Some interesting points:
Quote:[Trump’s combustible formula of white identity politics] has pushed Democratic presidential candidates sharply to the left on issues such as immigration and civil rights, as they respond to the liberal backlash against him.
They are right ---- the Democratic party has veered sharply to the left. But its Trump's fault. Lolz.
The author here seemingly ignores that in 2016, Bernie Sanders ran basically even with Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries and caucuses. Only by manipulation were the Democrats able to make sure that an actual socialist wouldn’t be its nominee. Oh, but lets go further into the absolute tome of speculation that has been proffered up by 93 as his 'reason' for 'just by happenstance' including Trump's (followers, base, supporters) in his musings about Trump's poo fling.
The article assiduously ignores the smart move of 'centering' in light of Trump, oh, but why let that get in the way of a good screed.
The article also breathlessly says this about Trump's 'racism':
Quote:To try to excite his core voters, [Trump] continues to describe Latino immigration as a threat to the nation by arguing that “we don’t have a country” if borders are not enforced.
Uhh....... no. The actual
quote is this:
“If you don’t have borders, you don’t have a country.”
Funny, that seems to be a truism. Identity politics? Cmon.....
Oh my, we have a quote-centric issue here apparently as laxly enforced by our own illustrious 93 when he said "Trump said 4 congresswoman 'should go back to where they came from'" (the quote I am using is a paraphrase but am too lazy to hunt it down right now. I am sure according the lad's point of view there will something wrong, of course)
Also in this tome of the all-knowing one finds this:
Quote:More recently, [Trump] unsuccessfully championed an effort to add a citizenship question to the U.S. census that would have increased the political power of white voters by discouraging Latino participation in the count and allowed states to draw legislative districts to exclude undocumented immigrants.
It may very well be the question might have 'discouraged' Latinos who are in the country illegally to answer.
But riddle me this, why in the hell should illegal immigration cause the dilution of the political power of actual lawful residents?
This article doesn’t say. Nor does it explain *why* the U.S. shouldn’t try to get an accurate count of the number of people who are its lawful residents. Just some good ol rhetorical flourishes one imagines.
93, I love how you indulge us with a (non) explanation of your 'gee Trump supporters are too fing ignorant to care' comment with this trash. This article really seemingly is an invitation to indulge in self-directed projection when it claims that President Trump’s positions on issues like these constitute “white identity politics.”
Did you even read the article and ask yourself *any* discerning questions about it before you tossed it up like an afterthought to us?
Good for you. <clap --- again.>
