that you might have overdone it a bit.

What I will say is this: Murdoch was a white supremacist. He and others laid the groundwork for the Trump presidency, particularly after Obama was elected. The right wing, led by Fox, hammered on Obama day and night.

You all know the slurs Barack and Michelle had to endure day after day so I won't reiterate them. They are sickening. Basically we had a whole network with millions of viewers denigrating Obama so completely that if you talk to a right winger about anything good Obama did, the propaganda onslaught was so pervasive you'll get nothing but a blank stare.

Then, remember when the media covered Donald Trump's rallies from beginning to end, day after day? That wasn't just Fox.

And look at the asshole Roger Ailes. Telling female talking heads at Fox that if they wanted to play with the big boys, they needed to lay with the big boys.

This whole right wing thing is a hate-fest. They hate everything. And they have played to the sense of victimhood of poor white people.

Yes, there were some economic conditions that they spoke to that our party will need to address (trade agreements unfair to American workers, the disconnect between workforce and economic development), but everything Trump has done, and I mean EVERYTHING, is straight out of Storm Front's playbook. And Fox, Breitbart, Storm Front and AM hate-talk radio helped make this happen.

But, Danie, if there is another Holocaust - one against brown-skinned people, Muslims and Jewish people this time - it will be the Trump administration and the Trumpist party (formerly the Republican party) that perpetrates it. We already have the concentration camps in place, with their filthy cages crammed full of lost, frightened children ripped from the arms of their mothers.

Murdoch was a total asshole, but if someone is going to be as bad as Stalin or Hitler, look to Trump and Stephen Miller, who went to school with Richard Spencer by the way, and organized white supremacist events at their college.
