Mr. Trump’s Applause Lies

[hazlnut]

NYT op-ed piece worth a read for Trump supporters and critics alike.

They very thoughtfully and carefully demonstrates a pattern of lying and misleading followers, stirring up racial tensions and hatred. They make logical and fair comparisons and then remind us that "failing to hold a demagogue to account is a dangerous act."

Very important reading. If we remain diligent and check Trump at every turn, his run will come to a shameful and sudden end as supporters desert him. Unfortunately, Trump's downfall will leave some supporters feeling disenfranchised--it is unlikely that they will see their own racist beliefs as wrong.

Here’s Donald Trump on Sunday: “When the Syrian refugees are going to start pouring into this country, we don’t know if they’re ISIS, we don’t know if it’s a Trojan horse. And I definitely want a database and other checks and balances. We want to go with watch lists. We want to go with databases. And we have no choice. We have no idea who’s being sent in here. This could be the — it’s probably not, but it could be the great Trojan horse of all time, where they come in.”

Here’s Joseph McCarthy in 1950: “Today we are engaged in a final, all-out battle between communistic atheism and Christianity. The modern champions of communism have selected this as the time, and ladies and gentlemen, the chips are down — they are truly down.”

Here’s Donald Trump last Tuesday: “We’re going to have to do things that we never did before. And some people are going to be upset about it, but I think that now everybody is feeling that security is going to rule. And certain things will be done that we never thought would happen in this country in terms of information and learning about the enemy. And so we’re going to have to do certain things that were frankly unthinkable a year ago.”

Here’s George Wallace in 1963: “We must redefine our heritage, re-school our thoughts in the lessons our forefathers knew so well, in order to function and to grow and to prosper. We can no longer hide our head in the sand and tell ourselves that the ideology of our free fathers is not being attacked and is not being threatened by another idea ... for it is.”

Democrats excel at making nonsensical connections between unrelated events.

"“We’re going to have to do things that we never did before."

You are watching the Nazification of America in real time.

Trump knows exactly how to purify morons ... absurd horseshit cleans their soul and gets them to foam at the mouth.
