Trump’s Racist Tweets Fan Hatred, Defining the Coming Election

And then, if you look at the origins of this controversy that has brought us to your cameras today, in many ways it starts with an interview that Speaker Nancy Pelosi did with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd when she sharply rebuked, reprimanded and criticized Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez in particular, a congresswoman who has been receiving a steady rain of death threats. And that opened up Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez to be receiving even more death threats. She, of course, clapped back. Speaker Pelosi, rather than taking the high road, then upped the ante and opened the door for Donald J. Trump to enter into this debate. And so once again, you see leading Democrats paving the way for the rise of Donald J. Trump’s racism.

Indeed, it is. And what I would say is that Trump knows how to capitalize off of those very moments, and has been successful in doing so. I mean, here’s the reality. You know, the comments that Trump made via his tweets yesterday clearly are saying to us that we don’t have a right to critique what happens with our government nor the president. But the reality is, we in fact do, and we should be able to criticize our government and the individual who is running the government. That’s the beauty of being an American, is having that latitude in which to do so. The problem is that criticism does not equate to hate for our country, but Trump’s tweets do equate to hate. That’s where it’s been, that’s where the line has been crossed, where he has assumed that it’s acceptable for him to call out women who are born and bred in this country— at least three of the four— and don’t have a right to speak back to what they see as problematic in the country. And the other reality is, just as Trump decided he felt like he needed to be the leader of this nation because he didn’t like the direction of the country, so too did those four women. They didn’t like the direction of the country and decided to do something about it. and that’s what we are supposed to do.

If they don't like it they can leave the country? Well where was that ideology when they were constantly bitching about Bill Clinton and Obama? They have the same rights, to bitch or leave the country. They? However, Trump was supporting Bill Clinton. He wasn't a part of they then. He was a major factor in the rise of Clinton's neoliberalism. And benefiting from it rather well. Another con job pulled over his supporters. They are right now supporting an entity that brought them to today with the rest of us within pure ignorance.

The reality of it is that they only recognize the white factor in Trump which is to fear, hate, and dispose the brown people. Another ignorance in these people is that Trump and his ilk don't give a rats ass about them (supporters) either. Since the election Trump has essentially done nothing to confront any real issue he promised to. Except the wall and the border. That's it! Feel free to throw anything else at me that you feel Trump has confronted from his campaign promises that have become a benefit to the country. So basically his supporters are living on and by fear, hate, and dispose the brown people. And the democrats are feeding Trump his ammunition towards winning in 2020.
