In reply to the discussion: Mary Trump Has Terrifying Explanation For Trump's White Supremacist Comments [View all]zentrum
(9,865 posts)12. Not sure it stops here.
His comments have to do with ginning up a justification to declare martial law a-la Roger Stone's advice.
His comments give the wink and nod to all systemically racist law & order organizations.
The cops in NY are already acting very heavy handed in response to small peaceful BLM protests. They descend in large numbers, sirens blaring, mask-less (which is a Trump support sign) and create a tense hair-trigger atmosphere. I'm convinced that if they weren't all being filmed by about 50 people, we'd have many arrests and god knows what else.
The police union in NYC has come out in support of T. This is outrageous.
The debate support of the Proud Boys is part of a larger polarization than just activating a few armed people.

OP
The problem is that you didn't support violence, you seemed to trivialize its importance.

Thanks, I guess I am getting kind of old. Don't know why, but I know she is his brother's child.

That's a pretty short sighted comment. Minorities have taken over many times on this planet ...

The proud boys AND boogaloo (honestly, the idiotic names) had a "rally" a week or so back.

See post 8. They are a force that would be easily dealt with if that were necessary.

They'll be wearing T-shirts identifying themselves as White Supremacists?

I should have said "too bright" - not "to". It's early here and no coffee. But yea. Basement Bois.

Why is this more terrifying than the fact that he is actually a white supremacist?

Trump says things like that because he dreams of being a "tough guy," like in a movie.
