Hey Eric, just for fun, let’s go back in time and see how people like you treated those getting off the boats.

NatC's

That’s a lot of words when all he needed was fourteen

The 14 words seem like a fair summary of this text. "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children"

Oddly enough, I have a member of the Trump regime saying the 14 words on my 2025 bingo card

"settlers, explorers, and pioneers" AKA migrants?

AKA colonialists, while we're at it.

One might even say "invaders", which, come to think of it, might be the issue. They think that people from South America are going to treat them like their ancestors treated the Indigenous population

Morherfucker, your last name is Schmitt. Your ancestors were the Hessians getting their drunk asses ambushed by George Washington on Christmas.

Good lord what a loser

The entitlement is off the charts.

This guy's entire thing is being mad about The 1619 Project

In case of interest, here’s the full transcript of Schmitt’s speech. www.dailysignal.com/2025/09/02/s...

"Americans are a mix of “the most adventurous, the most courageous, the most curious and innovative” of the English, Scotch-Irish, and continental Europeans" Just say Aryans and that the Irish-Irish are not really true whites.

has anyone checked if Eric is related to Carl

Literally white former conservative Christian Republican USAF Veteran it's freaking impossible to be whiter than me here but I have an actual education in American and Christian history. Yes, the freaking point of America was in being a universal nation and rejecting kings and shit.

What about the slaves, Eric?

"Scotch-Irish" 🤔

This is extremely unconvincing bullshit

They had to add “continental European” because he and Trump are of post-Civil War German heritage

This guy is a Nazi

probably the highest level of Shoot That Guy particles coming from a US senator in a solid minute.

Sitting US Senator!

That too

Tamed a “continent” = all those Injuns.

I cannot express in words how much I absolutely loathe these blood-and-soil nationalists and how much I will delight in the demise of each of them. They are adamantly wrong about the fundamental nature of America and their incorrectness is motivated from a place of unadulterated evilness.

Are they wrong though? What part of centuries of chattel slavery and Trump being elected twice are they misreading? The US is ideally nice and in practice a horrible bigoted white supremacist murder machine

Slavery was only legal in a handful of states and it built nothing but some fancy estates for wannabe lords that prevented the rest of the country from the earnings of their labor. Turns out it's hard to compete with free labor. Trump was elected because we again have wannabe lords.

the "fundamental nature" of a state that was founded due to genocide and built due to slavery is really really really bad.

The on-the-ground reality that your assessment runs into is that black Americans have shown themselves repeatedly to be more loyal to the country than white Americans

Much agreed! If folks who come from significantly less privileged backgrounds than me haven't given up on America and its promise—even given centuries of reasons to do so—what right do I have to give up on it?

I'll fight not just for me, but for everyone who continues to believe in the universal dream of America, imperfect as the reality may continue to be.

Yeah like I can't take anyone seriously who calls the US hopeless in 2025 when even this country now under its wretched leaders would be a dream worth fighting to preserve and repair to people who have come before. People should understand how tone-deaf they sound

look, you were making a comment about the "fundamental nature" of the country. not its ideals, not whether it's worth fighting for, and not whether anyone responding has volunteered thousands of hours for progressive candidates. nature =/= ideals.

even if there *weren't* an ideal or dream worth fighting for, people must fight in the US just to live, and have dignity. it's always worth a fight. but that doesn't mean that there is some fundamental goodness to the nature of the country. they don't have to both be true.

I have not said anything about the nature of the country or about volunteering for candidates. You have.

Too frequently assessments of "the nature of the country" give all the weight to slavery and oppression, and completely discard the idea that the rejection of these evil could be part of the nature of the country.

uhhh I don't know what "loyal to the country" even means

Unfortunately they are massively ascendant not just amongst other Nazis on Twitter and at NatCom but amongst most trillionaires in Silicon Valley and the mainstream corporate news media

Fortunately, though, that changes little about what we ultimately must do: Win. The country, the world & the future are all counting on us.

hey @machete.gay what are the chances this guy has some things to say about the whiteness of italians

glad to be considered african again www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyLC...

So, why were the "Indians" waging war on their stockades btw?

