He needs to pander to them. There's a symbiosis at play here.

They are and have been his base since the very beginning. He has parroted mantras taken straight from their racist hate group subreddits, and he & his lackeys continue to recite their dog whistles for them.


An actual human being would come to his senses and condemn these idiot racist fuckheads, but we don't have an actual human being in the Whitehouse; we have Trump.

Didn't give him permission.

Which is like going back to Germany, in 1938, and saying: "too much anger out there."

I hope he chokes on it.

You are ASTRONOMICALLY more likely to be killed by an Uhmercan white boy then by a radical Islamist.

I have resisted the urge to write the President, preferring instead to be ignored by my GOP Congresscritters. But this time I had to send a comment. Here is the text of the letter I just emailed to the White House.

Dear Mr. President:

This letter is in regard to the events in Charlottesville this weekend.

With all due respect, Mr. President, the only reply I can make to statements like "We want to see what we're doing wrong as a country where things like this can happen," is to point silently to the extremely hateful and bigoted rhetoric that you used on the campaign trail to get elected.

These white power racists, these neo-NAZIs, are using acts violence to further their political goals, the very definition of terrorism. For you to now feign surprise at their actions, after spewing hatred that they agree with, is insultingly disingenuous.

And now they've killed someone.

Since you have been unwilling to label this racist murder an act of terror, you must be in agreement with the terrorists. You must be a racist yourself. Your campaign rhetoric supports this conclusion. Now your unwillingness to admit that the white power groups are dangerous terrorists proves it beyond doubt.

If this email gets me on your enemies list, that's an honorable place to be. There is no honor in supporting you, Mr. President, if through inaction and cleverly-worded lies and omissions, you continue to support these racist white supremacists.

One of my favorite quotes from the Lord of the Rings (the novel), when the hobbits return home to the Shire and have to fight one more battle...

did not stand in the middle of a Charlotte intersection and shoot at counter-protesters
while his racist supporters cheered.

only a Klansman would not condemn today's casualties

I mean the president of the United States. The Nazis are similarly despicable.

Another good critique of the racist in the White House:

whoever took this photo.... people flying through the air. geez. look at the shoes. geez

He condemned hatred and violence: "on many sides, on many sides" that was a dog whistle if I ever heard one.
