New School History Book Paints Trump as Racist and Extremist
Freedom Project ^ | April 17, 2018 | Alex Newman

Posted on 04/18/2018 2:44:55 PM PDT by detective

The new Advanced Placement U.S. History book is under fire across America for, among other scandals, portraying President Donald Trump's supporters as ignorant old racists. It also paints Trump as a racist and highlights his alleged “extremism,” without explaining what, exactly, the far-left author considers to be “extreme.”

“Most thought that Trump was too extreme a candidate to win the nomination, but his extremism, his anti establishment rhetoric and, some said, his not-very-hidden racism connected with a significant number of primary voters – more voters than any other single Republican candidate,” claimed the author, without explaining how Trump could win when “most” supposedly thought he was too extreme.

“Trump’s supporters saw the vote as a victory for the people who, like themselves, had been forgotten in a fast-changing America – a mostly older, often rural or suburban, and overwhelmingly white group,” claims the book, dubbed “ By The People: A History of the United States” and written by leftist pseudo-historian James Fraser from New York University.

What has happened is that the “Progressives” have got rich at OUR expense!

Not only that, the FReaking “Progressives,” because they are rich and live in cloistered, gated communities, DO NOT have to suffer the consequences of the decisions they force upon us “normals.”

At some point, we “normals” will disabuse them of the notion that they are immune FRom their decisions!

THIS WILL NOT END WELL FOR THE “PROGRESSIVES!”

LOL! ALL my teen son's gamer friends LOVE Trump, and thought Hillary was a "crooked hosebag." And there are hundreds of thousands on Reddit who adore "God Emperor Trump."

We are the majority in 30 state governments. Cut the finds for these books and buy something neutral.

Good point, the Educated Cabal is strong and is not going to capitulate to any “conservatives” ... the objectives are clear and written in stone by the unions and the prolateriat. The “lesson plans” are drawn, all dissent is raciest.

This book is propaganda and should be immediately trashed.