I'll just leave this article here www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This land is your land, this land is my land. Not even, this is land stolen by a mongrel horde and as inheritors of that horror we should actually be figuring out universal values to cling to and protect in order to make amends. This nazi shit pushes me into straight incoherence.

It's darkly hilarious that he realizes a guy named Schmitt doesn't fit his own definition of Real Americans and carves out an unexplained special exception for 19th century German immigrants and German immigrants only.

None of these asshats do. They're just cosplaying as us.

Make America White Again

A more explicit justification for ethnic cleansing can't be found. This guy wants to Make America White Again.

I am hereby renouncing my whiteness.

Their ancestors came here driven by destiny. The rest of us came here to annoy them.

Yawn. Another Nazi. I’m with Indiana Jones on this

so what he's saying is if migrants come in big enough numbers and forcibly overwhelm the existing inhabitants with their verve curiosity and drive they will become the uber-Americans

The former CEO of Google? What???

Senator from Missouri, different person

Total Blood and Soil stuff. Jeez Louise.

native ???

Oh this is just fucking gross

Native Americans would like a word, I’m sure.

Does he think the Scots and Irish are one people or is he deliberately excluding the Catholics?

🤮

You know, I'm a direct line descendant of the exact kind of Scotch-Irish settlers he is praising here, and he makes us sound like a tribe of brigands.

What a narrow view of America and its place in the world.

It’s describing a trailer park filled with sex offenders.

Like Israel - finally, a motherland for the nomadic, persecuted diaspora of whitey

*cries in Missouri*

The GOP is loud and clear: you are with their white Christian fascist dream or this country is not yours & you don't matter. He also tells MAGAts that all the swindles and endless wars (he admits didn't help the US) that they suffered thru are liberals' fault & not due to GOP corruption.

📌

Wait, did he explicitly exclude the Irish?

Oh it's even worse than you think. That "Scotch-Irish" line carries a whole extra load of WTF if you understand the history of why North Ireland isn't part of Ireland…

Haha, whoops

👍

....why did they have to build a homeland if they already had one (England, Scotland, Ireland, etc)?

One amazing feature of this speech is how Schmitt extols the creative brilliance of Americans like himself while trotting out every cliched thing every white American child was taught in the Reagan era into which he was socialized...not a single reference here is remotely original.

I was a white American child in the Reagan era, I wasn’t taught this. Reagan was explicitly creedal, not racial. Not saying the arguments aren’t old or unoriginal, mind you. Jesse Helms would love tf out of this GOP.

I didn't mean the racial stuff, I just meant the frontier, astronaut, Jesse James shit. The racial stuff was implicit in the Reagan era for most folks, but more up front for the Helms types who, it turns out, were the future of the party.

The full speech is here...astronauts on the moon! Daniel Boone! Pilgrims! The telegraph! Lucky Lindy's trans-Atlantic flight! Taming the wild frontier! Jesse James! Manifest Destiny! Mt. Rushmore! All wrapped up in an extended version of the 14 words! www.dailysignal.com/2025/09/02/s...

The best part is that the ad at the end of Schmitt's speech, on this Heritage Foundation sponsored website, is for a book that is a loud echo of Elizabeth Dilling's classic of antisemitic American Fascism, The Octopus.

Have I mentioned lately that Heritage has a journalism fellowship named after the Guardabassi family, the male head of which was one of Mussolini's emissaries in the US in the 1930s, while his wife was a leading funder of US antisemites & neo-Nazis in the 1950s-60s. bsky.app/profile/seth...

oh gosh fascist conference, another one www.c-span.org/program/publ...

How long before they try to implement a jizya for non-whites?

Man, in the 1830's this guy would have gotten murdered for daring to imply that the Irish and WASPs were the same species

Is there a driving principle that leads these types to excluding the Irish?

The Irish have leftists and the Orangemen are notoriously fucking not

Protestant fundamentalism

He’s Catholic.

Huh. Internalized anti-Catholic dogwhistles from being surrounded by Protestant fundies on the American right, then?

The Americanist heresy infects all denominations

I think he’s sincerely a right-wing, populist, Catholic. Let’s not try to think too hard about this, or that he’s playing to the crowd. Give him agency.

Ah this explains it, he didn’t say it: bsky.app/profile/shar...

