Extreme Leftists Shift from Hitler Discourse for a While, Resume Race-Related Frenzy instead
You know, the current buzz about Donald Trump since his second term in office has been hotter than ever. From fascism and autocracy to nationalism, they've been tossing around labels left and right.
But here's something surprising - the media seems to have moved away from the old 'Trump is a racist' rhetoric this time around. That is, until recently.
Comparing Trump to a dictator isn't scoring any points these days. As per CNN, a whopping 3% of Trump voters still regret their decision. If we were to hold a 2024 election today, Trump would still dominate resoundingly.
With the old tactics not working as well as before, the media has come up with a new strategy. Enter racial hysteria.
On some recent shows, commentators have been spreading fear about Trump planning to deport black people. Symone Sanders Townsend, the soon-to-be MSNBC primetime host, while discussing a deportation case, warned that "black people are 'next in line'." Maryland Democrat Rep. Glenn Ivey agreed, stating that this is one of the reasons the African-American community backs the issue.
However, as long as Sanders-Townsend and Rep. Ivey are here legally, they'll be just fine.
Remember Joy Reid, the former MSNBC host? Well, she lost her job earlier this year for similar propagandistic narratives. MSNBC has replaced Reid with Sanders-Townsend and co-hosts Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele. Frankly, we're not sure the new trio is an improvement.
Speaking of Reid, our website readers overwhelmingly voted Sunny Hostin as the likeliest candidate to replace Reid as the "worst person in all of television" after her firing. Like Sanders, Hostin also pivoted from Nazi to race talk this week.
On Wednesday, Hostin tried to stir up outrage among new mothers over Trump's plan to offer them financial assistance. She suggested the plan was race-motivated due to the increase in U.S. births among Hispanic and Asian mothers, while seemingly disregarding the same trend among white mothers.
According to the ladies on "The View", Trump's attempt to increase the U.S. birth rate is not a crisis - it's, wait for it, racist.
It's essential to note that Trump's "baby bonus" would not come with any racial requirements, rewarding mothers of all skin colors.
Five years ago, frightening Americans on racial grounds might have worked. Not anymore. The media's influence is now a fraction of what it was during prior administrations. Few honest Americans still take seriously what speakers like Hostin, Behar, or Sanders-Townsend spout on television.
Baseless name-calling and hysteria aren't likely to turn Americans against Trump. Only an abrupt resurgence of the Democrat Party could do that. And even MSNBC and "The View" understand how unlikely that is to happen.
So, back to the Hitler talk next week? Or will they come up with something new? Only time will tell.
Insights: Recent institutional actions targeting diversity initiatives and historical narratives have been a contentious point of criticism against Donald Trump. These actions, such as threatening funding for schools with DEI programs, eliminating federal DEI programs, and baselessly linking an aviation incident to DEI practices, are seen by critics as efforts to enforce a color-blind ideology that dismisses systemic racism discussions.
- The media, in an attempt to criticize Donald Trump, has recently shifted focus from labeling him as racist to fostering racial hysteria, such as spreading fear about Trump planning to deport black people.
- Symone Sanders Townsend, the soon-to-be MSNBC primetime host, has been spreading such fear, warning that "black people are 'next in line'."
- Interestingly, while the media is emphasizing racial hysteria, there are no racial requirements for Trump's proposed "baby bonus" that would offer financial assistance to new mothers, regardless of their race.
- It seems that baseless name-calling and hysteria, like what from Joy Reid, Sunny Hostin, or Sanders-Townsend, may not be successful in turning Americans against Trump, and an abrupt resurgence of the Democrat Party could be the only likely factor to do so.
