It’s time we stopped kidding ourselves. It’s time we stopped pretending. We know what just happened on November 8th. If you’re honest with yourself, there is little doubt.
Racism won. Xenophobia won. Homophobia won. Misogyny won.
The Electoral College tells us it wasn’t even close, never mind that pesky 2.2 Million vote gap for Hillary Clinton. That doesn’t matter. The sentiment that America has lost it’s greatness, that it’s lost it’s luster and shine — that it’s been given, taken and stolen away by entitlements (gifts and handouts to shiftless, lazy blacks who just expect to get jobs and loans and homes simply because those were all denied to them for a measly couple centuries or so, and never mind that there are more white people on SNAP, TANF, Medicaid and Medicare than black people) that foreigners and “illegals” are stealing our jobs away and filling our country with crime, filth and drugs, that the gays have softened and weakened our military reducing it to sissified “rubble” so now we can’t even kick ISIS ass, have made our religious business feel bad about themselves with demands for “freedom”, “choice”, “equality” and “respect”, where Muslims have brought their strange and odd ways of “worshiping” the same God that Abraham worshiped, polluting our melting pot with even more melty-ness, demanding too much freedom to pray and live and work among us while chasing a silly dream of “happiness” — as if there some kind of compilation or list of “rights” somewhere, anywhere, protecting that stuff — and then the women just keep asking for more and more shit they don’t deserve, useless shit that cost our oh-so-important freedom loving businesses their “competitiveness” and slightly higher stock values with petty nothings like “equal pay”, “reproductive freedom” and “family leave.” Bah.
All that shit is obviously what’s been holding America back and keeping it from surging forward in a blaze of awesomely greatness. If you voted for Trump the above is what you voted for. The above is what you wanted. Let’s put away the silly notion that some Trump voters simply weren’t aware, that they just didn’t know. They knew, they just didn’t want to admit — sometimes even to themselves — that the entirety of Trump’s promise to make “America Great” was to do so by extracting freedom, liberty and opportunity from others who Trump repeated told us didn’t deserve it, didn’t earn it and didn’t need it.
That would be the rest of us Americans.
Of course Trump voters and supporters deny this is the case. They will argue that this is “name calling.” That this is merely an attempt to marginalize them, to end the conversation. That just because you voted for Trump doesn’t mean you support each and every policy he promised, or you support each and every statement he ever made like “Mexico sends us it’s criminals and rapists”, that Gold Star Mother Ghazala Khan didn’t speak at the DNC because her religion “stopped her”, that Muslims should be banned and/or expelled from the country or else kept on a registry just in case, that sure every black person “could get shot” outside their front door, but not by police. And if they do it’s clearly their own damn fault. Sure, not all of them think that if Colin Kapernick wants to kneel before the flag he should do it in “another country” or that those who burn the flag should “lose their citizenship” — but they also don’t completely object to that idea no matter what the First Amendment says.
Not every Trump supporter wants Muslims out of the country, just most of them. At least according to Polls.
A poll conducted by Reuters and Ipsos in June and July looked at broad views on Islam, finding Trump supporters are more than twice as likely as Clinton supporters to have negative views of Islam. About 58 percent of Trump supporters said they have "somewhat unfavorable" or "very unfavorable" views of Islam, compared to 24 percent of Clinton supporters.
There has also been polling on people’s views of one of Trump’s most controversial proposals: to ban all Muslims from entering the US. Again, Trump supporters are very likely to support this idea. According to a poll from June by the Texas Politics Project, 76 percent of Republicans support the idea, versus 26 percent of Democrats. Notably, 44 percent of Democrats said they "strongly oppose" the idea, while just 6 percent of Republicans did.
And not all of them hate and fear Mexicans, just most of them.
First, the controversial comments that launched Trump’s campaign. At his very first campaign speech in 2015, Trump characterized Mexican immigrants as "rapists" who were "bringing crime" and "bringing drugs" to the US. A poll by Fox News asked voters back in July 2015 about these comments — and Republicans were much more likely to find them acceptable. About 70 percent said that, setting aside Trump’s wording, his comments were basically right, compared to 25 percent of Democrats. And a later poll by the Pew Research Center found about half of Trump supporters link undocumented immigrants to more crime than US citizens, versus 13 percent of Clinton supporters.
And not all them dislike black people, just most of them.
