He does not explicitly appeal to or endorse white identity politics. Where's the proof for your outrageous statement?
And what exactly is wrong with wanting to "take back your country"? He's talking about enforcing existing laws like having borders.

- briandear 10y agoCould it not be argued that Clinton engages in non-white identity politics? Her 'deplorables' comment was almost entirely referring to white people. Plenty of deplorables that are Democrat and non-white but her comment was playing the identity card just as deftly as Trump's people have.

- kazagistar 10y agoThis is the sort of BS that ruins any chance of dialogue. Just calling someone or some action a label is not productive, just like anti-abortion activists calling it baby killing or whatever. The people who support those actions aren't going to think they are any less good, just, fair, moral etc just because you gave it an overly dramatic label. Why not discuss impact, moral principles, or whatever else actually makes it possible to at least start from a middle ground?
- atomi 10y agoI don't care what you call it. I caution you to not let the pretense of law and order obfuscate the real consequences of some of these abhorrent policies.
