“On Sunday, President Donald Trump thanked some of his supporters in Florida by retweeting a video of people driving golf carts confronting anti-Trump protesters. Early in the video one of the supposed Trump supporters on a golf cars shouts ‘white power’ with his fist raised at protesters.”

“This is nothing new for Trump. In fact, the very first time Trump appeared in the pages of the New York Times, back in the 1970s, was when the US Department of Justice sued him for racial discrimination. Since then, he has repeatedly appeared in newspaper pages across the world as he inspired more similar controversies.”

“He’s using the language/symbols of White Supremacists”
—Someone
If you can stomach
reading the literature of White Supremacist groups, you absolutely should because it really gives you insight to what they are doing and how they are so effective.
White Supremacists know that White middle America is not here for their overt racism, preferring more the institutional racism that keeps their hands clean.
So in order to connect and work together, they code their messaging behind symbols, language, numerical values, etc (the ADL has a great database of these things).
They also know, no matter how they code their messaging, Leftists will always recognize them. They talk about this in great length in their literature. They focus a lot on how Liberals are dupes and Leftists are the real threat to their cause. So they have to use strategies that not only advance their cause, but also discredit and depower Leftists.
In order to discredit Leftists and continue their operations, one of the most common methods they deploy are gaslighting techniques (most famously the OK hand gesture). This is extremely effective because we’ll point to something as an example of proof of their White Supremacy but they deploy it in a way that leaves them free of culpability and the Left looking like crazy conspiracy theorist just reading into shit.
They love it, they know it works. They talk about it constantly.
Trump and his admin could have tweeted any clip. Hell, they could have edited the existing clip.
This was done intentionally, but it was done in a way where he can say “I didn’t say it, we’re so against racism, we don’t even notice it, you guys are just looking for ways to confirm your narrative about me being racist. You’re the real problem here, reading into everything and listening to the lying media.”
It works too, time and again. Here are some examples:
• Retweeting from a White Genocide Twitter account
. . . (not his tweet)
• “Save your heritage” common recruitment language of NeoNazis
. . . (I meant American heritage)
• Calling immigration “an invasion” language specifically from The Order’s White Genocide Manifesto
. . . (you’re reading into it)
• Good people on both sides
. . . (I said both sides)
• “When the looting starts, the shooting starts”
. . . (didn’t know)
• Discussed the “great replacement theory” with Tucker Carlson
. . . (just fighting illegal immigration)
• “Letting people in from Europe” more White Genocide language
. . . (European immigration is down)
• Tweeted picture of Hillary Clinton with piles of cash & Star of David a nod to Zionist Government Occupation theory
. . . (we all know Hillary’s corrupt!)
• Robocalls from Jared Taylor demanding white immigrants
. . . (it was him not me, I disavow)
• David Duke endorsement
. . . (can’t control what he does, I disavow)
Trump himself may not have a direct affiliation with a specific WS group, but the point is we’re supposed to think this is all coincidence, that’s the tactic. Absolutely one uses this many references to the “White Genocide” conspiracy without having at least entertained the idea in their minds. There are also more overt White Supremacists in his cabinet – Stephen Miller is the best example.
And no matter how you look at it, Trump is deploying this tactic and advancing the White Supremacist cause. Whether as a true believer (I think he is) or just capitalizing on the cause, people need to be way more aware of what White Supremacist groups are doing because whether or not we acknowledge it, they believe they are in a race war against us and sadly, have made significant advances after 9/ıı shifted the focus of federal law enforcement agencies.
So ultimately
when someone says “he’s using the language/symbols of White Supremacists” believe them because White Supremacist groups specifically count on you not believing them in order to progress their cause.