A poll from March and April by Reuters and Ipsos took a close look at this issue. It found that Trump supporters are more likely to say that, compared to white people, black people are viewed by Trump supporters as less intelligent, more lazy, more rude, more violent, and more criminal. About 40 to 50 percent of Trump supporters held at least one of these views, while fewer than 35 percent of Clinton supporters did.
So we have in each of these cases a majority of Trump voters and supporters who do fear and loath, at some level, immigrants, gays, muslims and blacks. We’re not making that up to make you guys look bad, this is how it is. Sorry. These are the facts.
Sure, Trump may say the words that he “rejects and condemns racism” but all the data shows by his own actions that he really doesn’t and most of his supporters don’t either. Clearly most of them don’t believe him when he says he “rejects bigotry” and if he can’t convince them, how’s he going to convince the rest of us, exactly? Until Stormfront takes him seriously on that, neither should anyone else.
Of course there are exceptions. There are those who disagree with these sentiments and may have only unwittingly agreed to them through their vote. They appear to be the minority of Trumpkins, but they are there and we it would be unfair to pretend they don’t exit. Certainly there are those who voted for Trump who would argue that they themselves are not racist in their thoughts, words or actions in any way what-so-ever. Unfortunately we’ve heard that from some people before, a lot of them.
People like former NBA team owner Donald Sterling who swears he’s not racist even after he lost ownership of the Clippers because of his demand that his girl friend not be seen in public at his basketball games with black guys.
DS: There's no racism here. If you don't want to be... walking... into a basketball game with a certain... person, is that racism?
And let’s not forget that one of the first people to come leaping to Don Sterling’s defense, was Donald Trump.
“He got set up by a very, very bad girlfriend, let’s face it,” Trump opined on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” Monday. “Let’s face it, that whole thing is — she’s called the girlfriend from hell,” Trump said.
“He could be out of it in terms of his actions,” Trump observed. “The way she led him along. He should know, if he were there, if he was with it, he would know after one or two of those questions that she was answering and asking that there’s something going on here.”
“You look at the way he’s being baited, just constantly being baited,” he added. “I read part of a transcript and it was ridiculous.”
Or people like Cliven Bundy, who after his little “let me tell you something about the negro” tirade went on to claim nothing he said was “Racist” because he has a very special black friend. Good for him.
Food network host Paula Deen repeatedly used the N-word to berate and criticize her black employees to their faces in addition to making them dress up as slaves to participate in little slave-era re-enactment dinners and she still claims “she’s not racist”, because that would just be “too much” right?
Did you know that David Duke and the KKK claim they aren’t racist either? They say they just want “American Values” to come back. This is from an interview he gave in 1999.
[Duke] was angry, he said, that children couldn't sing Christmas carols in public schools anymore, that an American citizen's right to bear arms was threatened and that many families were struggling to make ends meet....
Which sounds exactly like your basic Trumpkin until you get to this part.
Then he took the rhetoric further, abandoning common sense for a racist diatribe that would make most Americans, regardless of skin color, uneasy. Being African-American, I felt particularly uncomfortable.
"Diversity is destroying this country," he said, stroking the back of his white Maltese dog. "When you force races together, you end up creating a cultural clash, more animosity and ill will.”
So the basic issue is that his point is largely the same as Trump’s point. All your problems are the fault of them. Those people. Over there. Duke is just frankly more honest about who they are and why he feels that way about them than Trump is. So of course Duke endorses Trump, he’s the perfect surrogate for Duke’s agenda.
And then you have Milo Yiannopolous of newly minted White House aid Steve Bannon’s Breitbart.com — who sent so many ape pictures and racist diatribes to Leslie Jones of Saturday Night Live he was banned from twitter for life -— has repeatedly claimed that Richard Spencer and his merry band of “Heil Trump” Alt-Nazi saluters weren’t “Racist” when Speaker Paul Ryan said they were.
This is what Milo had to say about it.
First, the obvious: Ryan is so out-of-touch he can’t even get the alt-right’s name correct. Out of touch perhaps isn’t strong enough. Tall-Tale Paul is closer to the town fathers who banned dancing in Footloose. He doubled-down on his opinions in a Washington Post interview, where he at least got the name of the movement correct.
Second, he apes the language of the Left, agreeing that the alt-right are “white supremacists” and a “virulent strain” of “something that isn’t conservatism.” Using the language of the left like this, we can’t be far from Ryan parroting a 90s Hillary Clinton, bleating about the “vast right-wing conspiracy.”
