"What is happening in Springfield, Ohio is not merely a distraction from the Right’s plutocratic agenda – although they certainly care about that as well; it’s not just a campaign tactic – although they do seem to think that violent chaos will help them win in November. This is the manifestation of the Right’s defining political project. And a preview of what is to come if they get back to power."

Blood and Soil
The Right is committed to preserving America as a white Christian homeland. They are determined to purge the nation and radically redraw the boundaries of the body politic.Thomas Zimmer (Democracy Americana)

It is an artifact of an era when neo-Nazis were a small and highly marginalized group. That is no longer the case, and Trump is one of the people who let them out of that box."

in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •Donald Trump didn’t get into politics to govern; he got into politics to enjoy unfettered power, which he believed would bring him admiration and respect. But there are three issues he does actually seem to care about: Immigration, crime, and the economy. And his immigration plans are among the most dangerous.

What Trump Means For: Immigration
Jill FilipovicWilliam Lindsey :toad:
in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •"A new Scripps News/Ipsos poll surveyed voters about what they thought of Trump’s plan, asking if they 'support the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants.' Fifty-four percent of respondents either 'strongly' or 'somewhat support' the policy. This includes '86% of Republicans, 58% of independents, and 25% of Democrats.'”

The stark reality of mass deportation

in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •"Donald Trump staged his first rally on Wednesday night since the second apparent attempt on his life, telling his supporters in New York that 'these encounters with death' had made him stronger and attributing his survival to divine intervention.
'God has now spared my life. It must have been God, not once, but twice,' Trump said to raucous cheers from the crowd in the Nassau Coliseum in the Long Island suburbs."
