I
don't know if Trump is personally a racist and I don't care.
Trump's
behavior includes the following red flags:
Trump
denied housing to African Americans.
See
here: http://www.npr.org/2016/09/29/495955920/donald-trump-plagued-by-decades-old-housing-discrimination-case
Trump
set up a front group whose sole purpose was to defame Native Americans as drug
abusing criminals.
For
almost twenty years, Trump refused to pay Polish workers he treated abominably.
Trump
prefers to hire Romanians and other foreigners rather than black people born in
the US. See here: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/26/us/politics/donald-trump-taps-foreign-work-force-for-his-florida-club.html?_r=0
Black
employees were hidden from his view http://fortune.com/2016/06/07/donald-trump-racism-quotes/
And
of course he called for the death penalty for the Central Park Five *after*
they were exonerated by DNA evidence.
Trump
repeatedly lied about having evidence proving that Barack Obama was not born in
America.
Trump
refused three times, on camera, to denounce David Duke and the KKK.

When
Trump encountered backlash, Trump lied about his words. He blamed a "bad
earpiece," saying that he could not hear Jake Tapper. In fact he repeated
Jake Tapper's words.
Trump
denounced a heroic judge as unworthy to adjudicate a case for no other reason
than that that judge was the son of immigrants.
Trump
disseminated an anti-Semitic meme defaming Hillary Clinton.
Trump's
final two-minute campaign advertisement dog-whistled anti-Semites by depicting
three prominent Jews, Janet Yellen, George Soros and Lloyd Blankfein, as being
part of a conspiracy against decent Americans.
Trump's
followers now insist that any bad press Trump receives is part of a conspiracy
by an evil Jew who controls the world, George Soros.
For
an example of this, see this comment under the "Sieg Heil" video,
here Comment: "Reminder that all of this is staged by George Soros to
discredit Trump and his supporters as racists and neo-Nazis." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o6-bi3jlxk&lc=z13dxhxzuzbhcd5gm04cdtfxgry1jpwauqs0k
Or
this meme: http://truthfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/402x381xsoros-puppet-master.jpg.pagespeed.ic.QIurL7hNFO.jpg
And
then there is this GIF of Trump, dressed as a Nazi, gassing Hillary Clinton: http://www.infostormer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Trump-Gassing-Hillary.gif
And
then there is this ADL report: http://www.adl.org/assets/pdf/press-center/CR_4862_Journalism-Task-Force_v2.pdf
White
supremacists celebrated Trump's election and his initial appointments of Jeff
Sessions, who joked about the KKK and was deemed unfit for a federal judgeship
on that basis, and Steve Bannon, who identified his website as a platform for
the alt right. See here: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/11/donald-trumps-white-nationalist-bannon-sessions-alt-right

During
the campaign, Team Trump released lie after lie. Fake news flooded my Facebook
page, all posted by Trump supporters.
Hillary
Clinton murdered JFK Jr See here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3539583/Conspiracy-theorist-claims-Hillary-Clinton-murdered-John-F-Kennedy-Jnr-planning-run-senate-seat-shocking-new-book.html
Hillary
Clinton murdered an FBI agent. See here: http://www.snopes.com/fbi-agent-murder-suicide/
Hillary

Hillary

Tim
Kaine is in an open marriage: http://www.snopes.com/tim-kaine-open-marriage/
Fake
news writers make up to $30,000 monthly. The man who wrote the fake
Hillary-murders-an-FBI agent story said he tried to write fake news for
liberals but they wouldn't buy it. Trump supporters bought his swill, no matter
how absurd. See here: http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/11/23/503146770/npr-finds-the-head-of-a-covert-fake-news-operation-in-the-suburbs

