I feel like we need to have a more concerted focused effort against the racist bigoted trash people, wherever they are. Because they are the ones that don't belong in this country.

    And by "concerted focused effort" does that mean we beat them within an inch of their lives until they promise never to do it again? Because that's what it's gonna take.

    Why bother with stopping at an inch? We didn't beat the nazis by doing that. Stamp out racism where ever it is found.

    We didn't fight Nazi Germany because they were racist. We fought them because they attacked us (through their ally, Japan). The sad truth is there were a lot of Americans who were ok with Nazi ideology.

    From the looks of it it takes another civil war, where the less barbaric people remove the more barbaric people from power. Unfortunately i am afraid that nothing short of that will work, as the system is so unstanle that things like this can happen.

    All a civil war will do is put a bigger boot on all our necks.

    Nobody rational wants to see that happen.

    Unless you enjoy the thought of American military might amped up to 11 and deployed on it's own citizens.

    The US military putting racist authoritarian southern states into order seems like a fairly okay alternative to people constantly being supressed, denies their democratic rights and often being outright murdered without any consequences for the perpetuators.

    As you mention the might of the US military that could also mean the issues to be resolved within a short time and without much bloodshed, as the local cop gang probably is made up of pussy posers that only attack the weak.

    As a bonus, many of those lunatics who have weapons "to protect themselves from the government" would finally see how laughable is the thought of a redneck with a gun overpowering trained soldiers in their prime.
