As if you needed more reason to fear the Trumps and their plans for the United States (led by whomever it might be that holds power over them), we have a deeply concerning finding made by Salon in one of the Trump fundraising emails. It involves race because MAGA membership and allegiance is, and always was, about race first.

In an email for the Trump PAC, Don Jr. wrote about American teachers who teach Critical Race Theory, a “theory,” that is now meaningless. It is one thing to the people that understand it and know its roots and intentions, and then there is the definition used by the Right; just another means of teaching kids to hate America.

Thus it is that the American teachers’ unions are no different than the Taliban, according to Junior, from a fundraising email. From Salon and Rawstory:

There are people out there in the far-off corners of the world who hate everything that the United States of America stands for — and they have made it their life’s work to destroy our country. But they’re not who I’m worried about. I’m worried about the people right here in our own backyards who share the same hatred for our country as the terrorists hiding in the caves of Afghanistan.

Worrying about teaching America’s racist past is not akin to “hating” one’s country. Some consider it an act of love, a purification. Not Don. Jr., who saw a fundraising opportunity for dad. Junior then made the most ironic point in the entire email, this coming from the people that attempted a coup:

Because when President Lincoln said “America will never be destroyed from the outside … if we lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves” he was RIGHT. The most dangerous threats to our republic aren’t hiding in caves — they’re hiding in plain sight in our K-12 classrooms.

They’re training the next generation to hate our country, hate our freedom and hate our Constitution. Because they know the generation taught to hate our country from kindergarten to college will be the one that destroys it, and surrenders us to socialism once and for all.

Socialism is not prohibited by the Constitution, not at all, at least not true socialism as it is defined as a political system. If socialism was unconstitutional, the federal government wouldn’t have been bailing out airlines, hotels, and restaurants, after the COVID crisis, or the banks in 2009. But socialism is an ooky-spooky word, one that Don Jr. uses to gin up further hatred of our teachers.

We at this site have long talked about stochastic terrorism? The call for the lone wolves out there to get off their asses and do something? This isn’t that, according to Salon:

Donald Trump Jr.’s fundraising email for the 1776 Project PAC is not a version of stochastic terrorism. It is something worse and more dangerous. That email is an explicit encouragement to engage in acts of right-wing terrorism and other violence against “the enemy.” The encouragement is working: Public opinion polls and other research have shown that a large percentage of Republicans and other self-identified Trump supporters and “conservatives” increasingly view political violence as an acceptable means of winning, holding and expanding political power.

Increasingly view political violence as acceptable to winning and expanding political power? The principle sounds so familiar. Where would one find a place that holds elections, but the elections are meaningless because political violence has made the outcome obvious. Vladimir might want to help us on this because it has been Russian policy since the 1960s to destroy the United States from within.

Terrifying. They are raising money off this and they wouldn’t make the effort if it didn’t work.
