What would you do if someone came to your home and began attacking you?

If you listen to the mainstream media, Democrat presidential candidates and some never-trumpers, you hear the same refrain – Trump is a racist! The basis for this is the way he talks. The thought and speech police are always at attention and on edge for some structural discrimination which they believe is always about to happen (which is a self fulfilling prophecy). Trump is perfect for them.

If Trump is attacked by a person of color and he hits back at that person of color for what they said, he is a racist. If he is attacked by a woman and he responds to that woman for what she says, he is a misogynist. If he uses a politically incorrect trigger word or phrase, he is labeled for it’s use. The latest is the dispute last week (and continuing) between he and the Democrat ‘Squad’ of new Congresswomen.

Trump used the phrase “go back” which got morphed into ‘send them back’ which got morphed into the chant at is NC rally, “send her back”. Now, ignoring context, you can make these statements into anything you want. And, the Democrats and the media are busy doing just that 24/7 – it’s white nationalist, it’s white supremacy, it’s racism. Trump’s base of support are these racists. If that is actually the case, he would never have won the Presidency in 2016. Why? Because there are only 12 of them.

As a result of this controversy, the Democrats and the media are trying to decide whether to make the 2020 election all about race. They fear alienating some people, but believe doubling down on Trump and his supporters as racists, may be the best way to win.

What the Democrats and the media continue to ignore is what they say about Trump, his supporters and/or the country is a problem for many. That seems to be okay to them. Nothing is off limits. No one gets called on the carpet.

Friday this was published about AOC:

If you look at the context of Trump’s original tweets, agreed, they could be said better, but the fact is, they are not about race, they are about rejecting the language that tears down our country. His supporters at the rally also chanted ‘traitor’ and ‘treason’, neither a racist trigger word, along with ‘send her back’. Evidence then that the intent was not racism, but in defense of the country?

The media and the Democrats don’t care. They ignore this question completely and focus only on identity politics and politically correct speech. If a Democrat attacks a Republican, that’s politically correct. If anyone attacks Trump, that’s politically correct. If a progressive attacks the country as racist, unfair, discriminatory and in need of radical change, well that is justifiable and politically correct.

Trump’s supporters don’t think so. They don’t identify the intent as racist. They identify the intent as an unjust attack on our country that we have a duty to defend. They are tired of the Kaepernicks, Rapinos & Squad attacks. They are tired of those attacks being justified by the media. If you don’t like it here, go somewhere else. That’s just reality. If someone came to your home and began attacking you, your family, your house, your food, your clothes etc, how whould you respond? Okay, sorry. Of course, not. You would say I would like you to leave. The concept is no more complex or different than that.

The Washington Post this weekend went after Trump, Pence and Stephen Miller for trying to explain that point and instead converting it into racism. They used a new CBS poll to support their hypothesis in which they say people reject Trump’s racism. Of course, it all starts with the media defining ‘trump as being a racist’, now doesn’t it. The media setting the tone of the discussion.

Well, if you look at that poll, one, they stretch their analysis to include a 41-41 tie on one question to say Trump’s racism is rejected. Two, they selectively pull responses to paint a incomplete picture. For example, something they ignored.

Of these people, Donald Trump, Nancy Pelosi, Kevin McCarthy. Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, AOC, Rashida Talib, Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley, who in this poll has the highest approval rating? Trump, 36%. Pelosi & AOC are tied for 2nd with 23%. Humm…

Almost 50% of the respondents said too much attention has been given to the tweets.

Only 17% said President Trump’s tweets, respondent’s said, were trying to call attention to racial and religious differences with the Democratic Congresswomen.

You can make any statement, out of context, whatever you want. You can make any answer to a question in a poll out to be anything you want.

The Democrats & the media are doing just that.
