Yes, hate and racism have always been there. but more than revealing it, Trump has legitimized it.
Hate crimes are up, White supremacists rolls are increasing, racist tropes are viral,... this is not just being exposed, it is increasing.
Trump is more than just a symbol of hate, he is an instigator.
...but even if he was just a symbolic leader,.. is that what we want?
People are walking around with hate proudly emblazoned on t-shirts and hats and flags in support of Trump. They're being sold at his rallies.
Trump and racist hate have become synonymous. To display it is to support Trump.
Is this the American ideal?
That shining city on the hill hasn't just been tarnished, it's been bombed to hell.
How disgusting.
MAGA
Perfect example of hate.......which, begets......
hate.
You want your perception, your beliefs, your views, to be the ultimate
truth, as does ISIS, the Crusaders, etc.....anyone in opposition, is the
infidel.......
And thus any actions needed to bring them to heed, is justified......
The folly of
ANYBODY thinking they hold such unmitigated power is really quite obvious why its not sustainable.....
But apparently it also escapes many, or perhaps their being is so invested as such, any challenge to it can only be repelled with total annihilation of any perceived threats to it.....
Sure....MAGA reads
exactly as you project.....
Anybody who promotes it is a racist....period, sorta like all Blacks are on welfare, Gay men are all pedophiles, etc....
No.....maybe some see it as a time when the middle class was strong.....
When community was a matter of pride.
When folks didn't fear "newcomers" into their neighborhood, but welcomed them.....
When schools produced a product that would allow the graduates to continue the
upward climb on the economic ladder.......etc.
Lots of good things to desire, and yes, there was lots of
wrong thinking, promotions, and social inequities in those days too....
However, we can focus on the
fact those same deficits upon our social fabric, is no longer
staining it, as it did back then......
For to say it stands for
that, and desires to go
back, to that, means society, socially, and even legally, we have moved
past those ideas, beliefs, etc...... if we are to go....
back.
That does not make any reasonable sense.....chicken little sky is falling down, mentality.
Extremely dishonest and disingenuous, actually, pretty lame and dumb.
