Having witnessed the idiot trumpās success in tapping the right wing racism that is rampant in this country, Rick Santorum seems to be pinning his hope on riding that racial hatred into the White House in 2020.
In the hope of capitalizing on the conservativesā current embrace of the Naziās agenda, āformer Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., said former President Barack Obama had the power to bring the nation together but wound up increasing racism in part by the way he handled police shootings.ā
āAccording to Santorum, āmany, many, many peopleā saw Obama being racist himself and ādoing more to exacerbate racismā in the United States. ā āEvery time there was a controversy with someone of color involved, he took the side, many times, against the police.ā ā
Santorum conveniently forgets those same people saw President Obamaās election to the presidency as āan impeachable offenseā, so he shouldnāt depend too much on this type of stupidity to support his stance.
As a conservative political commentator for CNN, Santorum used his position during the Sunday āState of the Unionā panel discussion, to make his mindless statements to gain support for his political future. Santorum blamed President Obama, alone, for the rise in racism in the United States.
National spokeswoman and senior adviser for MoveOn.org, Karine Jean-Pierre corrected the stupidity of Santorumās assertions, explaining, āthat in those instances Obama was standing up for people who had been unjustifiably treated,ā All but a very few were unarmed when they were shot and killed by police because they were NOT WHITE people. Naturally, Jean-Pierreās statements of facts will be denied by conservatives.
Very few conservatives accepted Barack Obamaās election as legitimate, and for those who did not, they longed for the days before Rosa Parks, the Civil Rights movement, Martin Luther King Jr., etc.
After the Civil Rights movement, the vast majority of conservatives in which the hatred for people of color and foreigners burns deeply, were shamed into silence by liberal take-over by the 60ās generation.
Racists were forced to speak in whispers when voicing their hate filled rhetoric in public. Those who spoke their racist views publicly, quickly became pariahs among civilized people.
However, while in private, racial hate-speech was spewed freely. The inhibition felt by a large number of racists was gone when among friends and peers, so there was no feeling of embarrassment nor shame when making their obnoxious comments.
With the development of the Internet and the anonymity provided by the many different forums found there, racism once again went public en masse. The conservativesā racism on Internet forums took a really big jump in 2008 after, then Senator Barack Obama, announced his campaign for the presidency.
After Obama was elected to the Presidency, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell stated it was to be the singular goal of the GOP to make Obama a one-term president, for no other reason than his African-American heritage. As expected the congressional Republicans fell in lockstep behind McConnell, and for the following eight years, the congressional Republicansā obstructionism stalled most legislation and made the lives of average Americans an economic nightmare that continues to this day. (Low wages and the forced decay of workersā rights and safety are a proud achievement by the GOP, and applauded by conservatives.)
While racistsā nasty remarks about the Obama family were regularly posted on message boards, etc. the idiot trump fanned the flames of conservative racism with his ābirtherismā, the fantasy held dear by so many Republican politicians and conservatives that Obama was foreign born so was ineligible to be POTUS. (Their fantasy was proven to be only a fantasy many, many times, But remains a strong belief in the conservativesā alternate reality.)
In 2015 the idiot trump declared his candidacy for the presidency. He and his campaign team planned a strategy of childish name calling and bullying tactics to attack other Republicans running for the GOP nomination. This was the major factor in turning the 2016 election cycle into a right wing clown show that, by far, outstripped the stupidity of the 2012 Republican campaign season.
As the Republican nominee, the idiot trump became THE cheerleader to maintain and increase the ignorance, obstructionism, (and racism) exhibited by the congressional Republicans and an overwhelming number of conservatives during the two full terms of the scandal-free Obama administration. (āBenghaziā, was a figment in the imaginations of conservatives, and the unwarranted GOP congressional āinvestigationsā were admitted, by Republican leaders, to be nothing more than political āwitch huntsā.)
The idiot trump then used the months between his nomination and the 2016 election to spread the right wing message of racial hatred, xenophobia, misogyny, and disrespect of handicapped and disabled persons. As people around the world watched his campaign rallies, they saw how the idiot trumpās conservative supporters ate up his boorish behavior and hate-speech.
Not since Democrat George Wallace ran for the presidency had white supremacists been given a candidate who openly advocated their racist agenda.
To the pleasure of Nazi groups during 2016, Nixonās and the GOPās āSouthern Strategyā was, at last, given center stage, where their nominee and eventual POTUS was free to regurgitate white supremacistsā rhetoric, and his own racial hatred, xenophobia, misogyny, and disrespect of the handicapped and the disabled. Every deplorable statement made by the idiot trump was quickly accepted and echoed by his conservative supporters, and permitted them to refuse to feel shame and embarrassment for all their repugnant beliefs.
Santorum has seen what it takes to win over the Republican voting base. Only time will tell how well he is able to employ this strategy for 2020 and/or beyond.