Whiteness either devours or destroys.

Did Eric Schmitt say this or was it Carl Schmidt?

"English, Scotch-Irish, and continental Europeans" is really saying something.

as an Irish Catholic it's going to disorienting when we go back to being designated non-white

PICTURED: Me

Weren’t those groups actively fighting wars against each other that most of the European immigrants to North America were trying to flee?

It's complicated, but they weren't necessarily Scottish or Irish, and the term gained traction to separate earlier migrants from the boom of Catholic Irish in the mid-late 19th c. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch-...

Thank you, because this term trips me up EVERY time

Not Sicilians, not Maltese, not Greek amirite folks

Too swarthy

You know, if I’m not being charitable (and I’m not) I can read that as saying Catholics aren’t American.

Looking forward to Italians getting their White Card revoked

The ones on the south shore of Long Island who gave festooned their houses with Trump flags in particular.

At the very least it's drawing a bizarre boundary around Irish Catholics specifically!

No it absolutely means that. They’re specifically referring to the Orangemen there.

Quite a few careful omissions in there who might not be included in this vision of "American."

“English, [descendants of Scottish people that 1st migrated to Ulster County, Eire, then emigrated to the US] and continental Europeans” is a racist idiot’s version of “All the White People” and lmao.

Also, what are the odds that Herr Schmitt probably doesn’t mean *all* “continental Europeans”?

As far as I can tell, those weren't his words, though. Note that the quotes end and begin again before and after this part. I'd think that we can criticize his racist message enough without putting words in his mouth

Oh the irony of including the Scotch-Irish in this. Nah, bro, we remember how you treated us back then.

There has been for the last decade an attempt to create a mythology about the “Scottish-Irish”, ie the Plantations lords and Orangemen. They want to whip up nationalism that isn’t Irish, because the Irish have like leftists

My Dad spent time in a cell for punching an English officer during his RAF service in the late 50's. The provocation was the officer repeatedly calling him "scotch" instead of Scots. "Scotch is a fucking drink" was the words he uttered after he was arrested by the m.p's.

Hell yeah to your dad.

This is very true. I will refrain from using that shorthand form in the future.

He was your perfectly balanced west of Scotland cliche. Chip on both shoulders!

Actually, I think we always use Scots-Irish. I was just picking it up from the transcript of that stupid speech.

Dolly Parton says 'Scotch-Irish' herself so I'm guessing it's acceptable terminology in those communities.

As an American idiom, “Scotch-Irish” isn’t considered an insult. Tho, every pasty JV Catholic in America who doesn’t have the social status to be a proper WASP calls themselves Scotch-Irish. Even if no branch of their family tree goes through Ulster County.

Still makes me yearn (once again) for an edit button!

One of the more batshit examples of this is when Confederate apologists try to recast the Civil War as a fight between a freedom-loving Celtic South and oppressive Yankee Puritans.

This is also part of a wider attempt by American evangelical right to link up to Northern Irish Unionist Parties like the DUP.

I suppose, but I doubt the numskull junior Senator from Missouri has much grasp of 21st century Irish/UK political beefs.

Oh there’s a lot of exchange over the years between Ulster and American evangelicals. Ian Paisley was a favourite of the American far right.

It’s also a way to claim Irishness but to distance themselves from the Papists

I don’t think the Papists mind the distance, tbh. Lol.

My family is Scotch-Irish because my husband is Scottish-American and I’m Irish-American and also due to a long history of our families moving back and forth between the two countries depending on which one the English most recently had warrants out for them in. But I totally know what you mean.

The Scots and my Bavarian ancestors were welcomed — as speed bumps on the frontier against the French and Spanish

Like, just say white already, you racist prick.

He's elaborating his own bespoke assesment of who's white enough to be American.

Anyone who doesn't fit into those categories are just "sparkling pale"

This is the senator, not the google ceo right?

yes

It's just the Confederacy 2.0

Very Schmitt-ian

LoL my first thought

My ancestors arrived here from Suffolk County, England, in 1650, and I utterly reject his miserable twisting of American history, one that somehow overlooks the indigenous and enslaved Africans.

Fuck this piece of trash and his blood-and-soil Nazi bullshit.

