in love with killing machines” and “death deserving reactionary trash”, is some of the more printable terminology.

Little attempt to hide the hate, or death wishes for political opponents, there.

After awhile you react to it with an indifferent shrug, and reply relentlessly on point instead.

Which enrages them all the more.

Oh dear, was that an ad hom?

One thing I found notably lacking in most of the coverage of Charlottesville is any accounting of how many “alt-right” were in attendance vs. the opposition (“alt-left”, antifa or whatever). My suspicion is that an honest count would tend to diminish the hysterical narrative of the supposed rising tide of white supremacism.

Art Deco is right, but I’d go further: Trump is the “Devil incarnate” because he not only defies them, he fights back; he trips them up on their own rules & tactics. They self-destruct in a fit of rage. Kathy Griffin said it best, “He broke me.” It is amazing to watch, and an unexpected bonus of his presidency (I had expected his love of spats to kill his candidacy. Wrong!).

It may be scary but its very necessary.

I have my doubts as to how many constitute the “cavalcade.” There seems to be two things going on at the same time. There is a pushback against the demonization of all whites. There is also some pushback against the demonization of young men.

In Charlottesville, there was a march of young white men who were chanting “You will not replace us.” The news media reported this as “Jews will not replace us.” Listen to the video and see if you agree with me that the media lied to further demonize those young men.

The so-called leader of the march is a young man whose previous media presence was as a leftist leader of the “Occupy Wall Street” demonstrations. He is a classic agent provocateur.

Mr Dershowitz is acting more like a Judge and holding up a principle rather than taking sides.

I do not agree with many of his political positions, but he is a principled person, who upholds his personal and professional integrity. This is a trait that we could use much more in our Country.
