With an eye on primaries, Cruz reacts to tragedy by trying to out-fascist Trump

Ted Cruz is not going to let Donald Trump out-fascist him. After the terrorist attacks in Paris, Trump gave it multiple days before coming out in favor of a ban on allowing Muslims to travel into the country, even those who are returning home from a trip. Cruz, however, only gave it a few hours after the attack on Brussels before rushing forward with some belligerently fascist-sounding racist proposals on his Facebook page.

Cruz is right about one thing: If he is elected president, no one will mistake the United States for an enlightened country again. For someone who claims to be a patriot, Cruz sure is hostile to the bedrock of enlightenment principles, including freedom of religion, this country was founded on.

There’s so much filth and racism to unpack here that it’s hard to know where to begin, though I am personally fond of Cruz implying that ISIS is located beyond our “southern border”. (Not only is Mexico not an ISIS stronghold, but Mexico seems pretty confident that ISIS basically ignores them altogether.)

But of course, the part that is raising the biggest alarm is the “patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods” language, language that signals that Cruz is eager to move his game piece a little further past Trump’s in their unfortunate board game Who Sounds The Most Like Hitler Talking About Jews.
