Emily G added,
This is a great article. It outlines much of the path forward we saw as our best outcome here in Cville.
Our goal in Cville, broadly, was to prevent not just Unite the Right but to shatter the very notion of the right uniting.
Now we have these fragments that need to be squashed.
The right's strongest moment--their *only* moment of unity--came at the UVa statue on August 11, when they outnumbered us 10-to-1.
That says a lot about the fragility of a movement supposedly built on strength through unity.
(n.b. fascism is all about gaining strength through unity so their failure to unite betrays the fact that they're even shitty at fascism)
What's unspoken is the damage being done by the aftermath. Multiple people in jail. More charges coming. Lawsuits galore will bankrupt them.
I just signed a petition to put Kessler and Spencer under grand jury investigation.
And the three (soon to be more!) lawsuits filed against them are going to expose quite a bit about their operations in discovery.
Spencer is running out of runway, fast. But the trouble still resides in Appalachia.