We shocked tho cuz I’m not by these fuvkers. They’ve told us for decades now who they are and we still don’t believe them.

I guess I’ll just see my Irish catholic ass out…

"& continental Europeans... & that is why we must kick out the Spanish"

"the most curious and innovative of the...continental Europeans". That means only Protestants.

Like, Republican Italians and white Cubans may *think* they're included, but very clearly they don't count. Honestly I suspect the only reason continental Europeans were included at all is because this is a dude named "Schmitt."

uaghfhhghh Schmitt is CATHOLIC yet that doesn't mean you're wrong

What the fuck, then? Why is he excluding the Irish?

Does he think "Scotch-Irish" means "Scots and Irish"?

At any rate, crazy that you can be a US Senator and explicitly say "America isn't for Black people," and it'll get basically no attention at all.

Part of it the cowed media not covering anything that might blow up and make Trump mad, but also unfortunately the zeitgeist

You Americans in Republican strongholds at least are beginning to go Jim Crow like

I think it was basically Sharon's point about "Albion's seed" & the general notion of "heritage Americans" to which any immigrants are latecomers with no ownership claim, but put in a way that doesn't quite sound like you're telling Italians to go to hell. It's careless & incomplete bullshit.

I feel like if you are a German Catholic from fucking St. Louis you should not be saying shit like this.

People who believe in "heritage Americans" don't count you either, Eric.

They can’t explicitly say Black, Asian and Hispanic people aren’t Americans but they want to!

They are pretty explicitly saying that! Just also kind of clumsily implying that a bunch of white people aren't Americans either.

Their ideal rule lets them deem Chuck Schumer "Palestinian" & promptly drop a SDB on him

Because he's an unserious bigot who's dancing around a selection of slurs

Which part of my Mexican heritage gets to stay in the US? Just the European side?

Just the most desirable bits, i.e. Protestant Northern European.

One drop rule presumably applies. If you're not of the Approved Lineage, then the ancestry and stereotypes most offensive to the base will be emphasized

One drop rule, with a generalized Pocahontas exception so no one they deem worthy gets swept up

Oh yeah good catch there, but there has to be an exception to the exception so that Trump can persecute turncoats who happen to be nonwhite, even as he drums up the codewords (or just the naked bigotry)

Depends on what they see in your social media history

The Europeans are probably presumed part Moorish or something.

I like that he clearly tacked on that bit about "continental Europeans" because his name is Schmitt.

"Continental Europeans " WOW. That's a shock to the First Peoples. What a bunch of racist bull.

Not even the Irish or Germans bro ?

This is a direct threat to me and mine. It is erasure of the 20th Century. The descendants of those "pioneers and settlers" called my great-grandparents diseased rats and vermin, polluting the purity of this country, and moving in where they didn't belong.

They told my children's great-grandparents they were not welcome - or, as citizens, were disloyal, to be imprisoned without charge. This is ethnosupremacy. This is a sitting Senator erasing me from the nation where I have been a citizen all my life, that my grandfather went to war to defend.

Complete erasure of the 20th Century.

note: the choice of English and continental Europeans is not explicitly mentioned in the transcript and appears to be what the New Right listener implicitly understood as the American ethnos

"A mix* of... English, Scotch-Irish and continental Europeans" most of whom presently think we Americans are cnts. Yeehaw! *Despite our best efforts in the late 19th - early 20th centuries "Tamed a continent" by stealing and raping, murdering and enslaving anyone we could Fk this colonialists POS

Only includes the Presbyterian / Calvinist Irish people from the north too. That's curious.

Got some bad news for folks who think they're in the right box, it gets smaller and smaller...

everything within quotes is from the speech though

sort of baffled at the reason the Catholic rightist praising this speech editorialized it there of all places

did they feel the need to include themselves in the list of good europeans, lmao?

Yes. www.history.com/articles/whe...

I would assume yes

anyways, link for those wanting to read it in its entirety without editorialization: www.dailysignal.com/2025/09/02/s...

"But the Left took these principles and drained them of all underlying substance, turning the American tradition into a deracinated ideological creed." Deracinated? Versus 'racinated'?

