The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.  Edmund Burke.  

People were protesting racism - Trump attacked them for it.  There is no middle ground on racism.  There is no "you don't have to choose" on racism.  And for the Globe to try to portray this as a typical Democrat/Republican - I voted for the other person dispute is disingenuous at best.  Mr. Trump's history of being a racist, misogynist, sexual predator, and homophobic is well known.  At some point in our lives we need to stand for something, demonstrate some core values - this would be a good time to do that.

To not acknowledge that Mr. Trump thought there were some very good people amongst the Nazis at Charlottesville but is very comfortable attacking people of colour when they protest is dishonest.

To not acknowledge that as soon as the announcement by the Penguins was made Mr. Trump was using it as an endorsement is again, dishonest.

A poorly conceived and dishonest editorial.
