In reply to the discussion: What too many Americans will never admit [View all]moondust
(19,971 posts)It may not be obvious to everyone but I have no doubt that the narrative for that slogan goes like this:
The United States always had a white guy as President and it was always the greatest country on Earth! Then along came this black guy from Kenya who cheated his way into the White House and the country went straight to Hell. Now we have to return a superior white guy to the White House who can fix everything the black guy wrecked. Vote for the superior white guy and Make America Great Again!
Trump was the world's most infamous lying birther/racist with a history of racism going back decades. That was never a secret. His campaign was indeed an extension of the racist Tea Party and birtherism. That red MAGA hat is just the new Klan hood without hiding the face. I'm not sure much of his cult cares about anything he says or does because their overriding concern is the perpetuation of white supremacy. Add to that the oligarchs who just want to get rid of laws and prosecutors (i.e. government); Trump is more than happy to oblige with that.
Welcome to the Trump Confederacy!