Ngrams: deracinate (peaks 1776-1865?), deracinated (resurgence 1954- ...?).

Wow, even a shoutout to Nazi-admirer Lindbergh.

📌

An American is anyone who lives in America for any amount of time.

“They are the elites who rule everywhere but are not truly from anywhere.” antisemitic dog whistle

📌

I would have read "English, Scotch-Irish...." as a signal that the volk is exclusively protestant.

Any Catholic who is stupid enough to believe that we're going to be part of the ruling class knows nothing about American history. Or else they are planning on pledging loyalty to the Church of America, when Trump decides that Pope Leo is too woke

I am glad you added this to your post. I didn’t notice the selective use of quotes at first. I was appalled that a US Senator would say the whites-only part in public.

thanks my ancestors who spent 4000 years in Northumberland would be mortified by the possible inclusion of the Jutes

Thanks for flagging. I'd posted about that on the other site, but if it's not in the transcript I'm deleting.

basically everything within the quotes *is* in the transcript but the specific mention of anything outside of the scots-irish is not

Do you have a link?

www.dailysignal.com/2025/09/02/s...

This jackass isn't good enough to shine Wattenberg's shoes.

Thanks!

This made me laugh. The United States is almost a century older than Italy!

Didn’t Germans sign a paper in like the 1880’s making them “Germany”? Before that they were a bunch of wackado duchies and principates - Saxony, Westfalia, Bavaria. Yall know, Crusaders Kings type shit

Germany existed as a political entity since 843 (with maybe a couple of temporary breaks in the Napoleonic era and right before unification), just not as a unitary nation-state in the modern sense.

But there was a Kingdom of Germany from 843 to 1806 (it was the main constituent part of the Holy Roman Empire), and there was a German Confederation from 1815 to 1866.

"The Germanies"

yes, Ohio is actually older than "Germany" or "Italy"

Ohio is still the west in my heart! Midwestern Emo keeps the history of Ohios Westness alive! Actually as a Kentuckian, Ohio is just the north to me lol

1871, and they made sure to do it by proclaiming the German Empire in Versailles after humiliating Napoleon III. Imagine if the US declared independence in London after defeating George III.

Man that would have been sweet.

bsky.app/profile/docb...

ancient countries like Czechoslovakia, the Free City of Danzig

European small-r republicans spent 150 years looking toward *us* and the example of *our* history & model to inspire *them*

Also, it isn't. They're Kazakhs!

Damn I cannot believe a landlocked nation with a total population around that of the NYC MSA wouldnt be instantly turned into the global hegemon by changing its laws around

Must be because of the shapes of their skulls or something God, racists are so fucking stupid

"Kazakhstanis" is brilliant, a self-refuting statement

Kazakhstanis refers to all citizens of Kazakhstan regardless of their ethnicity. Not all Kazakhstanis are Kazakhs, not all Kazakhs are Kazakhstanis. The government itself insists on using it in most cases. They only really use "Kazakh", singular, as an adjective. qazinform.com/news/head-of...

Well...Kazakhs are the majority ethnic group, but you can also say "Kazakhstanis" if you want to make sure to include all citizens, many of whom are not ethnically Kazakh (e.g. Russians). It's the same in Turkey. A pedantic point except Schmitt is precisely debating ethnic vs. civic belonging!

You're right, I am hoist on my own pedantic petard; Kazakhstani is listed as one appropriate demonym.

Perhaps he is differentiating between ethnic Kazakhs and citizens of Kazakhstan, a significant plurality of whom are ethnic Russians and other formerly Soviet nationalities. If so, he is indisputably a Russian asset and must be arrested and yeeted into the sun at once.

overcorrecting for the p-word

LMAO someone corrected Hochmann in between posting the speech at Daily Signal and him promoting it online.

It’s a terrible comparison. Citizens of Kazakhstan are called Kazakhstani. Like 30 percent of the country are Russian or Uzbek or whatever. There was a community of hundreds of thousands of German speaking Germans there till not that long ago. Hochman is an idiot who knows nothing of the world.

