The Divisive Racist In Chief

Yeah so today - which was the day trump wanted his massive ICE roundup of families and dark-skinned folks - the Loser of the Popular Vote took to his Twitter account to mock fellow Americans yet again. To link to Yoni Appelbaum at the Atlantic:

This morning, the president of the United States decided to share his thoughts with the American people:
So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!
It’s not clear to whom the president thought he was referring. There are 10 naturalized American citizens in the House, five of them Democratic women, but few of Donald Trump’s favorite targets number among them. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, for example, was born in the Bronx, Rashida Tlaib in Detroit, and Ayanna Pressley in Cincinnati. And irrespective of their origins, every single member of Congress is as American as democratic dissent...
When first read, trump's tweeted taunts are a variation of a standard racist remark offered by Whites towards other Americans who just happen to be Black or Latino or Asian or Arab: "Go Back to X" where X equals "Africa" or "China" or "Japan" or "Mexico" or "Bumfuckistan" or whatever place the racist White didn't care to learn from geography class. It's an insult as old as slavery itself, as old as the anti-Chinese Exclusion Acts of the late 19th Century, as old as this weekend when trump and his goons sought to round up every Latino to ship off to Guatemala even if they were U.S. citizens...

It's a not-at-all-subtle signal from the racist Eurowhite Trash saying it that they don't believe the Black/Asian/Latino/Arab person is a true American. It's an open sign of racist disgust focused on the color of skin or the accented voice or any other little thing that makes the Eurowhite Trash feel the need to make the target of their hate run away in tears or terror.

That's all trump is good for, by the way. Being a racist insult machine eager to drop such bombs in order to get other White-Americans to cheer him on. Even though such vicious behavior is un-Christian - go read Ephesians 2:19 - and violates the diversity our immigrant-based national identity represents.

All trump is getting with his Morning Hatefest is public recognition that he's racist. Again. One more exclamation mark in the history books about how this... orange-toned life form is perhaps the worst human being to sit in the Oval Office since Andrew Johnson.

To the 62 million who knowingly, willingly voted for this Shitgibbon #RacistInChief... there will be a reckoning for the hatred you've signed on for. This shit won't last. And every last American you've insulted is going to remember your eagerness to divide our nation.

If only shame actually mattered to you deplorable bastards.

It's been interesting and informative to see who tries to defend this obvious play for the support of the bigots and imbeciles in his base, and sort of telling of the raw fear those women inspire in Fergus and his felons.
