Trump has never said anything about kicking out all foreigners or rounding up all non-White people. Those are liberal fabrications. But instead of acknowledging them as such, the left seems to be doubling down on them, gladly praising anyone who continues to spout that nonsense.

Obama never said he was going to take your guns away, outlaw Christianity, or replace the Constitution with shariah law. But you were smart enough to know what he _really_ meant: that he was gonna do all that plus institute mandatory gay porn viewing in elementary schools.

Meryl Streep never mentioned the president-elect by name, but you figured out what she was _really_ saying: “The new administration will create a whites-only society unless you rise up and kill them _now!!!_”

So if you can “read between the lines”, why can’t we?

If I say the president-elect’s goal is to create a whites-only society, how can you fault me for “reading between the lines” of everything he’s said for the last… what, six years?

As a side note, speaking of his racism, here’s something I’m surprised doesn’t get brought up more often: to _this very day_, Donald Trump wants the state to kill [five black men](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/10/08/donald-trumps-doubling-down-on-the-central-park-five-reflects-a-bigger-problem/?utm_term=.77164850d713) who it’s been pretty conclusively established _didn’t do anything_. What do his supporters suggest is the reason he still wants these men dead? I can only think of one reason: to intimidate “the blacks” into submission. To say “You’d better watch yourself, because we can kill you for any reason, or for no reason at all.” (Note that this is not a direct quote, I’m “paraphrasing”).
