Im A Jewish Queer Woman And I Already See The Impact Of Bannons Hate

[sheshe2]

On Sunday, President-elect Donald Trump named Breitbart News Network executive chairman Steve Bannon as his chief strategist and senior counselor. Bannon, who served as CEO of the Trump campaign, oversaw the publication of anti-semitic, racist, sexist, homophobic and Islamophobic content in his role as chairman of Breitbart, has been accused of domestic abuse and made overtly anti-semitic remarks himself, according to a court document from his 2007 divorce.

I’m a queer Jewish woman who’s spent the past year covering the race, and spent election night at Trump’s victory party. I’ve been given the finger at Trump events, navigated rallies where protesters and supporters all but physically fought each other and made a concerted effort to be fair as I’ve interviewed those who take no issue with his comments about grabbing women, his racist business practices or promises to walk back LGBTQ rights. Yet, it wasn’t until I saw the president-elect standing on stage with Bannon that I understood the magnitude of the platform given to anti-semitism.

A white nationalist who allegedly said he didn’t want his daughters “going to school with Jews” is headed to the White House. Many Jewish journalists have already been experiencing the groundswell of anti-semitism throughout the campaign. Now with swastikas appearing around the country and the KKK celebrating Trump’s win, we are coming to grips with the notion that the very hate many of our families escaped in Eastern Europe has come home to roost on American soil and worse, in the White House.

Over the course of the past year covering the election, I’ve experienced a trickle of anti-semitic hate on Twitter that — I hope — peaked last week with a gif of Ralph Fiennes as a Nazi officer in the film “Schindler’s List” pointing a gun in my direction.

7. we are now in a self-reinforcing feedback loop of hate, racism, resentment, misogyny

homophobia, xenophobia, etc. Long standing social taboos are being uncapped, and the inner demons of all things hateful of the "other" are be thrust upon the land at both macro and micro levels. The more it happens, the more new people (new as in newly uncapped to inner acceptance of that dark side they fought to suppress) will feel empower to do the same as the thugs around them. It is like murder, the first one is the hardest, but once you star killing (or in this case going open white power) the easier it gets. That in terns further removes internal psychological restraints.

Feeding this all will be a constant stream of alt-right, slick, wickedly effective nationalistic, tribalist, racialist propaganda. Bannon isn't in there for his good looks (gag). Kobach wants to start the registry of Muslims from day one. If that is allowed, they will truly feel emboldened to take the next step. And god help the country if Trump's massive infrastructure programme actually produces a boom economy (illusional and transient though the boom may be, your average American doesn't have the wherewithal to know the difference). He will be riding massive approval rating and can double down and quicken the pace of the racialist agenda.

Fuck Godwin's law. What we are seeing is the 2017 version of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei playbook taking shape. Its 1933 all over again. Ignore this warning at you own peril.

This is Richard Spencer, he is NOT your friend.
