HOW TRUMP TOOK CONTROL OF HATE

Donald Trump may be the last hope for a President who would be good for white people. Huh ya say? Trump is the first Presidential candidate from a major party ever to earn his support because he’s talking about policies that would slow the deficit of white people. That’s something that’s very important to me and to all racially conscious Black folk. The success of the racist Trump campaign just proves that his views resonate with millions. His supporters might not be ready for the Ku Klux Klan yet,  but as anti-white hatred escalates, they surely will. The cheetoed one didn’t become the object of white nationalist affection simply because his positions reflect their core concerns. Right Wing-Extremists made him their chosen candidate and now hail him as "Emperor Trump" because he has AMPED UP their RACIST message on social media—and, perhaps most importantly, has damn near broken his neck to avoid distancing himself from the racist right. With the exception of David Duke, Trump has not disavowed one single endorsement from the dozens of neo-Nazis, Klansmen, white nationalists, and militia supporters who have backed him. Trump, along with his family members, staffers, and silly ass surrogates, has instead provided an unprecedented platform for the ideas and rhetoric of far-right extremists, extending their reach exponentially. And when challenged on it by the weak ass press, Trump has stalled, looked duffus, acted ignorant, or deflected—but has never specifically rejected any of these other extremists or their ideas. Wonder why? Trump’s stance has thrilled and emboldened hate groups far more than people think. Moreover, Trump's openness and welcoming of these hate groups into mainstream American politics will have long-lasting consequences regardless of the election outcome. Those right-wing fringe talk radio shows and dozens of posts on influential hate sites tells me that what has largely been portrayed by the media as Trump "gaffes" has instead been understood by far-right extremists as a love for Emperor Trump! The racist right-wing zeal for Trump went crazy after his decision in August to hire a new campaign boss, Stephen Bannon, the former publisher of Breitbart News, and an over the top racist, big-time booster, and far-right rhetoric king. Trump's racist campaign tricks—from calls for us Black protesters to be "roughed up" to the circulation of racist, anti-Muslim, and anti-Semitic literature—is proof for them that white nationalism has not only arrived, but has found a champion in Donald Trump, major-party nominee for president of the United States.
