-You- don;t think they do, but ofc it's the ideological support of good folks like yourself that form the PR wing of the racists ideologies. They coopt you. You;re presentable in all the ways that they, until recently, were not. When someone says "hey, you're a fucking bigot, why should I listen to you"...they point to people such as yourself.
When they present their bigoted little schemes and you say to yourself "well, I don't think there's anything wrong with x in principle.....so I support it" - then you coopt yourself.
"Whats wrong with border security rhythm" - Other than being a racist dog whistle, nothing, I guess.
"What's wrong with deporting illegals rhythm" - Other than "illegals" being hate speak for brown people...nothing, I guess. (Fun fact, they detain and harass those here legally -and- citizens on suspicion of being mexican)
See where this is headed?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
