America has been compared to many times and places in the age of President Trump, from Nazi Germany to the Jim Crow south; Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) has a new one: pre-genocide Rwanda.
According to CNN, Nelson feels that tribalism in American politics is boiling to the same heated toxicity that Rwanda saw in the 1990’s, when the Hutu majority government systematically murdered an estimated 1,000,000 members of the minority Tutsi and Twa population. Following that horrific ordeal, the armed Rwandan Patriotic Front took control of the country and turned another 2,000,000 Hutus into displaced refugees. It is considered one of the worst mass slaughters in history, being that it occurred over just three months.
