So Donnie is effective at accomplishing something. MAGA!
Or rather, MAORA! (make America openly racist again)
FBI: 17% Spike In Hate Crimes In 2017 Marks Rise For 3rd Year In A Row
And what could possibly account for that, boys and girls? It is a true conundrum.
Deplorable. Simply deplorableâŚ
This is the result of â ĐŻâmp 's hate, 110% on him. He gave license for the racists to act out their views since they no longer feel alone and isolated. They have come together and can attend the current version of cross burning (MAGA rallies) and rally with like minded people.
The press really ought to be much rougher on Trump about his rallies, put his supporters on TV, not Trump. Let their hate show. That is the news.
and P.s. â ĐŻâmp 's racist administration has not only caused hate crimes to surge, it has also hurt the USâs competitiveness. For example, today the annual report of foreign enrollment in US colleges came out. new enrollments are down to 272K from 301K in the last year of Obama. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/report-finds-new-foreign-students-are-dwindling-renewing-questions-about-possible-trump-effect-on-enrollment/2018/11/12/7b1bac92-e68b-11e8-a939-9469f1166f9d_story.html?utm_term=.b6c0627d06f5 There are similar things going on with tourism, but CBP is trying not to release the figures. These things damage the economy.
Hate crimes began before moron, think OK City bombing, Waco, Ruby Ridge, etc. but have accelerated because he encourages it. In 2009 HHS issued a report about domestic terrorism, it got shot down by right wingers.
White supremacists and other far-right extremists have killed far more people since Sept. 11, 2001, than any other category of domestic extremist. The Anti-Defamation Leagueâs Center on Extremism has reported that 71 percent of the extremist-related fatalities in the United States between 2008 and 2017 were committed by members of the far right or white-supremacist movements. Islamic extremists were responsible for just 26 percent. Data compiled by the University of Marylandâs Global Terrorism Database shows that the number of terror-related incidents has more than tripled in the United States since 2013, and the number of those killed has quadrupled. In 2017, there were 65 incidents totaling 95 deaths. In a recent analysis of the data by the news site Quartz, roughly 60 percent of those incidents were driven by racist, anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic, antigovernment or other right-wing ideologies. Left-wing ideologies, like radical environmentalism, were responsible for 11 attacks. Muslim extremists committed just seven attacks.
âNo, no, Iâm not a racist. I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed,â Trump said in Florida.
âI am the least anti-Semitic person that youâve ever seen in your entire life,â Trump said Thursday at his first solo White House faceoff with the media since taking office.
The alleged FBI report is obviously more false data put out by the Deep State and reported by the Fake News to discredit the duly elected POS.
I donât disagree that white racist hate has been around for a while, I grew up in part in the South. However, since the 90s and into the 2000s, most people who were racist kept it to themselves. It was acceptable to spout anti-gay bigotry, but not religious or anti-black bigotry. (note i am not including the âEnglish onlyâ movement by republicans).
However, republicans were careful to keep (mostly) within some lines. Reagan would go to Mississippi, but you would not see him meeting with the David Dukes of the world, nor retweeting them.
What has changed IMHO is the willingness of the republicans to go down the slippery slope away from dog whistles into out and out racism. That is what has changed, and is causing those who are out and out racists to now be âLoud and Proudâ and that in turn causes them to commit crimes in private. Put another way, I donât see Charlottesville happening in the 90s or 2000-2016.
The Trump Effect.â˘
âWeâre not saying Mr. Trump is a racist, weâre saying that racists think youâre a racist.â
h/t to Andrew Gillum
Iâm not happy to have to say the Federal government wussed out long ago in getting real with going after white domestic terrorists beginning with calling them that instead of the too polite âextremists.â Theyâve been empowered in a million ways social media being one of them.
Moron was the leader they were waiting for, and short of having pitched battles every time right wingers show up at a demonstration with antifa going after them, this is what weâre going to see from now on. As in forever.
Race based attacks were pretty damn rare in Minnesota until Trump took racism mainstream. November 2015, a white woman in a Coon Rapids Applebeeâs swung a heavy glass beer mug into a Somalian womanâs face causing her to need 17 stitches because the woman was angry she was speaking a foreign language. There were 4 children at the table at the time.
So much for Minnesota nice. Actually, that was pretty much a myth anyway.
I hope not. The republicans went in the direction of divide and conquer starting with Newt in 1994. That Newt was a southerner was emblematic. Currently the republican party provides a home for hatred, and social media/right wing media (aided by the Russians) has provided a platform for hate.
However, I am optimistic that over time, major corporations that do not want to be associated with racism and hate will pull way from supporting right wing media and that social media companies will crack down, and that pressure from the left will call out those who indirectly support racism. Historically, this is what happened in the 80s and 90s in the ânew southâ business decided that racism was an impediment to economic growth.
it will take a while, but Trumpâs overtly racist appeal worked once (in 2016) in the face of a weak candidate who was wounded by the media playing the âboth sides are equalâ game and frankly ran a shitty campaign. However, this years election (where Dâs added 5.5% or so to Clintonâs 2% margin in 2016) shows the limits of the racist appeal. Another two years of demographics, plus the typically higher turn out in a presidential year when the D candidate can drive turnout nationwide, and I think Trump and his party get wiped out in 2020. Then I think the republicans have a reckoning about going along with Racism, much like the democrats had to do in the early 60âs.
Trump really knows how to motivate âthe baseâ, doesnât he.
Only 68 days until 1/20/19!
On the 21st weâll see the beginning of the end of Trumpâs fat white ass. Heâll be longing for the good old days, of swindling investors and stiffing contractors and grabbing womenâŚ
Gee., I wonder what spurred them?
I think the House changes Jan 2 or 3.
