The fact that so much of the right either accepts or is ambivalent about Trump's birtherism really shows us how far the nation has sunk.
Trump's birtherism not only proved that trump would exploit race for his own purposes, it also absolutely proved that Trump is completely incompetent.
Let's assume for the sake of argument that in April of 2011 Trump is truly and sincerely interested in Obama's birth place, and feels the question belongs in the public and that he should find something out about it.
In 2011 wasn't Trump considered a very successful business tycoon who knew how to get things done? At least that was his public persona.
To find out about Obama's birth certificate someone who was on the ball would have picked up a phone and called the state of Hawaii and asked them what was going on. By 2011, the state of Hawaii had already TWICE officially announced that Obama's original long form birth certificate had been personally examind by state officials in its rightful place in the state archives. They made that announcement both in 2008 and again in 2009 after birtherism was in full force.
This announcement in reality CLOSED THE CASE. So what we have is trump, supposedly this very efficient businessman, failing to do the simplest of due diligence by asking the controlling authority what the situation was. At that time the state of Hawaii was encouraging curious people to contact them so they could correct the record, and Trump never even so much as gave them a call or sent them an email. He's extremely incompetent.
And we all knew this before electing him president.
Her name was Heather Heyer.
Sometimes pictures really are worth a thousand words...
I have no words and none are needed, the photos say it all.
This is what comes of living with hatred in the heart.
It hasn't, doesn't and never will end well.
So simple really.
Do not do what is hateful to you to others.
How hard is that?
E.
Birtherism was the first step and it was never smashed. Now we are here.

It is no wonder the righties are so desperate to (Falsely) assert the violence is coming from the left...
