TBogg is Tom Boggioni, a writer based in San Diego, Ca. More specifically in Pacific Beach. Okay, in Crown Point, if you must know. Happy now? He was once known as a "somewhat popular blogger" back when blogs were a 'thing'. He is writing the Great American Novel, minus the 'great' part.

Saturday afternoon in South Carolina, white supremacists, KKK members, neo-Nazis, Confederate treason sympathizers, and other white people known as the Republican “base” or “potential Donald Trump vice presidential candidates” showed up to wave the confederate flag and just be their normal badass racist selves.

As might be expected, since they advertised their intentions in advance , it went about as well as secession did beginning back in 1860.

By the end of the day they had retreated to a parking garage for their own safety before probably heading out to a Cracker Barrel for a yee-haw victory party and then back to the halfway house before curfew started and their parole officers were notified.

But out of chaos comes temporary order, and with it two perfect examples in the form of photos that illustrate what a sad and disgusting bunch of people these guys are who are standing up for white pride and heritage and the God-given strength they derive from their pure Aryan blood.

That would be these strapping young specimens captured in all their “Stars ‘n Bars” glory on the capital steps:

Take a number ladies, no pushing and shoving. There is — unfortunately — plenty to go around.

But if they can’t stand the heat, well there is a kindly black man standing by who will graciously help them get their clammy white heat-stroked butts out of the sun and to safety:

As they say: White pride goeth before the fall… onto your stupid face.
