[Peace-discuss] Identity politics rides again

[C G Estabrook]

 'Trump just doesn't get it. It's OK to bomb these countries, run death squads, subvert their govts, wreck their economies. But you don't call them 'shit holes' because that's racist.' [David Traynier]

And the political establishment wants you to concentrate on Trump's racism rather than his continuation of Obama's policy of bombing these countries, running death squads, subverting their governments, and wrecking their economies - because of course that's their policy. (And they're afraid he might not carry it out.)