Under
pressure from journalists, Trump has issued tepid words against hate. But only
when prompted, and only tepid. Compare his denunciations of race hatred with
his attacks on beauty pageant contestants and Broadway musical actors.
***
White
supremacists and Neo-Nazis play at "passing," at speaking under the
radar to see how much they can get away with.
Richard
Spencer, the man in the Hail Trump video released earlier this week, said,
"Hail victory." In German, "hail victory" is "sieg
heil."
Spencer
could have said "sieg heil." That is clearly what he meant. He's
playing at passing. Playing at how much you will swallow.
Another
"passing" game. Spencer used the word "lugenpresse," or
lying press.
Remember
Joseph Goebbels February 10, 1933 speech at the Sportspalast. Hitler had just
won a victory and the first thing Goebbles did was attack the press. Beware, my
friends, of those who attack the press, artists, universities, and Jews. See
here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcjvpQ86zPc
"Lugenpresse"
is a Nazi term. Spencer used a Nazi term, that few Americans would be familiar
with.
And
guess what Breitbart, which is virtually an arm of team Trump, is now doing.
Breitbart is now covering for Spencer and for the term lugenpresse.
http://www.breitbart.com/…/20…/11/23/kassam-bbc-lugenpresse/
When
haters play passing, they are seeing how much you will put up with before they
move on to the next level.
You
put up with calling Mexicans rapists? Okay. Let's move on to the next level.
You
put up with demeaning a heroic judge? Okay, next level.
You
put up with an anti-Semitic meme? Okay, next level.
You
*voted* for *all this* for president? Okay, next level ...

Otto's
dad served in Hitler's army. Otto is working on a book about WW II.
Otto
understands how all this works.
Otto:
First
he's already mobilized the dogs of war on the racist front, so if he didn't
believe in the hate group mentality he should have said that before the
election. But it appears he had plenty of time to consider his words, support
for hate, and his political appointments and it was only when he felt it didn't
suit his aspirations did he change his stance. Political game of tag and not
moral awakening.
Kristallnacht
at the hands of the Fuhrer followed up by speech suggesting all he wants is
safety for the German people in the Sudetenland … I'm expecting the Reichstag
will burn down mysteriously.
Fool
me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, fool me the thousandth time
vote for Trump.
We
see how loose and free he is with the truth. Does 1984 newspeak proud. Today's
speech is old by the end of the day and we've seen he'll flip his beliefs on a
dime. Given how many times he's reacted to things on video that he's said that
are ugly and claimed he never said I'm just putting it down as an another random
thought de jour on today's menu board that gets wiped clean as the menu offered
changes day to day.
***
Finally,
neither Otto nor I is saying that Trump is Hitler or that Trump is even like
Hitler. I don't think he is.
Rather,
hate is a game. It is played in a predictable way. Exploiting hate to gain
power is a game. It has predictable moves. Trump is playing the game of
exploiting hate to gain power. That much is clear. What he does with the power
he gains is yet to be seen.
That
his supporters are turning on patriotic Americans who reject hate is also part
of the game.
David
French was savaged by Trump supporters. See here: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/441319/donald-trump-alt-right-internet-abuse-never-trump-movement
Ben
Shapiro faces ongoing attacks and threats from Trump supporters. See here: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/435527/donald-trumps-anti-semitic-supporters
And
Trump supporters, rather than confront and condemn the hate crimes that have
followed his election, have labeled all such crimes fabrications. At least one
pro Trump website falsely blamed Jews for faking hate crimes. See here: http://www.jta.org/2016/11/17/news-opinion/united-states/huckabee-apologizes-for-blaming-vandalism-on-jewish-liberals-seeking-to-smear-trump
From the above linked article:
"Mike
Huckabee apologized for posting a false news report blaming “liberal, Jewish”
students for an alleged hate crime that involved a mention of President-elect
Donald Trump.
The
story, appearing on the Conservative Tribune website, blamed an attack in March
at Northwestern University on “liberal, Jewish Northwestern students” seeking
to smear Trump and his supporters....
Huckabee
proceeded to apologize for posting an out of date story as if it was news, and
for misidentifying the students as Jewish — although he appeared to persist in
the belief that the claim that they were Jewish had been in some way credible.
He stuck to the unproven claim that the vandalism was an attempt to smear
Trump.
Huckabee,
who has millions of followers on Facebook, frequently posts poorly sourced
stories from conservative websites....
“They’re
two liberal, Jewish Northeastern students who were trying to smear Trump and
his supporters,” Huckabee’s post said.
The
Conservative Tribune story made it appear as if the vandalism was recent,
although it took place in March...
The
Chicago Tribune did not identify the accused, Anthony Morales, 19, and Matthew
Kafker, 18, with any political allegiance or otherwise suggest that the attack
was a false flag bid to smear Trump, nor did it say they were Jewish...
The Jewish identification remained on the
Gateway Pundit’s posting Wednesday night. It’s not clear why the Gateway Pundit
made the assumption; it linked to a New York Jewish Week account of the
vandalism, which did not identify the students as Jewish.
