Reported hate crimes in America rose 17 percent last year, the third consecutive year that such crimes increased, according to newly released FBI data that showed an even larger increase in anti-Semitic attacks.
More than half of hate crimes, about 3 out of every 5, targeted a person’s race or ethnicity, while about 1 out of 5 targeted their religion. Of the more than 7,000 incidents reported last year, 2,013 targeted black Americans, while 938 targeted Jewish Americans. Incidents targeting people for their sexual orientation accounted for 1,130 hate crimes, according to the FBI.

In August 2015, the Orange shit-stain came down his phony gold escalator (not that he'd walk) and called all Mexican undocumented aliens rapists and thieves, and the White Supremacists wept with joy.

Between the Proud Boys and outright crazies like Atomwaffen there has been a huge increase in organized anti-Jewish, anti-minority organized groups. They exist in the shadows and they constantly reorganized when light is thrown on them. But they exist in large numbers, particularly here in Texas.

Not surprising, hate groups are just more visible and feel emboldened to target minorities. If Democratic House investigations start digging into Trump's tolerance for them I'm hoping the hate preachers decide to crawl back into their holes.

That will be harder than putting toothpaste back into tube or shoving the insipid turds up DJT's ass!

They won’t crawl back into their holes. They will whine to the Trumpenfurher and he will have another tizzy about those liberal Dems not behaving because he said so.

Some visuals are just too disgusting to think about.

Tolerance?
More like encouragement...he spoke to them, mostly in code, yet his message was still quite clear.
He padded his administration with unsavory characters like Steve Bannon, Milo Yiannopoulos and Besty Devos - these would be intellectuals who lent credence and brought to the surface the worst elements of conservatism.
We can only hope the Dems will take this opportunity to string him up. He ousted Sessions, the main player running interference into any investigations..
The hope is to get him run out on a rail before 2020.
The hate groups and hate preachers are a scary lot, emboldened, out in the open and running through the streets of some major cities and getting away with heinous acts of violence.
So is Trump a Teflon Don?

Don't forget Steve Miller, and Kelly himself--both racist to the core.

I'm waiting on a local Trans group to get back to me on taking a MO CCW class.

And now, this.
This year’s results do serve as a warning to Trump in one important sense, however: His base alone will not be enough to win a second term. Throughout the stretch run of the 2018 midterm campaign, Trump and Republicans highlighted highly charged partisan issues, from the Central American migrant caravan to Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court. And Republican voters did indeed turn out in very high numbers: GOP candidates for the House received more than 50 million votes, more than the roughly 45 million they got in 2010.
But it wasn’t enough, or even close to enough. Problem No. 1 is that Republicans lost among swing voters: Independent voters went for Democrats by a 12-point margin, and voters who voted for a third-party candidate in 2016 went to Democrats by 13 points.
Trump and Republicans also have Problem No. 2, however: Their base is smaller than the Democratic one. This isn’t quite as much of a disadvantage as it might seem; the Democratic base is less cohesive and therefore harder to govern. Democratic voters are sometimes less likely to turn out, although that wasn’t a problem this year. And because Republican voters are concentrated in rural, agrarian states, the GOP has a big advantage in the Senate.1

Personally, I think the good point made is moot because he can't run from inside a FedMax prison. But that's just me.
The increase in hate crimes is directly attributable to the current moldy orange. Get rid of him and we'll see a decrease in many, many anti American things taking place within our borders.

Accidentally ran across this whilst searching for something else - too good to leave lost.

Many of us saw this coming. It's only going to get worse.

The report is just what we expected since we have had three years of hate mongers in charge.