No one should be surprised. Paul Ryan is perhaps the best representative of a class of Republican elites who have utter contempt for what ordinary members of the conservative movement think and believe. Basically, if you care about anything other than free markets and maybe rolling back the state, you aren’t a real conservative in their eyes. (The other membership requirements for this sort of Republican are a mobility scooter and a pacemaker.)
Ryan may have been somewhat clueless on the details honestly when he says the Alt-Conservative/Alt-Right/Alt-Nazi movement is not Conservative. It’s not what real Conservatives think. The problem is, that it is what conservatives think — as shown by the above polls — they just haven’t been willing to say it out loud before. Ryan was the one who called Donald Trump’s attack on Judge Curiel “textbook racism” , but now he seems content to work side-by-side, hand-in-glove with people who justified and rationalized exactly that kind of “textbook racism” . He's suddenly now willing to ignore the person who advanced their claims that they are at the center of a movement, not anyones “fringe”, perhaps because they — and you, the Trump movement — have left him no choice.
For some of us “Textbook Racism” is a deal breaker. That’s the end of all cooperation. There’s no appeasing racists, there’s no excusing or ignoring them because doing so only grants them greater and greater license for their racism. Even if they are like Donald Trump who claims he’s the “least racist person in the world”, as if we should just believe that without any evidence or explanation at all of how that’s even possible.
But if the case is that none of these people, not Bundy, not Deen, not Sterling, not Duke, not Trump, Milo, Bannon or Spencer are actual “Real Racists” — who is?
The argument seems to be that this is just Diet Racism-Lite with Zero Calories, not Racism-ThermoNuclear. And any racism less that the multi-megaton variety just doesn’t count. It’s just a momentary lapse, a mere “slip of the lip.” Just a whoopsie. Just cross your fingers and say “King’s X” and it never happened. See, all gone like a stain after Oxyclean. Poof.
The view presented here is that only real hardcore racists, should count as “Racist” — that’s exactly what Donald Trump’s son-in-law — who is the grandson of holocaust survivors — said in defense of allegations of Racism by Donald.
The allegations of anti-Semitism hit closer to home. In July, Trump tweeted a graphic of Hillary Clinton against a background of dollar bills and a six-pointed star that contained the words “most corrupt candidate ever,” an image that had allegedly originated on a white supremacist message board. Dana Schwartz, a reporter for Kushner’s Observer, wrote a widely read piece for the paper’s site urging her boss, given the prominence he places on his faith and family, to denounce the tweet. Kushner responded with an opinion piece that defended Trump using the same old line: that he knows Trump. “If even the slightest infraction against what the speech police have deemed correct speech is instantly shouted down with taunts of ‘racist,’ then what is left to condemn the actual racists?”
So we had “Foreign Bankers” which highly implies “Jewish”: Check. We had a Star of David — and, no it wasn’t a “Sheriff’s Star” those all have circles at the tips — which even more strongly implies “JEWISH!!”: Check. But sill not racism? Not Anti-Semetism? Nope, apparently that just isn’t racist enough for some people. Certainly not for Jared Kushner.
Who exactly are these “Actual Racists” he speaks of? What does it even mean to say someone is “Real” Racist? Do they have to be Anders Breivik, an Islamaphobe who killed 77 people or else it’s a wash? Do they have to be shoving people into an oven with their own hands to count? The guy holding the door open for him gets a pass? The guy who gave him the key doesn’t matter?
Perhaps if you painted Trump’s name with a Swastika incorporated into it? Perhaps if you had a very public screaming racial meltdown at Michaels and Peets Coffee? Post outrageous racial rants on Facebook when you’re a Pre-k teacher, or an Alabama Bank VP. Or perhaps yelling “Trump” as you racially attack an Ethiopian cab driver.
Yemaj Adem, an Ethiopian immigrant, described the rage he encountered last weekend after a man, later identified as Jacob David Holtzlander, jumped into his cab along with five women. Adem said he assumed Hotzlander was with the women, but later discovered otherwise.
According to Adem, Holtzlander—whom Adem said appeared drunk—became agitated when the cab driver informed him his offer of $10 would not be enough to complete the trip.
“The first punch, I was surprised,” Adem told mlive.com. “I’ve never experienced this from a fare. Five years now and I’ve never had an issue.”
“When I heard that Trump word, I knew this was something different,” he added.
Or attack a native born American girl of Egyptian descent on the subway.
Writing on Facebook, 18-year-old Yasmin Seweid claims she was waiting on the subway platform after leaving an event at Baruch College when she was accosted by the men who appeared to be in the early twenties and drunk, reports Gothamist.
