On Saturday in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, a pro-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and anti-Muslim hate rally organized by racist Jake Lang was abruptly aborted after Lang was swarmed by local residents and counterprotesters. The robust community response to the rally underscores the unpopularity of Trump’s “mass deportation” policies and attacks on immigrants.

    thinking-about-it Nazis don’t care if you hate them. They hate if you humiliate them.

    That photo of Lang cowering and crying in a doorway will do more damage to him than any amount of criticism. You can’t google Christopher Cantwell without seeing “The Crying Nazi” three times on the first page. Future employers and partners can’t, his community can’t, half a century from now his inbred grandchildren will be doing a history class report on their ancestry and they’ll have to write “The Crying Nazi” next to his name if they acknowledge him at all. Bullying bullies in front of the rest of the playground is the only thing that stops them. Everyone now knows they’re too weak to pretend to be strong and be taken seriously.
