It is happening here: Donald Trump's speech in Phoenix was a fascist spectacle that would have made Hitler or Mussolini proud

Chauncey DeVega

As I explained a few days ago, today’s black conservatives are professional “best black friends” for the Republican Party. Because they are racial mercenaries, the primary purpose of black conservatives is to serve as defense shield for the racist agenda of Donald Trump and other white Republicans.

On Tuesday evening, black conservatives played their role to perfection at Donald Trump’s rally in Phoenix. Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece, Alveda King, prostituted her uncle’s legacy by offering a prayer in defense of Donald Trump. Ben Carson, the secretary of Housing and Urban Development (a position for which he is supremely unqualified), paid off his debt to Trump by serving as an apologist for bigotry before the throngs of white people at the Phoenix rally.

Donald Trump has cooked up a stew of hatred and violence, in which black conservatives serve as tiny specks of seasoning. It’s a foul dish, but tens of millions of white Americans devour it eagerly.

Ultimately, Trump’s black conservatives were just curtain-raisers and human props for the spectacle in Phoenix.

Unfortunately, the American people have failed Allen’s test, at least to this point. Trump was elected president and he clearly will not change. Since he became active in public life he has repeatedly demonstrated that he is a racist, a bigot, an ignoramus, a bully, a misogynist, a likely or certain sexual abuser and an authoritarian with fascist leanings. His speech in Phoenix was in no way an outlier or an aberration. It expressed who Donald Trump really is. He has never hidden his true nature. Too many in the news media and among the American public simply chose to believe it was all an act.

Read the whole thing, his supporters will never leave him, they will lap up his lies with their last dying breath and die happy. We will never reach these people, not ever and I for one will not even try.

1. I won't engage or debate Trump worshipers.

I only respond to their blather by saying "horseshit" and then move on.

PEACE!

4. They are deplorable, mcar.

I have no pity for them what SO EVER!

5. I am surrounded by them here in red FL

It's so hard. These are people who have been good neighbors, some for decades.

I'm glad we don't interact that often. I don't know what I'd say.

[sheshe2]

7. Sorry it is so red for you.

Love you, mcar.

I've got a wonderful husband and two great sons - all Democrats.

I've just joined a newly formed FL Dem women's club. We're a big minority but we're here.

12. When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a golf bag.

Well, fascism's caddy will be carrying the clubs, but still...

[sheshe2]

13. Yup.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

14. There it is. Judging by that image, I'd expect the article to be critical, but

Google translate tells me the little blurb at the bottom says:

Neonazis, Ku-Klux-Klan, Racism: How Trump fights the hatred in America

I wonder if the blurb was sarcasm (as I suspect and hope) or support.

[sheshe2]

15. I am hoping for sarcasm as well.

Pretty sure they know exactly who and what he is.
