My name is Daniel. I was an English teacher in Seoul, South Korea, and now I am a writer. I have written a number of books that includes my work South Korea: Our Story by Daniel Nardini.

                            It is the sad reality that affects both our countries. In South Korea, there are those who are pro-North Korea and who are against foreigners because they are nor "Korean." Here in the United States, we have a powerful right wing movement that believes only in white people and equally condemns people not of white European origin. When my wife, who is Korean, lived in South Korea, she was harassed and threatened for being married to an American. Recently, my wife, who now lives in the United States, was ill treated by a supporter of the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump because she is Korean. It seems that with extremist people and extremist movements, those who are seen as the "enemy" are made to suffer. In South Korea, there is the leftist pro-North Korea movement, and in the United States there is the right wing neo-fascist movement. Even if Donald Trump were to lose the election (which is an almost certainty), this right wing neo-fascist movement will remain and still be a major problem in America for years to come. Although these movements work on political opposites of the spectrum, they are both well-funded, well-organized, and quite influential. They cannot be under-estimated how much influence they can have in an election or in trying to persuade people to commit violent actions. Even when they lose, they remain a constant concern because they might be able to try and campaign against a certain political official or promote a cause that could influence the country and people.
