      What's amazing about this post, Glenn, is that the same thing is happening to people in the States because of the rise of white nationalists--and you have the gall to defend one of your allies who called that problem "nonexistent" and sneered at people who are trying to stop it.

      The same thing is NOT happening in the U.S. Gay congressmen are not resigning & fleeing for their lives here. NYC city council members are not being slaughtered by rightwing cops. Gay leftists here do not remotely require the massive security the Miranda-Greenwald family does.

      Remember the #MAGAbomber? Have you spoken with any Jewish or feminist journalists who have dared to tangle with the alt-right? And trust me, George Soros requires twice the security detail that Glenn does.

      Maybe I could start with the story where the FBI, State department, and Berlin Polizei were frantically tracking me down because of a real and credible threat made against me, but sure let’s talk about how American’s aren’t being chased from their homes and targeted overseas.

      Glenn's in a horrible situation and I have a lot of compassion for him, and I care about his well-being there. Truly. But we need his voice to be calling it out in the USA too, instead of chiming in with his buddies who say the problem here is "nonexistent."

      Tracey shouldn't have said "non-existent." But the threat is being grossly exaggerated to the enormous detriment of focusing on the urgently needed, actual alternative to right-wing populism. Fixating on the alt-right won't get us there.

      Tracey said a *Nazi* threat doesn't exist. I think that absolute is unfortunate, but he's right that the threat is greatly exaggerated. To the detriment of the urgently needed focus on a leftist, populist alternative.

      There's also a threat that you'll be struck by lightening. But the threat is so minuscule that yes, I think it's correct to say it's virtually "non-existent" day-to-day despite these what these vapid fear-mongers preening about Terrorism Threats on Twitter have to say.

          also just adding that insofar as this was ever about the so-called “alt-right,” i don’t think any of us would say that was operating a vacuum and disconnected from right-wing populism. quite the opposite!

          To run with this example *and* prsume that you're right … if the number of lightning strikes was clearly on the rise… wouldn't you look into that? take note? Even if it started as 'virtually non-existent', if it abruptly doubled, for instance, wouldn't it be worthy of concern?

          Myself, I wouldn't say either "non-existent" or "minuscule." Nazis, and Nazi-adjacent rightwing populism is a thing here. But it is cabined by culture and functioning institutions.
