"What gave us Donald Trump is what gave us Dylann Roof."
On June 16, 2015, Donald Trump took the stage at his eponymous tower in New York City and announced his bid for the White House. His message was clear. “The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everyone else's problems,” Trump said.
A day later, in South Carolina, 21-year-old Dylann Roof walked into Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, where members were holding Bible study. Using a .45-caliber Glock handgun and eight magazines of ammunition, Roof shot and killed nine people, including the pastor, the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, who was also a state senator. Before he arrived at the church, Roof posted a manifesto on his website, a racist tirade that expressed his motives. His message was also clear. “Integration has done nothing but bring Whites down to level of brute animals,” wrote Roof.
Indeed, when read together, Trump’s announcement and Roof’s manifesto offer a duet in racial grievance.
“When Mexico sends its people,” Trump said, “they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
(and it keeps going on from there)
so uhhh yeah, hey you know, i shouldn't be surprised cuz for most of the last year trump was pretty much 3/4 "literally hitler" and 1/4 "horseman of the apocalypse" so i suppose he's actually doing better to simply be compared to a massmurder than a genocidal despot or, of course, death riding in on his pale white horse... all because all the crybullies out there need to have some sort of "negative status" slapped on people they don't like so they can feel 100% inexorably superior to them by default (and why can i relate to this for some odd reason? hmmmm =)
