The Ugly Truth About Trump's Racism

[kpete]

You can locate a zone of plausible deniability, in which one can claim support for such policies on pragmatic, economic or “cultural” grounds, and not out of any desire to make the United States whiter.
It’s precisely this zone that Republicans now seek to inhabit.

That’s why the GOP panic about the “send her back” chant is significant.
It shines a floodlight into this zone and reveals why it’s so hard to credibly inhabit it.

1. Dems message must be simple and clear: Trumpism IS Nazism

Hammer this message all the way to election day. Focus on the fact we are fighting for the soul of this nation - that we cannot let it turn into a nation of nazis & fascists. We cannot let democracy die. Make it out to be the dire straits that it really is should anybody are still on the bench about voting, to get out & submit their ballot because their life & freedom depends on it.

Not to cheapen all the policy wonking but we are at a do or die point in history. Focus on this simple but grave message that we have a racist idiot & GOP is a party of Nazis turning the country into an authoritarian regime!