This is coming from someone who would definitely reject the Constitution and all it stood for if the revolution were today

I don't want to pile on here but just to emphasize: you don't have to be an ethnic Kazakh to be Kazakhstani, you could be ethnically Russian, Korean, Uyghur, etc. It's a pretty diverse country

This is true of all of the "stan"s

📌

And we're once again back to "blood and soil." Its always mythological, magical thinking, jingostic colonialism nonstop with these small minded racist morons.

The New Confederacy of Dunces.

vile.

Loudest applause from a bunch of people whose ancestors were not considered white

American Nazis hate education for a reason

My wife’s family goes back to one of the ships right after the Mayflower and they completely reject this nonsense as pure evil / bigotry and entirely un American.

So it's fuck those Hiberno-Irish and the damn Papist Catholics then? Interesting for him to revive the Know Nothing platform.

He's of German Catholic extraction. He's propbably just an idiot who thinks that Scotch-Irish means Scots and Irish.

*probably

Also incredible that for him the Welsh are untermenschen. How very Saxon.

I haven't heard of it since HP Lovecraft.

bsky.app/profile/bran...

While this regime just torpedoed a boat of people in cold blood.

My first European-Amerindian ancestor was born in 1548, 30-40 miles from where I was born and founded a city that lends its name to a Mexican Federal State. His father came to these lands 5-10 years earlier, way before any of the parents of the crew and travelers of the Mayflower were born.

Not a word about the CSA that tried to break the Union and killed a lot of those men of steel.

Ok I know I’m being foolish for even engaging, but if you’re gonna imagine common cause and stretch American patrimony back to the Puritans and Massachusetts Bay Colony then you gotta be pro refugee, sorry

(I actually read a biography of John Winthrop like 10 years ago and from what I remember of it they thought the Church of England and the Presbyteries were both corrupt whores of Babylon and pretty much wanted to create a Protestant Reformist theocracy, so they were not exactly tolerant…

…but that’s not the story we tell ourselves about the pilgrims, welcoming people of different backgrounds including those rejected in their native landed and self-determination in a free land The hallmark version of the pilgrim story is: Liberty & Refuge = Good)

This speech is treason

Eric Schmitt is an epic choad, but yeah

📌

This is gross, sad, frightening.

All this stupid shit is going to blow over… Right?

I want to eradicate the slaver mentality infecting all these assholes from off the face of the earth.

America is not everything and everyone. Specifically, it's not and ethnostate and Eric Schmitt doesn't belong here. He is a traitor.

For a second I read Eric Schmidt.

That was exactly what I read

This part is unbelievable. I seem to recall there being another part/people to Missouri’s expansion between 1840 and 1860 but I just can’t put my finger on it.

Also wondering what was going on in what is now Germany back in the 1840s that caused people to leave for Missouri?

I think it's a tell of how difficult it is to integrate these foreign ideas about nationality into the American context that he still finds himself referring to the settlers as having a cause.

The settlers had a cause of being left in peace and leaving others in peace. We've gotten better at it as the decades have gone by until now.

Arguably the single biggest obstacle to the American herrenvolkists is the fact that every single American read the Gettysburg Address and Declaration of Independence when they were in school

I think you're overestimating the amount of Americans who could accurately summarize those documents unfortunately

For how much longer?

American public schools for the win! 🇺🇸🧑‍🏫👍

yeah 'proposition' in here feels specifically drawn from gettysburg and nation as 'homeland for themselves + their descendants' uncomfortably close to duke's 14 words

Believing in the ideology of this guy (or JD Vance) basically requires believing that Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson were wrong, and I think they are significantly underestimating how difficult it will be to get Americans to think that!

I want to believe this.

Not to mention just how outnumbered they are. Like I don’t want to be too rosy about racial integration but it’s just impossible for me to spend time in booming New South suburbs and think that all these Black, Asian, MENA, and Latino families are going away.

One reason I really appreciate @ad-mastro.bsky.social’s work is that he chronicles this suburban transformation — which has been ongoing for decades — but it just makes the white national conservative impulse to somehow destroy this look even more impotent.

I think you’re on to something. After reading it the first thing I did was reread the gettysburg address to remind myself that, yes, indeed, “our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”

There was a movement for a bit to encourage kids to memorize the address in schools. I wonder if it still exists. It is more or less a perfect encapsulation of american civic piety.

