By Ishmael Reed. From [HERE] As a columnist for The New York Times, Timothy Egan’s voice is influential. Here’s his explanation for the reasons that President Donald Trump’s followers are so enraged that they invaded Congress and threatened to lynch Trump’s enemies, as well as those who wouldn’t do his bidding. 

He says: "I understand the tribalism, the urge to push back against condescending libs and the suffocating ubiquity of political correctness, the sense that only Trump can save a certain way of life." 

No serious study says that these haters voted for Trump because of the reasons Egan gives. As for "suffocating political correctness," it’s actually his kind of apologetics, not least in the overwhelmingly white media, that is really "ubiquitous." 

His colleague at The Times is David Brooks. He and his Times’ colleague Sam Roberts are concerned about "white fertility rates." Appearing on Katy Tur’s MSNBC show, Brooks expressed some sympathy for the mob that, a month later, nearly succeeded in overthrowing the government, and with the complicity of law enforcement, who were among the riot members.

That should make you wonder which side would the armed forces take were there a second Civil War, the fantasy held by the white nationalists? 

This is how he explained the mob’s grievances. They’ve been left behind "economically, culturally, and socially."   

The NYT’s Thomas Friedman takes the same excuse-making line for fascist thugs, describing those in Trump’s camp "who are there precisely because they feel ignored, humiliated, and left behind."

Left behind "economically"? They’re able to afford roundtrip tickets from places like Alaska, pay for ground transportation, meals and book hotels at places like the Marriott Courtyard. If the mob were to return for the Inaugural, the Marriott prices range from $389-$800 per night.

Maybe that’s because the mob included thousands of white male professionals, among them CEOs, lawyers, firemen, state legislators, police officers, and even one Olympic swimming champion.   

Left behind "culturally"? Knowing Brooks, he’s probably talking about Hip Hop.

"Socially?" The Trump mob is gregarious. They gather by the thousands in maskless superspreading circus-like events.

Katy Tur appeared to agree with Brooks. Even though she had to be protected by the Secret Service after being targeted by Donald Trump’s scorn, this is how she tried to explain the Trump Nation to Rachel Maddow back in September 2017 (bold text is my emphasis).

MADDOW: How do you salvage civil discourse? How do you salvage the norms of political discourse in that context?

TUR: There's an argument to say we went way too far with political correctness, that people couldn't tell a joke, patriotism was mistaken for racism. And that's a lot of who supported Donald Trump. They just felt like they were being boxed in and they couldn`t be themselves anymore, any version of themselves.

We really did correct a lot and people did feel it and they were angry about it. And they felt like Donald Trump was helping them release all of that frustration.

Perhaps this was supposed to be a dispassionate analysis. But when Tur says, "There's an argument to say we went way too far with political correctness," the "we" includes her, Maddow, and other members of the liberal elite. It comes off as an apology - or appeasement.

There is a straight line between the unwillingness of mainstream journalists in the early years of the Trump era to push back, and firmly, against the false narrative that "economic anxiety" and "out-of-control political correctness" fueled the Trump vote, rather than the more banal way of saying those things: racism, and a thirst for a Leader who would restore white Christian "order." [MORE]

According to "FUNKTIONARY, THE KEY HOLDERS ENPSYCHLOPEDIA:" 

Weitko Disease - the caucasian’s patapathetic fascination with the exploitation and control of nature and exploitation and genocide of his fellow man.

Neuropeans - (Neurotic Europeans) - neurotic, ignorant, narcissistic and self-deluded white supremacist Caucasians operating at the mythic and rational levels of consciousness only. 2) Fascists. (See Weitko Disease, White Supremacy and Yurungu.)

Neuropeons - neurotic, stupid and self deluded poor white trash. 2) skin heads 3) Nazis, neo-Nazis and Theo-nazis (See KKK, WOTAN, Weitko Disease, Fasxism, Racism White Supremacy, Stupidity, Ku Klux Klan & Yurungu).  

Dependent Media - Establishment (dependent) media is both unwilling and incapable of reporting events truthfully, accurately or without extreme bias. News coverage is just that - covering up (masking) and distorting the events and those wielding power behind the events (those reported and deliberately unreported). News coverage has simply become “disinfotaiment” with the sole purpose of perception and knowledge containment as well as reality concealment. You report in the interests of those who are paying you to do so. (see MEDIA, NBC & NEWS).

Racism White Supremacy - psychopathic degeneracy. 2) "The local and global power system and dynamic, structured and maintained by persons who classify themselves as white, whether consciously or subconsciously determined, which consists of patterns of perception, logic, symbol formation, thought, speech, action and emotional response, as conducted simultaneously in all areas of people activity (economics, education, entertainment, labour, law, politics, religion, sex and war); for the ultimate purpose of white genetic survival and to prevent white genetic annihilation on planet earth—a planet upon which the vast majority of people are classified as non-white (Black, Brown, Red and Yellow) by white skinned people, and all of the nonwhite people are genetically dominant (in terms of skin coloration) compared to the genetic recessive white skin people." -Dr. Francis Cress Welsing, MD. Hate and oppression can never reign. Only love is supreme.

Racism - White Degeneracy wrongly cast as Supremacy. Racism—a psycho-socio-economic reality based on a pseudo-scientific biological myth—is a power group dynamic, i.e., a defined group cooperatively via legacy institutions exerting structured and enforced institutionalized and systemic injustice, oppression and power over another group. Racism is not individualistic, but institutional, cultural, economic, political, linguistic, self-perpetuating and systematic. Racism is economic discrimination by one group over and against another for the purposes of subjugation and/or maintaining the imbalance of power through cooperative control, misinformation, indoctrination, genocide and oppression. Racism is the socioeconomic and cultural bequest of colonialism, neo-colonialism and the vestiges of the transatlantic trafficking of enslaved Afrikans and their descendants. Racism has its bio-physiological origins in the immune response of primitive life-forms to foreign matter and has its geo-psychological roots in the response of primitive humans encountering more intelligent ones based on the meme of scarcity and the fear of genetic annihilation through genetic assimilation. "Racism destroys men—and women—as much by what it denies them as by what it metes out to them." -Isaiah Thomas. "It is pathological for Blacks to keep attempting moral suasion on a people who have no ethics or morality where race is a variable." -Bobby Wright. [MORE]
