I see this, and I am reminded of a scene in a video game that was striking then and is completely resonant now. Spoiler alert for Wind Waker.

Not only was the Southern Strategy real, but in 1984, one of its architects, future RNC chair Lee Atwater, explained how the GOP moved from direct racist appeals to abstract ones:
“‘We want to cut this (social program) is...a hell of a lot more abstract than ‘N**ger, n**ger.”

Dear @PragerU:
Candace Owens clearly stated the following:
“If Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, OK, fine. The problem is he wanted, he had dreams outside of Germany."
Those are her own words.
.@tedlieu and every media outlet should be ashamed of themselves for mischaracterizing @RealCandaceO as someone who legitimizes Adolf Hitler.
Candace was legitimizing nationalism, not the atrocities inside and outside Germany.

Today we learned:
Barr still won’t commit to giving Congress the full unredacted Mueller report,
Barr won’t request court approval to give us grand jury material, and
Barr won’t even say if the White House has seen, or been briefed on, the report.
Trump got his Roy Cohn.
Attorney General Barr stopped answering questions the moment he was asked about his interactions with the Trump White House.
His stonewalling and foot-dragging must stop. #ReleaseTheReport

.@Twitter this is white supremacist propaganda that should be banned from this platform. It is part of a range of denialisms, which include denialism about the Holocaust, Slavery and post-Emancipation racism that form the ideological foundation for white supremacist beliefs.
Actually, @samswey - the Southern Strategy was a myth. Watch our video "Why Did the Democratic South Become Republican?" prageru.com/video/why-did-th…

WATCH: Barr indicates here that Trump personally decided that abolishing the ACA and coverage for millions IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN FOLLOWING THE LAW.

Hilarious that @TeamYouTube can say they’re doing something about white nationalism when ACTUAL WHITE NATIONALISTS ARE MAKING MONEY OFF OF THEM TALKING ABOUT IT ON THEIR PLATFORM

Stephen Miller is one of the most prominent and dangerous white nationalists in the world. If he can’t be named as such, the term has no meaning.
Rep. Ilhan Omar called Stephen Miller a "white nationalist." GOP critics accused her of anti-Semitism. wapo.st/2UpUqvW

A good way to remember today's anniversary of Confederate surrender at Appomattox is to read this 1871 speech by Frederick Douglass on how, only 6 years after the Civil War ended, he feared that history was already being rewritten to portray Lee & his army as honorable fighters:

The fact that @realDonaldTrump fired the @SecretService director at the same time the Mar-a-Lago news broke raises more concerns about the @WhiteHouse’s handling of security matters. @DHSgov should expand its investigation to include the circumstances of Alles’ firing.

You won’t see Donald Trump tweeting about this terrorism because it’s the kind he supports.

I will repeat what I’ve been saying: the legitimate congressional request for Trump’s taxes will lead to an illegitimate refusal and that will lead to court action and likely trigger a serious constitutional clash and crisis.
Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said on Fox News that Democrats will "never" get Trump's tax returns. axios.com/mick-mulvaney-trum…

This point is incorrect. There is a very legitimate and important critique of the Party before, during, and after the Obama years, but this is not it.
This from @PeteButtigieg on @MeetThePress is a valid point: “The Democratic Party has only been able to explain its ideological commitments by comparing itself to the Republicans for the better part of my lifetime.”

When you broadcast a white nationalist power hour every weeknight while whining about feminists doing science and other guys who fail to meet your diseased standard for manhood, you should expect brands that like everyone’s money to shun your stupid ass. gq.mn/AxOpv7f

The worst part about this is how the WH isn’t even pretending the IRS will make a decision on its own, free from political interference. A total breakdown in the rule of law.

We are creating a whole generation of children who will remember what we did. They will remember we caged them like animals, ripped them away from their parents & pumped them with drugs to make them stop crying. No amount of apologies will make it better. cnn.com/2019/04/01/us/border…