In her own words, Seweid, described the encounter, saying she felt she should come forward after reporting the incident to the police and knowing it would appear in the press.
“I take the train every single day going to & coming from class, but yesterday, something happened that I never thought would happen to me, “she wrote. “I was harassed on the subway last night and it was just so dehumanizing I can’t speak about it without getting emotional. Three white racists ripped the straps off my bag & attempted to yank my hijab off my head. They yelled such disgusting slurs at me, I was so helpless and felt defenseless. ‘Look it’s a fucking terrorist’, ‘go back to your country’, “take that rag off your head’ and so many more. Trump’s name was repeatedly said & it finally clicked in my head. No matter how ‘cultured’ or ‘Americanized’ I am, these people don’t see me as an American.”
In an interview with the New York Daily News, Seweid explains that she was born in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to Egyptian parents, adding, “I born and raised in this country. I’m an American, you know?
Or an Oregon City Councilman who says he’s not racist for sharing a video of motorist running down black people, people who criticize him are.
“You’re promoting racial intimidation and harassment and possibly murder,” said Teressa Raiford, lead organizer for Don’t Shoot Portland. “Ask him to resign or just go ahead and get done with him.
…
Benjamin insisted the post had nothing to do with race and accused his critics of being the real racists.
“To infer I’m a racist is actually racist,” Benjamin said.
And there it is. The counter racial claim. “I’m not a racist, you are — because you dared to point out the ridiculously bigoted thing I said, or supported, advocated or did, was possibly racist! It wasn’t racist until you said something about it, so it’s not my fault.” Which of course, is bullshit.
Pointing out racism, isn’t racism — it’s the first step in fighting racism.
Now, I will definitely agree that sometimes people get accused of racism far too quickly and far too easily. Yeah, that’s a real problem. Some people are hyper-sensitive too it and pull the trigger too soon. That’s what some people call “playing the race” card, however it could be argued that this can be an honest mistake or over-reaction in response to the many neo-racists who abjectly deny their own words or actions. Honestly, we people in the minority really do get it when it comes to being wrongfully accused so I fully understand how the core of the modern alt-Right/neo-Nazi movement may stem largely as an angry reaction to people being wrongfully and repeatedly accused of racism without merit. I get that, I truly do. I get how they revel in rubbing it in the face of “political correctness” and are over-the-moon with giddiness over the freedom to be loud frackhole bigots in public that the rise of Trump has finally granted them.
But It’s also only natural to not take at face value the denials of most people who occasionally say or do something bigoted, because we all know that if they admit anything they’re making themselves ultimately culpable and liable for their actions. Just as this Trump supporter denied her racism and blamed it all on Obama until she then opened her mouth on camera and was forced to resign as GOP County chair. Sometime people who let out little slips of something slightly, possibly racist, are actually hiding much more racism behind their denials. Usually admitting it or displaying it openly comes with a price tag. Still.
“If you’re black and you haven’t been successful in the last 50 years, it’s your own fault. You’ve had every opportunity, it was given to you,” she said.
“You’ve had the same schools everybody else went to. You had benefits to go to college that white kids didn’t have. You had all the advantages and didn’t take advantage of it. It’s not our fault, certainly.”
Miller also called the Black Lives Matter movement “a stupid waste of time” and said lower voter turnout among African Americans could be related to “the way they’re raised”.
Her comments risk further alienating African American voters from Trump in the crucial swing state. No Republican president has reached the White House without also winning Ohio, a state in which 12.7% of the population is black.
…
Miller added: “I don’t think there was any racism until Obama got elected. We never had problems like this ... Now, with the people with the guns, and shooting up neighborhoods, and not being responsible citizens, that’s a big change, and I think that’s the philosophy that Obama has perpetuated on America.”
Miller dismissed the suggestion that Trump was exploiting racist or prejudiced views among some voters as “the media making stuff up”. Instead, she said of the Republican nominee: “He’s very willing to talk about issues that have never been discussed publicly.”
What we have now is the situation that the liars, deniers and clueless have brought us to.
Thieves and murderers also deny everything they’re suspect of, even when you find stolen goods in their house and a body on their living room floor, it doesn’t mean that we just drop the issue as soon as they hastily claim “I’m the least murdery person in the world”. Not when there’s literally a 40-year-long trail of murder-ish statements and actions on their record. Just because someone denies their crime doesn’t mean we then go on to ignore that crime. If we did that, we all know we’d have nothing but more of exactly that crime. If we said nothing and did nothing, we’d simply embolden those criminals.
