"The mainstream view used to be that the party that presided over boomtimes was the party that could expect to be rewarded. But for Trump voters who believe they are the real America, and that the real America has been 'looted, pillaged, raped and plundered,' it’s likely that boomtimes meant something else – evidence they were right."

IT NEVER HAS BEEN ABOUT THE PRICE OF EGGS FOR HIS VOTERS.

"Sad as it is, the fact remains that when Black Americans are doing well for themselves, too many white people in this country start feeling like something is wrong, something is being taken from them, someone somewhere is cheating them, even when they are in fact thriving. It’s white-power’s zero-sum. If America includes 'them,' it excludes 'us.'"

"It’s not that Trump voters were mad at Biden, because he didn’t do enough about inflation. I think they were mad at him, because he did more than any president to expand the economic pie to include all those who are usually left behind, especially Black people."

"It could be that the last election was about money, but not in the way most people think. Fact is, the economy was booming. Inflation was down. Wages were up. Unemployment had rarely been lower. Joe Biden really did grow the economy from the bottom up and the middle out. And in spite of stubbornly high costs, most everyone prospered.

But that may have been the problem."

"They will blame whomever he tells them to, including nations, as he said yesterday, that have 'looted, pillaged, raped and plundered' the country. These foreigners are the reason he implemented tariffs in the first place, using emergency powers usually reserved for wartime.

Indeed, the more Trump supporters suffer, the closer they are likely going to bind themselves to the president."

"Over the last 10 years, Trump has swept them up in a story about the cosmic battle between good and evil, in which the chosen people, free and innocent and pure, have been taken advantage of by 'globalists' who are trying to replace them with foreigners with the intention of 'poisoning the blood' of the country, leading to America’s destruction."

Homan, who describes himself as a "lifelong Catholic" and "devout Mass-goer," has told Pope Francis to mind his business and stick to religion — to butt out of Holman's business with immigrants.

Trump's media guru Karoline Leavitt, who lied boldly about disappearing of immigrants this week, is another lifelong Catholic schooled from grade school through college in Catholic schools. She describes herself as an ardently "pro-life" Catholic.

John Harwood characterizes Tom Homan, Trump's border czar, as the face of Trump’s cruelty, and says,

"Trump's 'border czar' has 'no moral line,' say his critics, and the man himself proudly brags that he doesn't care about judges, the rule of law, or even the Pope."

"So many of the men detained by ICE and sent to El Salvador have no criminal records. ICE agents targeted them simply because they had 'suspicious' tattoos and brown skin. It is an exercise in petty power designed to elevate the worst among us. We are throwing the keys over to the brown shirts."

"Donald and his regime claim people chose to put him in office specifically for them to be as cruel as humanly possible to people with brown skin—especially if they're undocumented workers who have allegedly committed crimes."

"Over the last few months, some erstwhile supporters of Donald have started to notice his blatant disregard for human life, as if this disregard is new. I personally have been aware of this since the 1970s."

#Truth!
On the anniversary of the assassination of #MLKjr, I am contemplating the fact that #Fascists putting targets on the backs of #trans & #Immigrants who protest #Zionist #Genocide has not stopped the #Police from killing innocent #Black folks daily

And that until #USians eradicate #antiblackracism in the US, Fascists will have a lever ro reintroduce their hateful ideology, whatever we do now
