all Muslims. In fact if I could talk to Jesus and he would guarantee I could still get in Heaven. I would kill every Muslim I see.
That is what a no longer a friend told me. He is a Trump supporter and I ask him if he agreed with Trumps bigotry and that is what he told me. That is the kind of hate Trump people have. I have met so many vile racist here in Montana. They dropped the voting rights act because there is no more racism in America. BULLSHIT.

(4,307 posts)It is scary to me how much white racism and white supremacy there is out there. Frequently dressed up as concern for the future of Western civilization (read white privilege). With poor Jesus (who was actually named something like Yeshua) dragged in, bleached to give him green eyes and light brown hair, to serve as a prop for their hatred. Not even a cover, but an actual prop. And I suspect it is getting worse.

(15,805 posts)At first, we thought Trump was circus clown, but behind his idiotic facade is a fascist. Trump has stirred up bigotry by playing to voters secret fears and prejudices. Like other fascist leaders -- Il Duce and Der Fuhrer -- The Donald offers a comic book image of a tough guy, a strongman who can fix it... promise.
Trump uses the same divisive tactics as the fascists of the last century, he manipulates truth and fact to fit his narrative of the moment to cultivate suspicion toward the "other". He claims to be a super-patriot, but everything he says he'll do as president would destroy every right we have guaranteed by the Constitution.