When it comes to Trump and his supporters we’re not talking about one teeny-tiny minor incident. It’s been dozens. From saying “I don’t like black people handing my money” to the Central Park Five, “You’ll get shot”, Mexican Rapists and banning Muslims. So many things. There’s been one thing after another going all the way back to he 1960’s when Donald’s father Fred openly said “I Don’t Rent to Niggers!” while Don stood there and didn’t raise a word of objection. He only nodded in agreement. Trump’s opponents aren’t “making this up”, this is the confirmed record.
This is in addition to the fact that Fred Trump was previously arrested at a Klan Riot.
On Memorial Day 1927, brawls erupted in New York led by sympathizers of the Italian fascist movement and the Ku Klux Klan. In the fascist brawl, which took place in the Bronx, two Italian men were killed by anti-fascists. In Queens, 1,000 white-robed Klansmen marched through the Jamaica neighborhood, eventually spurring an all-out brawl in which seven men were arrested.
One of those arrested was Fred Trump of 175-24 Devonshire Rd. in Jamaica.
This is Donald Trump's father. Trump had a brother named Fred, but he wasn't born until more than a decade later. The Fred Trump at Devonshire Road was the Fred C. Trump who lived there with his mother, according to the 1930 Census.
The predication for the Klan to march, according to a flier passed around Jamaica beforehand, was that "Native-born Protestant Americans" were being "assaulted by Roman Catholic police of New York City." "Liberty and Democracy have been trampled upon," it continued, "when native-born Protestant Americans dare to organize to protect one flag, the American flag; one school, the public school; and one language, the English language."
So it’s not just one little thing. It’s a long generational record of bias.
It’s simply not credible that the minority of Trump voters who may not harbor racial animous or motives of their own are completely and totally unaware of the existence of that animus among so many others including Trump. At best that is blind ignorance, at worse it’s willful denial.
But ignorance is frankly, no excuse.
No, the media is not “making this up”. It’s not hype. If you can stand by while someone openly espouses clearly and obviously bigoted arguments for policies which will have a definitely bigoted and biased impact — you are an aider and abetter of that racism. You are a co-conspirator. You are an accomplice. That may be infuriating to hear just as Trump’s own campaign staff were incensed by similar accusations by Clinton staffers, but that is exactly the case. Just as Donald stood by as his father proclaimed “I don’t rent to Niggers” — you are at the least standing by, at the worse endorsing and enabling his racism with your willful silence, even moreso for those who use twisted non-factual denials and minimization of the racism brought by your vote.
You. Own. This.
And the rest of are not going to just magically forget it. Nope. This stain is permanent. And many of us will never be able to forgive it, particularly when most of you can’t even admit it honestly. You’ve betrayed us, you've betrayed America and it’s core values. You need to take responsibility for that.
If you agree with Tami Lahren, there is no real difference between those who are members of and supporters of a movement in general and those who choose to take unlawful and violent action on behalf of that movement. It’s all the same to her. That’s exactly the attitude she has about Black Lives Matter and the anti-Trump protest movement, so why exactly doesn’t that apply to Trump supporters and those who have attacked, harassed and terrorize minorities in Trump’s name? Aren’t they all just as culpable?
Later in the segment, Noah asked Lahren if she’s intentionally trying to be incendiary with her claims, particularly her assertion that Black Lives Matter is the new Ku Klux Klan.
She listed off examples of Black Lives Matter protests turning violent adding, “When that now becomes the narrative and you’re starting to loot, burn and riot: What did the KKK do?”
“Did you say, ‘What did the KKK do?’” Noah replied. “Wow.”
So Black Lives Matter is like the KKK who openly terrorized the nation for a century and murdered over 4,000 Americans, eh? Again, I’m sympathetic to the complaints of those who are wrongfully blamed by those who overstate their case, those who over accuse and point too many fingers in too many directions, but this is patently ridiculous.
A few people, a couple times have said some rude shit from Black Lives Matter or associated with them — yes, there were cop killing shooters in New York and Dallas but both of them were critics of BLM for being too passive as we’re the people who chanted “What do we want, Dead Cops” and both of them still fall short of Dylan Storm Roof or the thousands of black people who are unjustly stopped, searched, harassed and assaulted by cops and the unarmed hundreds killed by them every year — but that kind of violent sentiment has never come from the leadership and prime members of BLM. The rioters are the fringe, not the core which has repeatedly denounced violence.
But that was then, this is now. Now Trump has been elected.
