The fact that Trump has a good chance to return to the presidency is a devastating indictment not only of the GOP and the Right more broadly, but also of America’s deeply unhealthy political culture, profoundly undemocratic political system, and brutally ineffective and/or complicit political elite.
Well, Trump has finally just come out and described immigrants to the U.S. as genetically inferior. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
With a mish-mash of false claims about crime and ridiculous race science, Trump makes explicit the racism at the heart of his politics.
Don’t misread this as a way of exculpating Trump’s voters: We should take them seriously and assume they know who and what they are supporting. They should be held accountable for their political decisions. Trump’s rise is a devastating indictment of significant portions of U.S. society as well.
Trump's rhetoric is the racist rhetoric of a 21st century American Hitler. If he gets back in the White House, he will be the first American führer and will never leave as long as he breathes
and mainstream journalism.
And the media. Don’t forget the media. But you knew that.
Half of the electorate support this. That's truly indicting and frightening.
Also, brutally ineffective and/or complicit corporate media.
also, white people as a voting bloc
Don’t forget the media elites, which happily makes it all possible!
