At 3am on November 9th the second most tragic event in American history took place, The Donald was called as the winner and next president of the United States. He did so by bringing the worldwide movement of white identity nationalism to rural America, playing it like no one ever played it before.
Unlike George Wallace he did not run from a third party, but rather took over one of the existing parties. He chose the Republicans because he knew that their poorly educated base [who he loved] would sop it up like the white gravy on a chicken fried steak.
From that premise, that The Donald rode to power on a worldwide white nationalist movement, we have to ask who is most responsible for that movement.
The answer to that is as as obvious and simple as it is unpopular and unspoken, Osama bin Laden.
For on 911 bin Laden changed the world. Throughout the white western world it is the fear of Muslim terrorism that drives the anti immigration movement, even Brexit was much about the EU forcing Muslim refugees upon it’s members. Here in America it includes Muslims, but is more about Mexicans for some crazy reason. I guess white people want to get back to their roots picking lettuce, jogging behind garbage trucks and cleaning toilets.
Fear is the driver that has allowed dictators and fascists to come to power throughout history. And in this case it is on the back of Religion. A religion which like most, is evangelical, fundamentalist and intolerant.
One last point in this that needs repeating.
Americans shot and killed by Muslims since 911 – 96
Americans shot and killed by other Americans since 911 – 190,000
