All along it has been clear that the roots of Trump’s support are racist, with a strong anti-Semitic vein. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT ALL TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE RACIST. i know quite a few of them myself. But they are misinformed. It particularly astounds that Christians who believe fervently that America must be a friend to Israel, that “he who touches Israel touches the apple of God’s eye,” do not understand the racist/anti-Semitic underpinnings of the alt-right.
Anyway, below is a representative sample from the article. I must say that I do find the WS’s pages to be clogged with very distracting ads, as are the pages of the Daily Wire, another good conservative website (led by Ben Shapiro, yet another “renegade Jew” who resigned from Breitbart in protest over the Michelle Fields debacle) Here’s the sample:
“But American conservatism is also a conservatism that, while rejecting the intolerance of the present, disdains the bigotry of the past; that, while respecting the public, insists that vox populi is not vox dei; that, while pledging allegiance to the American nation, also does so to principles of liberty and justice for all; that, while cherishing our freedom as Americans, hopes that one day all men will be free.
Is this “liberal” form of conservatism—American conservatism—not fierce or ferocious enough for Buchanan? Is it too hesitant to grab at what it desires, too shy about pursuing only narrow self-interest, for Trump? They apparently think so. They scorn the American conservative tradition. And they scorn the Republican party, which has been the carrier of that tradition in recent times. Buchanan long ago left the GOP. Trump only recently joined it, and having seized its nomination, now attacks many of its most distinguished representatives.”
“A Populist-Nationalist Right? No, Thanks!”
