At every level Republicans are looking for the candidate who can be the most blatantly racist while still maintaining they’re not racist. It’s an incredibly delicate balance.

Maybe this Space Force thing is just setting up a moment where we can get a president to resign and step onto a rocket instead of a helicopter.

Trumpism is about maintaining a society dictated by and serving white people. The reality they’re seeking is a reality authored by generations of linguistic and legal decisions, and the challenge against them is what they’re fighting.

The White experience is not the default one for an American life, although politically it’s been framed in that manner in order to make outliers out of others and to make their legitimate problems otherwise unreasonable.

Language doesn’t matter? This “we” is based on generations of white people being synonymous with “American.” Language dictates reality, and the language we’ve been using was designed for hierarchy and subjugation.https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1027627856241848320 …

The more we talk about Trump and his movement like it’s a legitimate political movement and not a fascistic and bigoted reactionary moment the more damage we cause.

There’s no signature Trump Administration achievement, no legislative or economic landmark that works like it’s been advertised or helps anyone besides Trump and the obscenely wealthy.

A security expert I talked to called it Quit Or Die, and he’s seen it repeatedly across the spectrum of Trump’s base. It’s a very quiet and very insidious fascistic operation.

The usual insults heat up when he’s tested. Suddenly it’s direct threats against your safety. Real and legitimate and targeted things with graphic detail. It’s designed to make you consider whether it’s worth continuing or not.

Trump stands behind the excuse of political rhetoric like a mob boss who claims he knows nothing, but it’s a trigger he can pull whenever the scandals and investigations start getting too hot and out of control.

When he escalates it’s like a wave of trolls and extremists come alive. Their usual tactics escalate with his rhetoric, and the attacks remind journalists they’re endangered by reports critical of the president.

It’s no coincidence that Trump vilifies the press when the pressure’s on. It further inoculates his base, but also activates a weapon: targeted harassment meant to make journalists think twice about consequences of reporting.

We have a desperate criminal in the White House. If the Republicans had any sense of duty they’d make like ‘74 and beat the door down demanding he resign.

We met with the Russians about adoption, not to get dirt on Hillary Clinton / Sure, it was a meeting about getting dirt on Hillary Clinton There was never collusion! / Collusion isn’t even a crime My campaign manager Paul Manafort is above reproach! / Who’s Paul Manafort?

Donald Trump knows full and well his anti journalist rhetoric could lead to reporters being killed.
