It could be tough to call a dirtier political trick than calling opponents ‘racist’ and publicly disclosing their names. Is that this mere costume rehearsal for the 2020 US election, or one thing far worse?
Right this moment in America, when a large section of the inhabitants is affected by the acute, long-term results of Trump Derangement Syndrome, even the easy act of supporting a politician – particularly if the candidate’s identify occurs to be Donald Trump – could make an individual not solely really feel like a prison, however handled like one as effectively. And that’s not mere hyperbole.
Take into account the next. Within the US, when sexual predators are launched again into the final inhabitants after serving out their jail sentence, they’re required to register themselves in a state information financial institution. That is no relationship website. Its objective is to tell Individuals if a probably harmful particular person shall be residing of their neighborhood, presumably within the neighborhood of their kids. That is the kind of blacklist most Individuals might in all probability agree with.
However what a few blacklist made up of American voters who’ve had their names and addresses dumped into the general public realm for the ‘crime’ of donating cash to the Trump marketing campaign? When it’s remembered that supporting political events and candidates with money is a democratic type of ‘free speech’, it sounds virtually too unbelievable to think about.

But that’s precisely what occurred this week when an obscure group that fashions itself because the Public Media Service Group, Inc. launched the private info of Trump donors throughout the nation – full with little crimson flags – in a surprising invasion of privateness. If there have been a greater means of triggering civil strife within the US, I personally can not think about it. However it will get worse.
What is especially disturbing and deranged about this “mapping of latest Trump donors,” nonetheless, is that the now disabled web site screamed ‘RACIST WATCH’ in massive font on the high of the web page, adopted by the paranoid query: “Do your neighbors assist a president that helps racism and hate speech?”
For the final four years, far-left extremist have violently assaulted Trump supporters and their assaults are escalating.

Other than its embrace of the Orwellian act of snitching on neighbors and family members, it additionally takes it on religion that the US president is a few sort of xenophobic megalomaniac hell-bent on driving all foreigners in another country. To this point, nonetheless, a lot of these media-baked claims that say ‘Trump is a racist’ derive from his marketing campaign pledge to construct a wall on the Mexican border. If that makes Trump a racist, then the overwhelming majority of state leaders around the globe should even be categorized as such since most governments nonetheless think about it their duty to guard their nationwide borders within the identify of safety. That’s not racism; that’s widespread sense.
An important consideration right here, nonetheless, shouldn’t be Donald Trump, who has an enormous safety equipment at his disposal to guard him wherever he goes. What about these outed Trump donors who’ve been tarred and feathered on a ‘Racist Watch’ web site. What subsequent? Will they be required to put on some sort of conspicuous insignia in public, very like the Jews had been recognized by yellow stars in Nazi-occupied Europe, to determine their ‘racist’ affiliation? Will Trump supporters be pressured to knock on the doorways of their neighbors, admitting with all of the guilt they will muster that they donated cash to the mogul of Manhattan? Pray inform, what sort of madness has gripped God’s Nation?
Such public blacklisting, except for showing as a scare tactic forward of some of the momentous presidential elections in latest historical past, locations Trump donors at no small private threat. Simply ask Tucker Carlson, the Fox Information conservative host. Late final yr, Antifa, the left-wing, mask-wearing protest group identified for gratuitous shows of unprovoked violence, confirmed up late one evening outdoors Carlson’s household house, chanting “Tucker Carlson we are going to battle, we all know the place you sleep at evening” and “racist scumbag go away city.”
These ‘progressive’ liberals, having cried ‘racist’ on so many events up to now, threat struggling the identical destiny because the little boy who cried wolf as soon as too typically. Simply this week, for instance, Democrats screamed ‘racism’ over a political poster that depicts the mayor of San Francisco as – perish the thought! – a rich elitist.

Democrats cry racism over marketing campaign poster exhibiting black SF mayor smoking with stack of cash
The poster, paid for by a Republican opponent, exhibits a cartoon caricature of Mayor London Breed in a crimson costume sitting along with her excessive heels propped up on a desk. She is holding a stack of in her left hand and a cigarette in the best. Such elitist cliches have been used myriad instances up to now to painting white male energy constructions with none outcry over ‘racism’. But when the idea is utilized to a minority black girl, the PC police are duly notified and a full-blown political disaster is asserted. The message right here is that minorities are past all reproach. Fortunately, a variety of folks took to social media to level out the double requirements and hypocrisy.

In the meantime, there may be actual irony within the liberal marketing campaign to toss the ‘racist’ epitaph round with reckless abandon. In actual fact, if a gaggle of enraged Liberals took up the ‘Racist Watch’ problem and appeared on the properties of the blacklisted folks, they could be very shocked to find who lives at these addresses.
There’s a likelihood they’d come face-to-face with in style video bloggers Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, two African-Individuals higher generally known as ‘Diamond and Silk’, who’ve thrown their assist behind Donald Trump. Or maybe they’d present up on the door of actor and comic Terrence Okay. Williams, one other African-American pro-Trump commentator who has left a mark on social media. And I might actually hope, for his or her sake, that some misguided liberal protesters by no means have the misfortune of protesting in opposition to racism outdoors the home of Candace Owens, some of the vocal African-American supporters of Trump, in addition to one of many greatest critics of the Democratic Social gathering at this time.
The lesson right here is that whereas racism definitely exists in america, it doesn’t seem like anyplace close to the five-alarm ranges because the PC police would have us imagine. The racist hysteria is being politically pushed in an effort to painting Trump and his tens of millions of supporters as sub-human xenophobes and ‘haters’. That is the best way the liberals hope to steal the White Home in 2020, by low cost fearmongering.
Fortuitously, many Individuals are ‘woke’ to the rip-off.
