Trump's white nationalism: A menace that needs to be effectively resisted

Will Bunch uses the (political) f-word in I can’t stop thinking about the little girl behind Trump and the hate she’s being taught Philly.com 07/21/2019:

And so the bigger point raised by Wednesday’s American hatefest is the question of what are we going to do about American fascism? The signs right now are not good. The leaders of the Democrats in Congress — the ones with the most leverage to actually do something — are not only running out the clock on impeaching this unfit president but putting a lot of their eggs, at least this week, in one basket: Wednesday’s long-delayed testimony from special counsel Robert Mueller.

But the Mueller gambit could backfire, and in fact it probably will. ...

America’s weak body politic is absorbing Trump-Russia and other presidential wrongdoing that same way that it once absorbed the Access Hollywood tape, when Trump’s own words about sexual assault didn’t derail his election. The ability of Team Trump to steamroll congressional subpoenas and basic requests for information are making the Democrats look weak, because arguably they are. It hardly helps that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi seems stuck in the 1990s, seemingly unable to grasp the severe threat to American democracy on inglorious display in North Carolina last week. [my emphasis]

n other words, normalization of Trump continues even as his white nationalist focus intensifies.
