White supremacism is ready to roar - By Eugene Robinson
White supremacism was never banished from American political thought, just shoved to the fringe and hushed to a whisper. Now, in the Age of Trump, its back in the mainstream and ready to roar.
Witness the words of Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) on the subject of immigration: Culture and demographics are our destiny. We cant restore our civilization with somebody elses babies. King offered these sentiments Sunday in a tweet expressing solidarity with Geert Wilders, an openly racist and Islamophobic Dutch politician who has a chance of becoming prime minister in elections this week. Wilders is someone who understands, King wrote.
And we understand just what King meant. Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke certainly got the message, using his vile Twitter account to proclaim, GOD BLESS STEVE KING!!!
Just so theres no confusion, King went on CNN Monday to say that I meant exactly what I said. He added: Ive been to Europe and Ive spoken on this issue and Ive said the same thing as far as 10 years ago to the German people and any population of people that is a declining population that isnt willing to have enough babies to reproduce themselves. Ive said to them, You cant rebuild your civilization with somebody elses babies. Youve got to keep your birthrate up and you need to teach your children your values.
