Emergency Rally: Get ICE out of Baltimore

Listening to Mark Halperin earnestly explain how Trump has a mandate for mass deportation, I am appalled at how easily these media types fall into acquiescence with the latest outrage — and how they are willing to use language to distort and normalize this.

  • There was no mandate for ethnic cleansing. People who voted for Trump wanted him to keep terrorists out. As far as I can tell, we don’t have any Mexican or Central American terrorists.
  • This is the longtime philosophy of Bannon and Miller, Trump’s advisors. They are literally white supremacists. I’m not exaggerating.
  • Almost 3 million more people voted to not do this.
  • Most people do not understand that the “criminals” targeted by Trump can be anyone — because just being in the country illegally makes you a criminal. In fact, illegal immigrants have a lower crime rate.
  • This used to be America.

In the White House.

The ideological leader of the Trump movement is Sessions, hailed by Bannon for “developing populist nation-state policies” from his somewhat isolated perch in the Senate. Bannon, who avoids the spotlight, gives away the game in his praise of Sessions. “In America and Europe, working people are reasserting their right to control their own destinies,” he wrote in a recent statement to the Washington Post, blasting the “cosmopolitan elites in the media that live in a handful of our larger cities.” Given the demographics of Trump’s support—given the demographics of Europe—this definition of “working people” can mean only one thing: white people. And “cosmopolitan elites” has a long history as a euphemism for Jews and other minorities.
