Donald Trump's campaign gave white supremacists a soap box upon which to legitimize their beliefs of hate and fear. Hate and fear lead to totalitarian states and the authors opinion that Islamic state is the greatest threat to this country as opposed to the hate and fear that trumps campaign legitimized is unfortunate for the future of our country.
- timdafweak 10y agoAbsolutely, this. They feel their platform is now legitimized, as evidenced by Trump supporters marching through colleges shouting "white rule", klansmen walking around in klan garb... daily reports of Muslims being harassed in schools, streets and elsewhere. Although Trump won't institute any overtly racist policies, he will also not oppose the racists who supported him. This, In their minds gives them the legitimacy to operate in the open. We've already seen this start.
