    Not that I really disagree, but it should be pointed out - Trump has never had an ideology, never. Unless scamming money is an ideology. He’s only racist in the sense that he believes people are beneath him and some “categories” more than others, he doesn’t actually give a shit about anything we’d call a belief system or vision for the world or anything.

    This stuff seems to me like ragebait, but IRL; explicitly intended to cause stories of “riots” that will give them the thinnest of justifications to start violent crackdowns.

    America is in an extremely sketchy place right now. If violence begins in earnest, it’s hard to imagine lefties coming out on top. And even if so, the suffering involved will be extreme.

      Trump’s ideology is Trump. He is terribly insecure and requires constant affirmation of his strength and virility. Hence, a bully. But now a bully with an army.