It is still done in our public school. My eldest learned it during Trump 1..0. The first time I heard my son recite it flawlessly from memory, with great feeling, I was unexpectedly overcome with emotion. Tearing up just thinking about it. My youngest will get his turn this year.

I wish I believed that. But there is a sizable chunk of the population willing to throw away any & all public/political/historical figures for the sake of Trump & of white nationalism. They will divorce themselves from family & friends, for heaven's sake, so why would they spare anyone else?

A lot of non-Hispanic, non-immigrant whites believe that. But they are a hardly a majority, and even among them, maybe half (generous) believe something along those lines. So maybe between 25-33% of all Americans believe that, at best. Certainly enough to cause problems, but not overwhelming.

I get the political value of referring to these ideas as foreign, but it does bug me that this essentially brackets out the Chinese Exclusion Act &c as somehow an aberration

I think they're quite literally foreign, these Twittervolk guys are all reading Schmitt and Enoch Powell

Obviously there is an American nativist tradition (which includes Trump himself) but I think it's distinct from what the Claremont freaks are pushing.

I mean I don't think relying on foreign citations to provide an intellectual gloss to native politics is that new, but now I think we're splitting hairs

Well the central European bent is why they're all really hostile to democracy *even for the supposed ethnic group they're trying to protect*

The Western US was built by Chinese people who were largely then pushed out by the populace

“tamed a continent” smh

The powerful tornadoes and floods (and earthquakes!) that periodically trash his state would beg to differ.

Christ on a cracker wtaf

wave after wave of people who's land we took through force.

So disturbing how they’re not even including the token “I’m not racist!” lines anymore

Just straight up praising the Native American genocide, giving a middle finger to all immigrants (except for 19th century Germans preferably named Schmitt), and repeating "men" a bazillion times in case any racist white women were still under the delusion that their loyalty is appreciated

🎯

This happened on this administration’s Inauguration Day. It set the tone.

Not that it matters, but somebody ask this motherfucker what people used to say about Catholic immigrants.

He’s still saying it. Note he mentioned “Scots-Irish” but not “Irish”.

Can't trust the Irish you know. We're a bunch of rowdy whiskey-swilling Papists. Our men are a gang of brawling hooligans and our women a lot of promiscuous trollops.

Just mentioned it because he and his family are Catholic.

And Stephen Miller is a Jewish Nazi.

The Irish and Italians were not considered “white” for a looong time in US history

Yes, I’m aware.

huh, he has a list of people Fighting For American Causes and Union soldiers aren't on that list, I wonder why

These people must have literally never read a book.

Oh they've read a book.

Ironically though, Jeff Davis gave speeches in front of the Confederate Congress deriding Northerners as being descended from woke Puritan agitators… so of course the South wants to separate from these intolerable people…

Book learnin' is a tool of the devil and the gays, don't ya know.

“Pilgrims struggling to survive in the hard winter soil of Plymouth…?” Wait—we have a holiday about that! And, oh, in the classic story of that holiday, the pilgrims were helped by…fuck, they were helped by SOMEONE…I can’t remember who it was, exactly… …anyway, yeah, and repelling war bands!!!

Fuck this fucking guy. Wish him nothing but the worst imaginable things.

Don’t give this shit any more air

These guys literally want to erase Black Americans and their story from history.

I miss the days when conservatives shot Nazis instead of being Nazis

The us conservatives sided with Nazis in before ad during ww2

White Nationalist Christofascist bullshit.

I can translate this entire speech to “I love my farts so much I think I’m God’s chosen.”

The sublimation of "I was born correct" to whatever this is is so pathetic

JFC

I guess we just needed a little lebensraum before it was a thing. Nazi hipsters, if you will.

Read the full speech. Weird how slavery never happened. Nor the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. You’d never know Phyllis Wheatley, or Frederick Douglass, or Fannie Lou Hamer, or Dr. King were a part of our collective national history. Odd. I’m sure just an accidental omission from the Nazi Senator.

This is some racist bullshit, but also does this guy know what 1780s Americans thought of French, Italian, and Slavic folks.

We got better.

Real ‘ein volk’ vibes in all of this. Nation of the creed nowhere to be found here.

This is Nazi propaganda
