I wish I had something wry or snarky to say, but... I feel like a lot more people are going to get hurt because of this. This is really, really bad.

In the short term, yes. Long term, I almost feel like something like this has to happen. I genuinely believe it's been brewing and simmering and heating up since the 2000 election on some level. I'm not Prester Jane, but yeah.

Prester Jane posted:

Trump follows a set pattern pretty rigidly. I posted this back on August 2nd when a few goons were worried that Kelly might somehow bring competence to the Trump WH because early on he seemed to have things in hand::


I want to double emphasize the bolded bit here.The meltdown that is brewing In Trumps malfunctioning brain will eclipse everything we have seen thus far.

Trump folding to Kelly like he did is the sort of thing I have only seen a narcissist do when they were under extreme pressure and they desperately need some space to recharge their psychological batteries. (Thus Trumps vacation shortly after Kelly came on board.) Once those batteries are finished recharging we are going to see Trump drop the nice guy mask and start really trying to incite his followers into violently murdering anyone he feels animosity towards. (Or just any target really, so long as he gets the rush of power from feeling that he caused other people to do violence in his name Trump really does't give a gently caress who gets hurt.)

He just openly supported white supremacy. You can't really duck this one.

Two questions for every GOP town hall between now and 2020:

1. Do you support the President's comments on white nationalists?
2. If the answer to 1 is "no", what do you plan to do about it?

Killing Trump's movement isn't just about Trump himself, it's about the party that's aiding and abetting his views.

If the Nazis hold a rally anywhere this coming weekend like they have been planning one of them (the Nazis I mean) is going to be lynched. There won't be any way to control the kind of counter protests that are going to come out to face them.

Cities and towns will be CRAZY to not shut down any Nazi rally before it happens. Because if it does happen people will die.

There are apparently 9 nazi rallies planned this weekend

I mean one of the nazis at the rally had been arrested for stealing 45 pounds of C4 and an anti-aircraft gun and he wasn't even caught for 3 years so it can't be that hard.

Nope, Nostradamus has been thoroughly debunked, last I heard. Prester Jane's been hitting 99/100 pretty much so far.

Seriously, look at her Decoding Authoritarians thread if you haven't already- practically everything she's said about Trump and Co. has been correct. About the only thing she wasn't right about was Trump winning, and that was because she was optimistic about the number of Narrativists (read: Cultists and Nazis) in the country.

This. People complain about The Intercept a lot in this thread, but Medhi Hassan put up a good article today:

quote:

Over the next four decades, Trump burnished his reputation as a bigot: he was accused of ordering “all the black [employees] off the floor” of his Atlantic City casinos during his visits; claimed “laziness is a trait in blacks” and “not anything they can control”; requested Jews “in yarmulkes” replace his black accountants; told Bryan Gumbel that “a well-educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white in terms of the job market”; demanded the death penalty for a group of black and Latino teenagers accused of raping a jogger in Central Park (and, despite their later exoneration with the use of DNA evidence, has continued to insist they are guilty); suggested a Native American tribe “don’t look like Indians to me”; mocked Chinese and Japanese trade negotiators by doing an impression of them in broken English; described undocumented Mexican immigrants as “rapists”; compared Syrian refugees to “snakes”; defended two supporters who assaulted a homeless Latino man as “very passionate” people “who love this country”; pledged to ban a quarter of humanity from entering the United States; proposed a database to track American Muslims that he himself refused to distinguish from the Nazi registration of German Jews; implied Jewish donors “want to control” politicians and are all sly negotiators; heaped praise on the “amazing reputation” of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who has blamed America’s problems on a “Jewish mafia”; referred to a black supporter at a campaign rally as “my African-American”; suggested the grieving Muslim mother of a slain U.S. army officer “maybe … wasn’t allowed” to speak in public about her son; accused an American-born Hispanic judge of being “a Mexican”; retweeted anti-Semitic and anti-black memes, white supremacists, and even a quote from Benito Mussolini; kept a book of Hitler’s collected speeches next to his bed; declined to condemn both David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan; and spent five years leading a “birther” movement that was bent on smearing and delegitimizing the first black president of the United States, who Trump also accused of being the founder of ISIS.

Oh and remember: we knew all of this before he was elected president of the United States of America. He was elected in spite of all this (yet another reminder that “not all Trump supporters are racist, but all of them decided that racism isn’t a deal-breaker”).

Yeah. I read that as her getting swept up in the moment, saluting Trump in the least appropriate way possible, and then quickly converting it into something more palatable for the crowd.

I don't know if it was an intentional tweak at us snowflakes, a plausibly deniable salute to the worst of the right, or just a wretched instinctual response, but I definitely don't blame anyone for raising an eyebrow at the optics.