There’s no real reason to split hairs between the kinda-sorta semi-racist stuff and the really harsh over-the-top racist language and actions because as shown… all of it is being denied equally anyway. Every bit of it. Right to our faces as if we’re blind. From David Duke to Don Sterling to people screaming in Michaels and another 800 incidents of intimidation and violence that have occurred since the election. None of them ever own up to it, all of them think they’re the “real” victim. Even when someone shoots an unarmed ex-NFL player to death in the street, all he has to do is claim he “felt threatened” and he walks away free. Again.
We’re not talking about an equal situation where each position has peaceful protesters with a legitimate grievance versus those who’ve gone violent on both sides because racist justifications aren’t legitimate by definition. These aren’t equal and opposite reactions. Not even close.
And frankly if your argument is that you only choose to ignore and support bigotry when it’s for your own personal financial gain — that’s even worse. How many shekels, drachmas and pieces of gold did you sell out your fellow Americans for? Let’s get real about this.
Now, many people did claim they voted for Obama twice, so how could they be racist? Yet their feeds are full of hatred towards Mexicans, Muslims, and black communities — not all, but most.
Racism is where we have to draw the line and the truth is very simple: You either supported racism, allowed racism, or are indifferent to it. But it all gets painted with the same brush.
If I knowingly bought stolen goods from a thief, nobody would hesitate to call me a criminal.
There’s no real pretending you guys don’t know what you did. It was purposeful. It was planned. This was the “White-lash” in response to two terms by a scary black Democrat president. Even if the issue was mostly economic and class based rather than racial for some, the point remains. You still knowingly fracked your fellow Americans for your own benefit. Pretending that isn’t the case doesn’t make it not the case.
In the end, this election wasn’t about whether Hillary Clinton’s emails were illegal, that’s all smoke. It wasn’t about whether or not coal jobs would come back, they can’t.
No, this election was for the soul of America.
It was about racism. It was about the CEO’s taking 937% increases in salary and giving you only 5.7% since the late 1970’s. It was about raising the minimum wage to a living wage so people in the working-class could live a little better, and make what they deserve. It was about healthcare not bankrupting parents of kids with cancer.
We failed. On every single level. You actually listened to the CEO’s that won’t give you a raise so they can get one themselves. You listened when they told you that only teenagers were meant to work fast food jobs, and it’s not meant to be for adults.
According to the Center for Economic and Policy Research, 70% of fast-food workers are adults over 20.
You listened to Big Pharma when they blamed Obama for their rising premiums instead of knowing that now, if you have a pre-existing condition you can’t be denied.
You want to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to get rid of illegal immigrants, but refuse to put the money in public schools.
Banning Muslims and tracking them was met with cheers from Trump supporters without seeing the irony of a campaign with a Nazi slogan tagging and tracking Americans. It was said there was precedent because there were Japanese internment camps.
Everyone cheered on the right when Donald Trump stated he would repeal every single Obama executive order as soon as he was sworn in, without knowing that most of these give federal workers a fairer wage than the market, protect national security, and the rights of people around the world.
If you voted for Trump you voted for classism, racism, resentment and hate. That was a racist, bigoted, spiteful act.
If you rationalize racism with a pile of bogus bigoted statistical manipulation, I’ve got no sympathy for you — you chose to believe a pack of lies designed, again, to lay blame at the feet of others. If you told yourself you did it for other reasons you got sold a bill of goods. If you thought Trump would fight for you, against us, against Big Pharma, again Corporate Cronyism and against the “Swamp” — the fact is he’s not one of you and he’s not about to do that. He’s one of them. He’s appointed a huge pile of anti-Semite enablers, homophobes, Islamophobes and now a Wall Street Bankster who helped fleece Main street as Treasury Secretary. You’ve been scammed. You’ve been conned. Most of you did it either because of racial resentment, financial resentment or both. Yes, of course there’s a difference but when the end result is the same that difference is moot. The racism and bigotry was obvious and thick but it didn’t matter to you, you averted your eyes and did it still.
The rest of us know why, the rest of us can see you now — there’s no more hiding, the secret is out.
This isn’t name calling or scapegoating. This is cause and effect. Choice and result. There’s no coming back from that without first admitting what you’ve done. Quit pretending and lying to yourself. I know you’ll probably feel better once you finally come out. Just get it over with so we can finally start really talking and dealing with you. No political correctness, no safe spaces. Real, free speech.
Let see if you can handle it out in the open like the rest of us have been the entire time.
Best of luck, you’re gonna need it.
