Trumps alt-right trolls have subjected me and my family to an unending torrent of abuse that I wouldnt wish on anyone. I distinctly remember the first time I saw a picture of my then-seven-year-old daughters face in a gas chamber. It was the evening of September 17, 2015. I had just posted a short item to the Corner calling out notorious Trump ally Ann Coulter for aping the white-nationalist language and rhetoric of the so-called alt-right. Within minutes, the tweets came flooding in. My youngest daughter is African American, adopted from Ethiopia, and in alt-right circles thats an unforgivable sin. Its called race-cucking or raising the enemy.
I saw images of my daughters face in gas chambers, with a smiling Trump in a Nazi uniform preparing to press a button and kill her. I saw her face photo-shopped into images of slaves. She was called a niglet and a dindu. The alt-right unleashed on my wife, Nancy, claiming that she had slept with black men while I was deployed to Iraq, and that I loved to watch while she had sex with black bucks. People sent her pornographic images of black men having sex with white women, with someone photoshopped to look like me, watching.

.............The phenomenon got some attention in the spring, when the Daily Beast reported not just on Mandels experience but also on Ericksons, Rick Wilsons, and others. Its showing no signs of slowing down, either: Big names, small names, any names if you attack Trump, no matter who you are, your life might just change. Earlier this month, Mi-Ai Parrish, president of the Arizona Republic, wrote a powerful response to the deluge of threats and bullying prompted by the papers endorsement of Hillary Clinton. An Anti-Defamation League report identified 800 journalists whove been targeted with anti-Semitic tweets, ten journalists (including NRs own Jonah Goldberg) whove borne the brunt of the attacks, and one my friend Ben Shapiro whos received a staggering amount of hate:
