"This represents a sharp rise from 2019, when just 21 percent of Republicans said that this increasing racial and ethnic diversity was threatening. Back then, Republicans said by a 48-point margin that it was actually more enriching than threatening.
So, from 21 percent in 2019, to 41 percent last year, to 55 percent today."

"A new CNN poll showed that a majority of the Republican Party now agrees that 'an increasing number of people of many different races, ethnic groups, and nationalities in the U.S.' is mostly threatening (55 percent) rather than enriching (45 percent) to American culture."

"The Republican party is always going to struggle to disassociate itself from cranks and racists. But it becomes futile even to try when a racist crank sits atop the party as god-emperor."

Trump Walked So Clay Higgins Could Run
The only notable thing about the congressman’s racist tweet was that his GOP colleagues bothered to admit it was horrible.William Kristol (The Bulwark)
"Higgins has styled himself a 'Cajun John Wayne,' which again is code for 'willing to commit violence in the name of white justice.' The GOP is now openly racist and proud of it, but the hate and violence was always just on simmer, ready to boil over as soon as the heat could be turned back up by a demagogue like Trump."

"As the Washington Post reported, back in 2016 Higgins, the 'brash, outspoken captain of the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s office' in Louisiana, resigned after appearing in a video calling a group of predominantly black gang members 'animals,' 'thugs' and 'heathens.'
Higgins’s behavior is part of a long pattern of using his office to promote racism, violence and lies."

Kuo notes:
"Higgins also has a telling, disturbing past in law enforcement, having had to resign twice from different police forces. The first was from the Opelousas police force in 2007 after assaulting an unarmed Black man and lying about it. ….
The second incident bears remarkable similarity to his tweet yesterday that created a political storm."

"In his decade as the leader of the Republican Party, Donald Trump has been steadily reshaping the Southern Strategy into something different than it was. It’s still about fear and resentment, but the relative importance of anti-Black resentment and anti-immigrant resentment has flipped. And there’s good reason to believe the new strategy will endure well after Trump departs."

“'The whole secret to politics,' Nixon aide Kevin Phillips, the architect of the 'Southern Strategy,' told author Gary Wills in 1968, is 'who hates who.' But hatred is not merely organic; while it arises on its own, it can also be cultivated and directed."

"As a brown-skinned Muslim man and son of immigrants who come from 'shit hole countries,' I don’t have the time, privilege or luxury of many of my white corporate media colleagues to play Taboo and sanewash Trump’s clear and convincing history of bigotry."

This NYS trooper flipped out and ended up terrorizing a black family and ultimately murdering an 11-yo girl a few miles from my house. And then covered it up. I’ve been following the case closely.
Charges were dismissed earlier but were just reinstated. #acab #police #racism

2 elementary #schools were #evacuated & 2 local #colleges moved their classes online as a result of the #threats, & a festival has been canceled as a #safety precaution. DeWine, a #Republican, said many of the threats "are coming in from overseas" from people (opportunists who have latched onto #Trump’s #racism) who want to fuel #discord. Most of the #Haitian #immigrants in the US are here legally under US programs, even as #Trump says he would deport them "back to Venezuela."
“When people ask me… What’s gonna happen if the Flip-Flopping, Laughing Hyena Wins?” Zuchowski wrote, referring to #Harris. “I say... write down all the addresses of the people who had her signs in their yards!
“Sooo... when the Illegal human ‘Locust’ (which she supports!) Need places to live... We’ll already have the addresses of the their New families...who supported their arrival!”

Residents who spoke to the county’s local paper, The Portager, said the sheriff’s request was “not normal” & “scary.” Others feared for their loved ones safety.
“My parents are elderly & have been very politically active #Democrats,” a resident told the paper. “I am afraid for them now. I don’t want to scare them or suggest they take down their signs, but I am sick to my stomach w/worry.”
