I have a slightly different view of politics than
almost any other Chester County Democrat.
When I see
Confederate flags on homes in Chester County PA I wonder about the weapons and
ammo buried in the yard. I have a viewpoint of politics developed by
face-to-face experience with right wing extremists.
Miami Herald
If Trump loses, get ready to duck
- What will be the radical right’s response if their candidate loses?
- Trump supporters revel in victimhood and entitlement. Anger could worsen if he loses
- Terrorism from the rightist fringe, already a problem, could get worse
The Republican's election of Donald Trump is mostly an
inalienable reaction to wealth inequality.
Wealth inequality is painful to people
who were once middle class and now poor and unemployed. Those with good jobs
know they are one injury or one sickness away from losing everything they have.
The rage of Trump supporters is only in part a racist,
xenophobic reaction to our diversity.
The racist, xenophobic beast inside the Republican Party was cultured in
the petri dishes of Republican Think Tanks, most of them supported by the Koch
Network. That racist, xenophobic beast
is now out of the control of the Koch Network and the Republican National
Committee.
There is some hope of changing wealth inequality if
Bernie Sanders brings a landslide of Democrats along with him. A change in
wealth inequality could mollify some of the justifiable anger of ordinary
people.
If either President Clinton or President Trump takes
office the justifiable anger of ordinary people stays and grows. And the
racist, xenophobic rage of the extreme right remains and grows.
I see the Confederate flags on the porches in
Coatesville and those that wave in the rural areas of Chester County and I
assume there is a stockpile of arms and ammunition in the basements and
backyards of those Confederate flag homes. I assume the people in those homes
might someday act out their violent dreams as a lone wolf terrorist.
Income inequality is the fuel that anti-government
militias and Nazi-skinheads feed on.
Republicans have stoked the flames of
their once extremist fringe so it now engulfs the Republican Party. And no
matter who is president we will be burned by that extremist fire.
Easily obtainable high volume rapid-fire handguns and
assault rifles are the weapons of choice for U.S. domestic terrorists.
Right now we only call them terrorists if they are
Muslim Americans.
Christian anti-government terrorists are now
"misguided", "survivalists" or "insane". Calling
them terrorists insults Republicans.
But at some point, maybe one large domestic
"Christian" terrorist attack or many all at once and even Republicans
will call them terrorist. If that happens our government with all its
surveillance ability and weaponry will be used to protect us.
It has already begun with the arrests of the Bundy
terrorists. The poor soul ant-government "cowboy" that was killed had
no cows on his ranch and lived on government subsidies caring for foster
children. But he was ready to die in a shootout with the government. He's a martyr now. He can take his place beside Timothy McVeigh.

When I was a local government official in Montgomery County, PA I dealt with racist skinheads and their cross lightings along the Perkiomen Creek and some of the incidents they caused.
Many locals that live along the Perkiomen have marijuana-growing operations in their back yards. The racist skinheads are also drug manufactures and sellers. The Perkiomen Trail threatened the big money maker of the racist skinheads.
My children saw this cross burning. I believe it is separate from the skinhead cross lighting ceremonies:

As a public official in Coatesville I dealt with John Birch Society anti-government white nationalists.
Chester County Landscapes is based on the U.N. Agenda 21. Growing new populations and building in walkable towns like the City of Coatesville instead of growing new tract houses in the cornfields of Chester County allows farming to continue and a local sustainable way of life to continue in Chester County.
