I said this on air:

There are many intentions behind declaring race training “anti-American.”

One of them is to cast those of us who speak, write, work, and most importantly, protest on race issues as “unamerican” ourselves.

It’s 2020 McCarthyism.

“Red Scares” created hysteria about communists just like Trump is doing w protests.

Protestors don’t have to be Black, or even part of BLM or an affiliated org, because accuracy isn’t their point.

It’s textbook propaganda. It’s not even a secret. Look. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/mccarthyism-inspired-cartoons/
All of this, from calling activists terrorists to casting critical race theory as “unAmerican” is engineered to help them keep power and justify rooting out anyone who dares to work on “race.”

Ending federal race trainings is not just racist, it is intentional.
They want to be sure they have fabricated the evidence that would justify the repression, silencing and arresting of dissenters.

They do not care that the evidence is not on their side-and it absolutely is not. https://twitter.com/robertpjones/status/1301859268459737089
It’s not like recycling these propaganda practices is foreign to them.

Lather, rinse, repeat & hide the fact that a bunch of boogaloo boys and supremacists and police are causing much of this destruction *in order to* paint Black protestors as violent. https://theintercept.com/2020/07/15/george-floyd-protests-police-far-right-antifa/
They want to turn this election into a culture war while upending anything remotely electoral about it.

“Win” said “war,” and suppress, erase or invalidate any vote tally that says otherwise.

Yes-people are falling for it. And many who aren’t will have their votes suppressed.
We have to fight with everything we got. To Election Day. Thru Election Day. Every day.
In which I keep adding growing examples of the Trump administration isolating people who write, speak, think, lead and protest on race as “unamerican” in more 2020 McCarthyism....

More McCarthyism & fascism and just for us!

Why is there always something to add to this thread you ask? Because y’all elected a wannabe dictator.
