“What if we rounded up all suspected white domestic supremacist terrorists and took their kids from them and put them in camps and molested and starved them? Just curious.” This was a recent tweet from former Democrat congressional candidate Dayne Steele.
“The Founding Fathers were white nationalist terrorists,” tweeted Professor Nelson Flores.
Popular author Joanna Schroeder urged mothers to “stalk” their sons’ social media to make sure they aren’t sucked into white nationalism. She also warned mothers about worrying “red flags,” such as using the word “triggered.”
Finally, nearly one thousand people “liked” a tweet from user @coastalelite22, a “mom of two white boys.” She complained it was so hard to get her sons to see how “entitled” they are that she wondered if this wasn’t a “genetic defect.”
In the “Satanic Panic” of the 1980s, Christian mothers supposedly were afraid that playing “Dungeons & Dragons” lead to demonic possession. Pastors burned heavy metal paraphernalia, and tabloids and television spread lurid tales of occult rituals. This is easy to mock in retrospect.
Today, many journalists, artists and “satirists” are more credulous than the most paranoid church lady. They describe the 2017 Unite the Right protest in Charlottesville as if it was a pogrom. The independent report confirming police deliberately provoked violence had almost no impact. Incredibly, in Newsweek’s August 9 cover story, former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe brags about how he handled the rally. If the Department of Justice cared about the rule of law, it would investigate him.
