It was "White Power" terrorism.. Not a "White Nationalist" protest [View all]

Trump is leading (not merely supporting) a White Power movement by staffing White Power leaders *inside* the White House and within his entire administration.

The GOP has been advancing the goals of this White Power movement slowly for decades, more rapidly for the last 15 years, and explosively since Trump won the GOP primary last year. Their shift from near party-wide opposition of Trump during the primary to near party-wide support during the general election locked them into this freight-train of horror.

We need to make sure that the nation understands that a white-power movement has hold of the White House and thus it's "political arm", the Republican National Committee.

We need to speak with honesty and clarity. It's radical "white power" terrorism. Stop using "White Nationalist". That is the marketing agency speak that mainstreams their views.
