“We need smart, well-educated white people who will assimilate to our culture”

Paul LePage helpfully explains that while D-Money, Smoothie, and Shifty may very well be white AND HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST HE EVER IMPLIED OTHERWISE, they have not assimilated to our culture by taking on good ol’ American names like Marco, Rand, or Reince.

Wonder if FOX will ask Trump what he thinks of the White Nationalist support in Thursday’s GOP debate. And what Trump might respond. Could be fun.

We are at a point now in which inequality is so pronounced that Americans, clinging to social conceptions and metaphors of a bygone era, figure that identification as a racist is a step up.

On the call, Taylor said that the U.S. should only accept “immigrants who are good for America.”

“We need smart, well-educated white people who will assimilate to our culture," he said. "Vote Trump.”

And, of course, Rump has no idea how this will backfire on him bigtime when he goes national. This sort of unveiled, blatant racism will play well in certain states (and even then, in certain areas) but, on the whole, I don’t think it will. Especially the young White people who listen to D-Money, Smoothie, and Shifty’s tunes on Spotify. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

You’d think someone in Trump’s inner circle would take him aside and say, “Really, Donald? White supremacists? C’mon!” Or not, if his candidacy is a lark, as I’ve occasionally suspected it is.

Johnson, who also told TPM that he thought America needed to have a “separate white ethno-state,” said he believed Trump’s immigration proposals were realistic.

Enjoy it now, Trump, during the primary season – it does seem to resonate with your kind. After the primary season and you’re up against Hillary Clinton, one-to-one, this sort of endorsement and assistance will be an albatross.

I believe a good-sized majority of Americans who do vote will not pull the lever for anyone who welcomes this sort of endorsement and assistance or even at best just keeps his mouth shut about what it all means. To the contrary, I believe this will energize many centrists and left-leaners along with your usual progressives and staunch Democrats. Unless Donald Trump comes out strong against what this group represents and states he does not want those voters–which I fully expect him not to shun them–he will live to regret it during the general election. Democratic strategists need to be taking notes.

So – to belong, you have to have your genome done first. Which will show a sizable portion “defiled” – especially if you come from the south.

And of course, “We don’t want the Irish!”

I’ve been saying for months that Trump never intended for it to go this far, but has simply found that he is unable to “crazy” himself out of the race. There are too many nut-jobs that consider themselves to be his base.

Big-time Bingo! These assholes would likely shit their pants and fall into a deep depression when they got the news how “defiled” their family history has been all along. LOL.

Will Trump disassociate himself from this group? If not (and that seems most likely ) he should be hammered every day by media, other republicans, and the Democratic Party daily.

Even if he were to disassociate himself from this group he is already to slow and can be criticized for not reacting.

Agreed. If Trump were going to do anything of the sort, he needed to have done it immediately upon learning what these groups were up to in Iowa last week. Trump has all but welcomed with open arms their endorsement. Stained, he is.

“Johnson, who also told TPM that he thought America needed to have a ‘separate white ethno-state’…”

So when all the “smart, well-educated” white immigrants intermarry with the white supremacists already there, their mixed intelligence children will be made fun of and called “half-wits”, half-stupids, stupid-by-halfs, half-dumb-dumbs, IQ-mongrelled and wit-me-nots.

This is a big day. If you are a white Republican (is there any other kind?), and you once bought into the “Shining City on a Hill” and “A Thousand Points of Lights” themes that were once remotely associated with your brand, then you know that that train just left the station on its last run.

A storm of Robo-Calls to soften them up, then a blizzard of fax machine junk mail to break their will, and then a deluge of chain e-mail messages to finish 'em off. It’s a classic “astroturf” (fake grassroots) campaign…from the early 1990’s. Pretty worthless back then, and strictly entertainment value now.
