The Trump movement is all about throwing off the shackles of “political correctness.” Meaning that’s it’s now okay for a Pennsylvania mayor to spew racism, and a Kentucky congressional candidate to spew racism, a Hawaiian congressional candidate can spew racism, and of course, for a Louisiana senate candidate to run on nothing but racism.
And Trump’s campaign has come as a relief to many, many people who are glad to see that they’re not alone.
Like millions of others, she believed that President Obama was a Muslim. And like so many she had gotten to know online through social media, she also believed that he was likely gay, that Michelle Obama could be a man, and that the Obama children were possibly kidnapped from a family now searching for them. …
“Finally,” she said. “Someone who thinks like me.”
What’s making the racist, sexist, and antisemitic especially happy is they don’t have to hide who they are. They can let the white sheets, Confederate flags, and concentration camp jokes fly.
To help out, the Trump campaign has a mobile app called, appropriately enough, America First. And if the nationalist name doesn’t tip you off, just a short scroll down the leader board will let you know what kind of user really rates in Trump’s campaign.
What was it Trump said last night?
Trump … pledged to win Pennsylvania and called supporters of international trade “blood suckers.”
Somehow that seems familiar.
