Hamada Trump is very comfortable creating a culture war in America.
http://city-made.com/?m=201203 Telling black NFL players to leave the country. Calling undocumented immigrants “animals.” Banning Muslims from the US. Attacking Chicago for gun violence.
He knows that fear + division feeds his base of white voters.

#HateCrimes against #Muslims and #Latinxs occurred shortly after Trump tweeted disparagingly about Muslims and Latinxs.
And they were physically concentrated where Twitter usage is highest.
That's what a new @warwickuni study found. https://t.co/s2vGMbq0tF

Stalin, Mao, Hitler and Pol Pot all called their opponents "parasites" or "vermin" or "animals." Dehumanization is what you do to unwanted social groups before killing them https://t.co/5nMMSZzeP9

Lost in all this debate over whether Trump called ALL immigrants “animals” or JUST those with criminal records or alleged to be gangmembers is this: **It doesn’t matter.** Either way he has successfully normalized the dehumanization of people with criminal justice involvement. https://t.co/q49nG1YMAk

When has Trump called bigots, that attack Muslims, Mexicans or other visible minorities “animals”? Never.
It’s an explicit racist slur.

"Pronouncing whole categories of people as subhuman numbs a nation’s moral sense and, in extreme but, unfortunately, too many cases, becomes a rationale for collective cruelty." https://t.co/pLmYrmBFln

Make no mistake – #ClaudiaGómez is a victim of the racist language coming from the @WhiteHouse

Racism: White people oppose programs such as food stamps, Medicaid and subsidized housing because they believe welfare programs benefit people of color, according to a new study from @UCBerkeley & @Stanford. https://t.co/UIxlUT1Hxo

The federal law doesn't require state, city, regional folks to require hate crime numbers, explains @ACInvestigates; 88% of jurisdictions in the US sent zero or didn't participate at all, @proflevin adds. #DocumentingHate
