Trump's false claim here--about how "radical left globalists" (i.e. Soros) are the puppeteers who fund & organize civil rights protests--is the same basic story that the fascists of the 1950s and 60s told about the civil rights protests of that era. It's a familiar cocktail of racism & antisemitism.
He seems to forget Murdoch.
…and outside agitators trying to destroy our southern traditions.
George Wallace was the founder of the modern Republican Party.
I was dragged into the American political world9 yrs ago by my US living son (🇨🇦) and have heard endless threats/accusations by GOP concerning the cause of all problems - George Soros. I have never seen a picture of this alleged devil. I don't even know what he looks like! Is he real or a made up?
He's real, very old, he's a low level billionaire, he's not American, he's given $ to US Dem politicians & orgs, he's gone up against Hungary's dictatorship & anti-Semitism in Eastern Europe. This made the US RW, aligned w/ Russia & Hungary, furious & he was turned into the boogeyman "behind Obama."
I’m an American and I have the same question.
Every accusation is a confession with him. Musk Thiel Bezos Koch ...list goes on and on. And their operating system: Project 2025
It’s deeper than that. It’s Putin’s playbook. It’s the fascist playbook.
Thank you for your attention to this matter
For someone who’s never read a history book, tRump sure tries to rewrite them.
It's interesting to me people thought America made progress and now we're stuck in a bunch of choices arising out of what are probably driven by the beliefs of Trump's dad.
He’s one to talk about doing great damage to our country…..
THAT is the 'Trumpy IGNORANCE Cult' & TRAGIC TALE 👇 "trumpy dumpy NAZI REGIME" run by BLOATED MAGA goon "supremo" sin los cojones 👉 'trumpy dumpy aka EL PAYASO DEMENTE'!!! AND, ENABLED by the NAZI MAGA goons of the "trumper republican NAZI party"
What ever Trump says is projection, and the opposite is true. He is telling you what republicans are doing but projecting it onto democrats.
Old republican tropes never die, they just get recycled when convenient.
Hypocrisy…who funded the Jan 6th protests? He’s a dictator and has confirmed that several times this week while sitting in the White House.
Economic anxiety is as American as apple pie. Eugenics started that way
The old "outside agitators" story.
This is a longer thread on this. The racist frame of this false, fascistic narrative is that a) since Black Americans have it so great, b) there's no reason for them to protest & c) they're not capable of organizing themselves anyway, thus d) the canny Jews must be behind it bsky.app/profile/seth...
Your posts on this are SO helpful. I have read off and on for 50 years about this history, and I care about it, but it's never been my academic focus, so I don't have the knowledge even remotely at my finder tips. Thank you for being the historian who reminds us of this specific history!
This fascistic, conspiratorial narrative activates stereotypes that are deeply embedded in US political culture--since Black people are inherently less intelligent but physically strong, they must need an assist from physically weak but exceptionally clever Jews. Both groups supposedly "hate us."
This fascistic, racist, and antisemitic narrative offers a tidy explanation for current events. Why on earth would a diverse coalition of people be staging massive protests against American injustice when we are the greatest country in the world? Must be a commie plot hatched by un-American types.
It's also a standard dictatorial tactic, to crack down on activists and NGOs with the pretense that they're agents or puppets of corruptive foreign entities. Power when it's wielded as a cudgel follows depressingly familiar patterns and it's equally depressing how many people don't see the patterns.
This very old racist & antisemitic conspiracy theory--that "the Jews" are conspiring to turn white Christians into 2nd class citizens in their own country--has inspired more than one mass murder in the US. It's unfortnately become a basic GOP talking point. observatorioterrorismo.com/terrorismo-d...
When you see a house with shrubs under every window and blinds pulled down, you MIGHT be at the house with a peeper who grew up to own a house.
What happens when the FBI Safe Streets TF consults on the Saturday protest of a closed Planned Parenthood clinic? Stuff. Overtime stuff.
It's not like the cops gave organizers RIDES .... much. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZhF...
At three minutes, on the roofline you see the Binocs Guy spotter from the lethal overwatch
There is also the Reagan calumny in which the protesters are rowdy children who have been allowed to run wild through the lack of sufficiently disciplinary adults, and what society needs is a Big Daddy who will punish first all the people and institutions that *should* have disciplined the children.
They keep updating Protocols of the Elders of Zion for new audience and under new sauce. The jew haters will never stop, it gets passed down from one generation to the next. It's now in there DNA, bone marrow.
Who funded the January 6 attempted coup, Donnie??
Paging @kenwhite.bsky.social
He's definitely afraid of a general strike situation. He doesn't want to see the biggest crowds in history in the streets calling him out. It tweeks his narcissist brain to even imagine it. There's nothing like the village rising up to make the monster in the castle panic.
I wonder if Soros et al could have a libel case against Trump personally and Truth Social for publishing that...
The proud boys and oath keepers sabotage dem protests. He’s projecting again.
And here is proof that "Jewish" and "Israel" are two separate things. Because Trump hates the Jews but loves Israel.
Because they have no original ideas and want to live in a time where only cis white hetero men are heard.
That was Hitler's line too.
Despite his obvious bigotry, corruption and arrogant ignorance, underneath all that trump is clearly a weirdo. He oozes oddness from every orifice.
How about the puppets who fund MAGA?
Look to the South African tech bro alliance that brought us J.D. Couch Fucker.
I believe you misspelled PATRIOTS!!!! s/
Whoops, my bad!
"The Joos" are controlling "the Blacks" is about a half a step aaway from the "The Joos" are controlling "The Slavs"
Sounds familiar!
I hate Illinois Nazis.
Has someone turned on the Popehat signal? @kenwhite.bsky.social
yup... it's always the same story with the fascists... protests are always "financed" by some dark communist cabal, and of course by foreigners...
