solarbird... not in politics, anyway.
Mr. Trump's revival of overt white supremacy as a viable campaign platform is, I repeat, unforgivable. He's just selected a white supremacist leader as one of his delegates in California, one most noted for calling for all non-whites to be forcibly expelled from the United States.
The white supremacists and neofascists, on the other hand, are thrilled. Klan leaders have been talking about how they're going to use this to leverage everything even further towards overt racism, with the idea being to make Mr. Trump's courting of the neofascist movement a 'moderate' position, with the hope of rehabilitating one of the world's worst mass-murderers, Adolf Hitler.
Mr. Trump seems to be encouraging it.
I have been told by several people that Mr. Trump is not actually a racist and doesn't actually care about these people. You know the difference between a sincere white supremacist and someone with power who merely acts like one, and courts them to get votes and gain power?
FUCKING NOTHING. THERE IS NO FUCKING DIFFERENCE. AT ALL.
