The GOP-Trump Strategy: Blue Collar Whites Yes, Latinos No!

The hysterical agitation and intolerance uttered by Republican Trump to his so-called ‘silent white majority’ is urging them to action and this combined with his demand that 11 million immigrants be deported is part of his racial message and solution to “make America great again”.

Donald Trump’s popularity among Republican voters has dramatically risen in the polls as he now has a double digit lead over runner-up Jeb Bush. His fear mongering political message has found a very receptive base within our society among xenophobic and angry conservative sectors. His campaign promises to make America great again by deporting over eleven million hard-working immigrants, miraculously organizing the country to work right and winning decisive victories in the numerous wars that the US is involved in have found a receptive target audience. Trump’s national chauvinist message is not a new one as it was once used by various fascist groups in Europe during the 1930’s to gloss over mass
