Hate and "Nice People"

Etc. etc. etc… [In case you're wondering, "cuck" is the verb form of "cuckservative," an Alt-Right term for conservatives they see as having "sold out" to liberals and moderates (Wikipedia, 2018b).]

Over the last year, I've discussed all of this and more with Trump's defenders, face-to-face and on countless social media comment threads. To date, not one of them has been willing to even acknowledge these things, much less show the slightest concern about them or agree to discuss how they might be prevented. I can't even get any of them to mention Heather Heyer by name. On a few occasions I went so far as to directly challenge some of them to their faces to do so. Yet to this day, virtually every mention of the name "Heather Heyer" I've ever heard or seen anywhere in print, was by "snowflakes" or the "liberal media."

Most people think of the Biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah as one of sexual depravity. But Ezekiel tells us;

"[T]his was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy." - (Ezekiel 16:49)

Arrogant... Overfed... Unconcerned...

Show me someone who refuses to entertain a conversation about a 12-yr-old black girl getting a death threat, or even mention by name a woman who was run over by a Nazi while peacefully protesting his bigotry... but bristles if anyone who actually does care about these people kneels in protest before the flag at a sporting event... and I'll show you the true face of hate: Arrogant, overfed, ice-cold indifference.

"So a black kid got a death threat... So some snowflake bitch got run over... So what! Get over it! Quit making everything about race, it rarely enters my conscious thought...!"

"What's for dinner...?"

Is it any wonder that in Alt-Right communities the term bleeding heart is a pejorative?

Today more than ever, it's too easily forgotten that words are sacred. They have the power to heal or wound, to bring light or darkness, and what we do with them matters. Dilute the word hate to where it includes any semblance of prophetic vision or a moral compass and draws no distinction whatsoever between thoughtful critiques of the bigotry and moral bankruptcy of people like Donald Trump, and the violence and persecution described above, and you'll render it meaningless... and when it's needed most, it'll have no teeth. Make no mistake people. How we respond to moral crises like these doesn't reveal us for our "political views". It determines whether we're salt and light to a world in need... or moral cowards. As writer Naomi Shulman once said;
