yeah yeah…A desire for sovereignty and preservation of culture is racist if white people say it aloud. We totally get it.Conservativism is infamous for its racist, bigoted anti-immigrant nativism; the right’s unwarranted fear of immigrants and immigration is predicated on the ridiculous lie that immigrants are ‘taking away’ America from ‘real’ Americans, when in fact America is a nation of immigrants and immigration is America’s greatest asset.
There’s no rational basis for racist, bigoted rightwing anti-immigrant nativism; it’s motivated by ignorance and baseless fear.yeah yeah…A desire for sovereignty and preservation of culture is racist if white people say it aloud. We totally get it.
America is a nation of DESIRED, LEGAL, VETTED mostly white immigrants…that’s true….and the only reason we aren’t just another dark person filled shithole.
True….white immigrants are Americas greatest asset.
Meh....Trump is only the latest vehicle of a movement that has been burgeoning since Goldwater....There's a reason the GOP put him out there to get slaughtered, electorally speaking, by the proxy for the assassinated JFK.The rise of Trump is predicated on the crappiness of Obama. What you folks call lies is merely an excuse to ignore the disaster that Obama created.
You are seriously a leftarded shitbag........that I thought would be interesting to discuss. Boiled down to its essence it is that Trump is not the essential element animating Trumpery. Trumpery being defined (by me) as the rise of nativism, the advent of power concentrated in the hands of the nation's leader, challenging the prior constitutional order, an isolationist bent, targeting minorities as being responsible for a variety of societal ills, and sloganeering as a substitute for nuanced policy.
She recently did a town hall style meeting with Chris Hayes during which he asked her why it is, in her opinion, that some authoritarian figures in history fail to gain support while others succeed. IOW, can success or failure of these figures be predicted. Her answer was the country, any country, has to be previously receptive to the message being projected. That no one can start from ground zero and orchestrate an authoritarian movement unless citizens in the country, some of them at least, are ready for it.
Probably the best example of this being Germany before Hitler (I'm not comparing Trump to Hitler). The seeds for being receptive to fascism were planted by the onerous terms Germany was forced to submit to after WW I.
So what was happening here that allowed for the sublimated acceptance of, if not desire for, autocracy to bubble to the surface? Technological advances bringing about economic instability? The "browning" of the country causing anxiety among certain factions?
Or is Rachel's theory just wrong?
You keep parroting the same tired meaningless bullshit.There’s no rational basis for racist, bigoted rightwing anti-immigrant nativism; it’s motivated by ignorance and baseless fear
The Right is comprised of good real core Americans…they are about law and order, sovereignty, the preservation of American principles, values, traditions, heritage and culture.And again, racist, bigoted rightwing anti-immigrant nativism is a key component of conservative authoritarianism: to use the unwarranted, irrational fear of immigrants and immigration as ‘justification’ to advance the Republican campaign of lies and rhetoric hostile to our democratic institutions.

The seeds of todays Republicans were planted by Rush Limbaugh in the late 80s
Trump harnessed a sentiment that’s been brewing since the 60s. It doesn’t end when he goes away, but without a focus slip under the radar again, until another opportunist comes along.
Actually Trump's colorblind policies had better race relations than the racist democrats do now.Yep, Trump just lifted the lid off the septic tank.

Lawlessness won't end well for law breakers...
The outrageous and sickening amount of violent crime starting in the 1960s and continuing until this moment.So what was happening here that allowed for the sublimated acceptance of, if not desire for, autocracy to bubble to the surface?
Trumps colorblind policies were brutal to low level criminals but ignored white collar crime
He used to giggle when he got to execute people
Trump's DOJ had zero to do with "low-level criminals".Trumps colorblind policies were brutal to low level criminals but ignored white collar crime
He used to giggle when he got to execute people
Who all did Trump "execute" besides ISIS and Soleimani?

The 13 killers on "Death Row" deserved to die. That is a net positive, aka "Justified".RollingStone

Maddow also makes the insightful point of how Trumpery coopts language. Trump demonstrably exhibits authoritarian tendencies. His response, calling his detractors authoritarians. Stripping the word of its meaning. A strategy illustrated on this board all the time.The right’s war on facts and the truth is fundamentally authoritarian, as is the Big Lie.
Indeed, election denialism is a classic example of the fascist tactic of repeating a lie often enough in the hope it’s perceived to be ‘true.’
Prior to Trump there had been 3 Federal Executions in the last 60 yearsThe 13 killers on "Death Row" deserved to die. That is a net positive, aka "Justified".
Keeping them alive would be an "injustice" to their victims.
Trump administration carries out 13th and final execution
Dustin Higgs was the third to receive a lethal injection this week.
Killing convicted killers is a net positive. I'm not sure what your point is??Prior to Trump there had been 3 Federal Executions in the last 60 years
Prior to Trump, there had been no Federal Executions in the last 17 years
Trump killed 13 in his last six months as President. He enjoys it
