Running against Trump, and beating him, are both
going to be tough propositions. Right
now, Trump has clearly decided that his best road back to the White House is
the use of racism. And his is not the old Republican, Nixonian/Reaganite , variety,
or even that of the open Seg., George Wallace, either. They, and many others right up to the present
used "dog whistles." But Trump is right
out there, while even at the same time Trump lap dogs like Mick Mulvaney are arguing
to an exasperated Chris Wallace on Fox" News" (July 28, 2019) that Trump is not
a racist. (Betcha didn't know that Fox
has comedy segments.) And it doesn't embarrass
him in the least. He revels in it,
actually wallows in it.
However, and this is point one, it was really
doesn't matter whether or not Mick Mulvaney says he is a racist (and Mulvaney
actually may truly believe that he is not, which tells you how much Mulvaney
knows about racism). What matters is
that Trump is one, and is consciously using his built-in racism as a campaign
strategy. It was reported on MSNBC's "Deadline
White House" on July 29, 2019 that Trump campaign staff reviewed the use of the
tactic, evaluated its positive effect upon a portion of the Trump electorate,
and told the President "go for it."
Amazing stuff! Right out of the Nazi
Propaganda Ministry of Josef Goebbels. And
just think. Trump's people sleep well at
night.
