So why has Trump come out with these vitriolic racist comments??
- He’s deliberately trying to ramp up the division
- He trying to stir up his base
- He’s trying to paint all democrats as extremists
- He’s suggesting Democrats don’t love their country
- He’s using hate as an activator
- He’s trying to suggest that the Democrats are not true Americans
- He’s deliberately planting negative subliminal messages about terrorism, immigrants, and Islam into the minds of his base
- He’s trying to associate the Democrats with the more extreme views
This is precisely what the fascists did.
Will he get away with it?
Yes he might. He will connect with the fears of a lot of Americans who believe these things. He is pumping them up.
What will be the outcome?
More division. More hatred. More power to racists and fascists.
What should we do?
Oppose this vile strategy as much as we can. Using race in these un-presidential tweets is repulsive and simply wrong. Never in modern times have we seen such crass behaviour!! All right-minded people should be sickened!
Trump is really desperately trawling the depths. The saddest thing is that so many Americans agree with him.
