    Trump is what they’re pointing out, but I think they’re forgetting all the prior years of complete false information during bush and Obama. This isn’t something just recently popping up, it’s been going on for a while now, Trump just made it a lot louder.

        What’s out there now is the same shit that was out there during the build up of the war. You might just be to young to remember it. There were tons of people driving around basically waving the “blow up brown people” flags and immigrants are taking our jobs types. It’s just more in your face now with the internet being more a daily thing.

        There wasn’t an alt-right because it was just “the right”. The alt-right now was quite literally just the Conservative party back then in 2001
