That's a really silly post.
Racism was always an issue in the US, and will likely always be (pretty much in the world, not just in the US). Trump didn't invent racism, the same way Obama didn't stop it. Racism and hate were always present, except now we're dealing with a president who more or less advocated them, and his supporters feel entitled to come out of the woodwork. That's the point.
Who advocates racism? The country's biggest asset and trading tool is dealing military weapons. It seems that in 8 years in office nothing has been done to better ordinary people's lives, to address domestic issues, crime, unemployment. The democrats shot themselves in the foot by choosing and backing a candidate that is so far removed from ordinary American people who really don't care about all those Middle Eastern countries and all those arms deals. Anybody slightly decent could have won this election against Trump, but not her. The media, the establishment all was stacked against Trump and for Clinton and still it didn't help her. I bet she was loving her chances at presidency against Trump, but it backfired against her and the whole democratic establishment. They are the ones starting problems among Trump supporters, they are the ones feeding into racism frenzy, DNC sabotaged their own candidate in support of corrupt war-monger.
Nicely said by 77-year old reporter John Pilger:
“They corrupted a voting system, within the Democratic Party that ensured that another populist, Bernie Sanders – though I don’t think he would have beaten Trump – could not win, and instead the embodiment of the status quo, who has declared the whole world a battlefield was made out to be the ‘candidate of sanity’ or ‘the candidate for women.’â€
Pilger criticized Clinton’s entourage, noting that she was backed not only by Wall Street heavyweights, but nearly all of the major arms manufacturers in the US, creating an unappealing image for a woman those at home and abroad already saw as a
“warmonger.â€
“Most of the world regards that kind of behavior from the most powerful country in the world as abhorrent, and she has been the personification of that,†said Pilger.
Pilger, who has won multiple international prizes for his documentary-making and activism, also said that US media, in which all but one national newspaper backed Clinton, acted as
“anti-journalists,†looking to catch out and
“demonize†Trump, without even attempting to weigh up his message.
“One of the most revealing things about the campaign has been the exposure of journalism as the extension of the same established power. They are not independent, they are echo chambers… And the most respected are the worst. The New York Times has become a sort of Cold War propaganda sheet,†said Pilger, who also criticized the tactic of blaming Russia and Julian Assange’s Wikileaks, for exposing genuine email communications related to Clinton.
Despite praising the President Elect for
“articulating the frustrations of ordinary Americans very well,†Pilger remains cautious about the next four years.
“Whether Trump will be any better is unclear. He says he is anti-establishment, but he will come with his own establishment. I don’t believe for a moment that he is against the establishment of the US in a wider sense – indeed he is a product of it,†said Pilger.
“The truth is, there was no one to vote for.â€
