As I sit in an airport lounge, the CNN feed on the big screen (mercifully silent and utterly ignored except by me) has a chyron reading “POLITICS OF HATE: TRUMP USING RACISM AS A POLITICAL STRATEGY IN NEW RHETORIC.” His “hate crime” was pointing out that Democrats have failed our inner city citizens and that lib pols need to stop doing such a terrible job. You would think that if Trump actually was a racist he’d be demanding Dems do even worse - assuming that’s possible - but it’s all just a bogus distraction and making sense is not a consideration. It’s a lie to shut people up.
Specifically, people who don’t vote Democrat.
Was anyone really shocked to learn that you can’t say that a manifest hellhole is a hellhole anymore, at least according to our moral betters in the media and politics? You have some Democrat politician who represented his district for nearly four decades and if you point out that it’s a mess, the problem is the guy who says so out loud. Not the crime. Not the poverty. Not the rodent infestation. It’s Donald Trump, POTUS for 2.5 years, who is to blame for the real crime, which is pointing out what everyone knows.
Except Trump doesn’t play that. He calls out the elite and its inept members without fear and without apology. He speaks, if you’ll pardon the hackneyed expression, truth to power.
It’s called “accountability,” and it’s exactly what America needs from its ruling caste. Which is why it is exactly what the establishment wishes to put out of bounds. How dare Trump, and by extension you, be so uppity as to demand that our exalted betters not fail at everything they do!
Trump, and you, are not allowed to demand results. You are not allowed to demand competence. You are not allowed to demand integrity. What you are allowed to do is sit there and take whatever garbage they hand you, without complaint, with gratitude even. You are not a citizen. You are a serf. At least, that’s what they want to convert you into - but neither you nor the avatar of your anger Donald Trump are going to accept that.
This is our country, and all their lies about “racism” and whatever other bogus bigotry they try to label you with are not going to shut us up.
What’s amusing is how the criticism of Elijah Cummings’s little slice of Hades is only intolerable because Trump said it. They are free to. After the tweets slamming the Democrats’ utter failure to serve the people of Baltimore, and the resulting backlash against people criticizing its useless government officials, conservative Twitter took great delight in finding and tweeting countless prior narrative-busting stories of Democrat corruption, rampaging rats and street crime in the lib media and even comments by the likes of Bernie Sanders. Everyone knows the sordid truth about Baltimore and the other Democrat-run big cities. In my own LA the homeless crowd the streets littering the sidewalks with syringes and dropping last night’s free meal whenever and wherever their hearts desire. We all see the truth, including the elite. They just want to prevent us from speaking it by branding it, falsely, as racism or some other -ism. They know it’s a lie. They hope that you’ll be intimidated anyway.
But Trump won’t be. Will you?
This demand that we forgo speaking inconvenient truths is a trend. We found out just a couple weeks ago that we aren’t supposed to demand immigrants not hate America and Americans. Again, there’s no debate about the truth of the statements themselves. Ilhan Omar hates America as much as she allegedly loves her brother. The elite knows it, and the elite knows you know it, yet the elite’s tactic is to try to neutralize it by keeping you from saying it. They seek to create a social sanction for criticizing them.
It’s Stalinist, which they would take as a compliment if they knew who Stalin was.
Should we even bother noting that none of this applies when the liberals attack us? Some anti-Christian creep who hates every principle in the Constitution shoots up a gun-free zone and that atrocity is somehow attributable to everyone who believes in the entire Bill of Rights, not just the rights that aren’t there. It’s the NRA’s fault, as is Baltimore’s crime wave, because...because shut up and submit. It’s the same sinister strategy at work, the attempt to place what you and what at least half of America believes outside the bounds of acceptable discourse.
No.
They don’t get to decide what truths may or may not be spoken.
Not going to happen.
See, this is our country, and we will hold corrupt and incompetent government employees accountable. We will call out the ungrateful and the anti-American. We will stand up for our right to keep and bear arms.
