"Jobs for 'loyal' Americans"

[HopeAgain]

Did anyone else notice that Trump said yesterday at the Boeing plant that his Administration will work to create jobs for all "loyal" Americans?

I find that a very concerning use of an adjective. Presidents don't usually link economic growth to loyalty. Loyal to what and who? Is it going to be their plans to create jobs in only states and areas that voted for Trump using infrastructure programs? Is it going to be a justification for not creating job programs in coastal cities, especially inner cities?

Even if it is just Bannon rhetoric, is is truly fascist and troubling rhetoric.

2. My impression is that they're redefining

"American" as "Republican." So requiring loyalty to Trump is not a stretch. Very troubling, I agree.

6. well, at his press conference he suggested only republican citizens' voices matter on health care

or, depending on how you read his gibberish, that only republicans should get health care.

We’ve begun preparing to repeal and replace Obamacare. Obamacare is a disaster, folks. It is’s disaster. I know you can say, oh, Obamacare. I mean, they fill up our alleys with people that you wonder how they get there, but they are not the Republican people our that representatives are representing.

3. I noticed it, it stuck out to me as, you have to be pro trump to get what you want

This is how they operate in Turkey and Russia....

Seen it first hand in Turkey. You had to sign up to the AKP, go to pro akp meetings, run in the right circles to get any business done, if you didnt you went to the back of the line, nothing got done. Contracts would all go to Erdogan people. If you needed a permit for anything, if you were not pro erdogan, forget it.

Trump will try the same thing......

5. He is using the dog whistles

so the rubes think only 'they' are loyal because they are lemmings.

This ilk thinks dissent is treason, rather than challenging the status quo. Granted they don't understand the meaning of status quo. The very idea of beginning to undertake a subtle idea of this McCarthy-esque behavior is ripping us to shreds. Sadly he is only reaching a small but violent percentage of Americans that will use 2nd Amendment remedies.
