Did the Trump administration signal (again) their approval of neo-Nazis and other white supremacists? The "14 words" and the number "88" in a recent DHS press release. My new .@salon

salon.com/2018/07/06/did…
The Trump administration has (or had) neo-Nazis and white supremacist sympathizers and overt allies in the White House. Stephen Miller, Michael Anton, Stephen Bannon, and Sebastian Gorka are just a few examples.
And of course Donald Trump himself said neo-Nazis and white supremacists are "very fine people" after they rioted, assaulted, and committed murder in Charlottesville.
The DHS press release's use of neo-Nazi signals and code such as "88" and the titles use of the "14 words" would also fit with Trump's anti-Semitic refusal to include Jews in the Holocaust Day Remembrance statement and their overall plan to keep America a white dominated country.
We also can never forget Stephen Miller, a white supremacist and friend and ally of Richard Spencer, role in Trump's immigration policies, soft ethnic cleansing against nonwhites at the border and across the country, and other evil.
I include many other examples of the Trump administration's embrace of and signals to white supremacist and neo-Nazi ideology and policies in my new .@salon

Donald Trump is America's Racist-in-Chief. He is literally fulfilling a white supremacist wish list. Trump's most recent gift? Tweeting about "white genocide" in South Africa. My new .@salon

salon.com/2018/08/24/tru…
Trump's White House is a den and cabal of white racism with white supremacist and "white nationalist" believers and sympathizers such as Stephen Miller, Michael Anton and Steve Bannon and others writing the speeches and making racist policy.
As Mueller's investigation tightens around Trump and his corrupt administration he will only increase his white racist white supremacist appeals. It will likely not be too long before Trump is chanting white supremacist slogans such as "anti-racism is anti-white".

Donald Trump's White House is a den and hive of racists and others who are aligned with or sympathetic to so-called "white nationalists". Speech writer Darren Beattie is but one such example. My new .@salon

salon.com/2018/08/22/don…
Stephen Miller, Michael Anton, Steve Bannon, Jeff Session, and yes the king of the cabal, Donald Trump have shown through their actions, words, and policies that they are racists in league with and doing the work of a much larger white supremacist ideology and movement.
And it should be no surprise then that Trump's chief economic adviser is longtime friends with Peter Brimelow, a prominent and open white supremacist.

Will there be violence between Republicans and Democrats in Trump's broken America? Political parties are increasingly like sports teams. The Trumpists and other Republicans are soccer hooligans. My new .@salon

salon.com/2018/08/20/sch…
Political scientist Liliana Mason's research suggests this is a distinct possibility. Her work also shows that yes there is hyper polarization but Republicans are much more hostile to the groups that comprise the Democratic Party than the other way around.
Republicans are extremely cold and hostile towards nonwhites, gays and lesbians, women, and other groups who they identity as part of the Democratic Party. Democrats have much less hostility towards white men, "Christians", rural Americans and the like.

Trump is not accidentally inciting right-wing neo-Nazi violence. He's not unaware of the danger unleashed by his rhetoric. His rhetoric is intentional & the violence it creates is also intentional. Media MUST stop pretending otherwise before it's too damn late. Please read below.
Remember this "mistake" - early in Trump's campaign - where he "accidentally" created a campaign image with Nazi soldiers superimposed on US flag instead of US soldiers? "Mistake" was blamed on an intern, but it was no mistake - he instantly led GOP polls. theguardian.com/us-news/2015/j…
Remember this one - where he claimed he didn't know the 6-pointed star was a Jewish star & had no idea this image of Hillary superimposed over it & images of money was anti-semitic?

It looks like we're back to where we were in early 2014 when private paramilitary groups ("militias") were shopping for a cause. They settled on Bundy Ranch.
It was easier to be an anti-government extremist back then. Obama was in office so aiming guns at feds and LEOs came naturally to these groups. #TheGoodOldDays
With Trump's election, the militia movement faced a dilemma - how can you hate the gov and everything it stands for when your guy is in charge.

A significant number of our students are literally under attack. And free-speech warriors who've made this out to be merely "contrarian ideas" or "unpopular viewpoints" share the blame. It's not some abstract philosophical exercise. It's real-world hate w/ real world consequences
People's humanity, their basic human rights, their right to exist--these are not up for debate. People who tell you that we need to "listen to all ideas, no matter how loathsome" are people who never have to worry about the consequences of those ideas.
There are many reasons white supremacists are finding campuses fertile recruiting grounds. But mushy liberal enablers whose false equivalencies place Nazism in the same arena as legitimate academic discourse shoulder much of the blame. They've mainstreamed hate.