You progs will hate us for it, and you’ll lie about us, but why should we care? You’ll do it anyway. Even if we were so inclined to submit, we could never submit enough. Even if you managed to eliminate all us kulak opponents - every leftist’s not so secret fantasy, as history and pinko Twitter blue checks’ tweets demonstrate - you would still need our memory to provide a scapegoat for your inevitable failures. Without us, you might have to explain why you’ve held sway in the big cities for decades and yet it’s only gotten worse. Can’t have that!
The real reason Trump won, and the reason his supporters stay loyal, is that he sees the lies and just doesn’t care. He doesn’t concede your moral or intellectual superiority, like those GOP establishment Fredocon weasels do. He thinks you’re garbage and so he speaks the truth because he doesn’t care what you say.
And neither should we
Perfect
Trump single-handedly re-opened the open border issue, after it had already been decided against us by the elites of the Republocrats. It is unfortunate that little progress has been made, because this was a signature issue of his (and played a key role in his election).
He also exposed the fact that Republican politicians in general were not interested in repealing ObamaCare - which had been a signature issue in many of THEIR elections.
Finally, he really showed how radically the Dems wanted to “fundamentally transform” this country - by eliminating the concept of a country altogether.
We needed a leader to refuse the new, updated, politically-correct language demands of the Democratic Party.
Trump is providing that leadership...and destroying their efforts to co-opt our language.
The problem is that Trump is just one man. Where are the other men on our side who are stepping into the leadership vacuum?
We need more than just Trump. We need a movement of men who follow in Trump's footsteps.
Where are they?
the last 3 years have been pure joy for me..ive never enjoyed politics so much. President Trump has shaken the foundation and these pricks cant understand what hit them...heh heh. This might sound weird, but i voted for him almost completely on how he takes on the media....never seen anything like it...i still watch those compilation clips on you tube, and laugh my ass off. Gonna be a sad day after he leaves office..one of a kind.
Finally, Donald J Trump has gotten into the street talk, a concept that a person of darker skin pigment might possible, perhaps...could be RACIST...like they only see their own color of skin pigment and despise everything else. This is an improvement to language is this sticks. He called Al Sharpton a RACIST....wow... I wonder if Al Sharpton can take this, as he has been the guy dishing it out.
Kurt has been on fire lately, he just nails it. I just said something similar, much less well, in another thread, here:

Thank you for posting this, and for NOT posting his inevitable ad for his books.
You’re welcome. He wants to sell his books, LOL
Like the recent effort to make the words "rat" and "vermin" into synonyms for minorities so that they could then bash Trump for racism when he pointed out that Balto is infested?
When I see Cummings, he seems to look as if he suspects that he has stepped in it and may well be ousted in the next election cycle, or even sooner.
For DECADES, these minority libs have been wearing Teflon from behind which they spewed whatever lie popped into their heads.
Another fool is learning that ya don’t tug on superman’s cape.
May God bless our President.
30 years ago I lived in downtown Detroit as a beeper carrying, on demand charter pilot at Detroit city airport. They called it “the war zone”.
It was the most depressing time of my life.
I saw:
-Filth and trash everywhere
-urban blight, abandoned buildings, run down neighborhoods, un maintained streets,
-people being attacked, people begging, every gas station attendant and cash register surrounded in a bullet proof glass cage, armed guards at McDonald’s,
But the liquor stores were doing a bang up business...
I will thankfully never return there but I hear things are getting marginally better, the open space project taking down entire blocks of run down housing, but 60 years of democrat run social, economic and trade policy disaster will not be changed quickly, and today 70 some years after Hiroshima was nuked Detroit looks like Hiroshima and Hiroshima looks like it was on the side that won the war.
They are YOU and they are US as long as we don’t cower under their attacks.
That just bolsters my opinion that TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.
The Americans in this nation, of all creeds and colors, need to band together with the President to get rid of all the corrupt ruling elite.
The President can’t do it all by himself.
