Trump's Focus on MS-13 Shows What a Skilled Propagandist He Is


MS-13 is a brutal gang out of El Salvador but it is a near zero threat to the average American. It is clever and evil propaganda for Trump to focus so much time on them.

Hayek in Chapter 10, "Why the worst get on top" of  The Road to Serfdom warned of the Trump type:
It is in connection with the deliberate effort of the skillful demagogue to weld together a closely coherent and homogeneous body of supporters that the 3rd and perhaps most important negative element of selection enters. It seems to be almost a lot of human nature that it is easier for people to agree on a negative program--the hatred of an enemy, on the envy of those better off-- than on any positive task. The contrast between the "we"in the "they," the common fight against those outside the group, seems to be an essential ingredient in any creed which will solidly knit together a group for common action. Is consequently always employed by those who seek not merely support of a policy but the unreserved allegiance of huge masses. From their point of view it has the great advantage of leaving them greater freedom of action than almost any positive program. The enemy whether he be internal like a "Jew" or the "ku;ak," or external seems to be an indispensable requisite in the armory of a totalitarian leader.
Trump has chosen non-white immigrants as his enemy and will go to bizarre lengths to make them all appear evil.

    It's very easy. The politician doesn't have to come up with actual and workable policies; he or she only needs to stir up jealousies and envy among the gullible population by putting the blame on a single group for all their problems. Such easy scapegoats are nearly always the least capable of defending themselves.

    1. Wow! You must be a clone of that white Mexican wetback Jorge Ramos. So we can't even deport the criminal ones? Thanks for showing that you are on the side of evil as usual.

      By the way, plenty of Mexican American okay with deporting illegals from the south.

      How quaint. An iteration of the "When are you moving to Somalia?" cliché used by the left.

      Considering you jumped a border to get out of your shithole homeland, it seems fitting.

  3. Apparently, you are unfamiliar with the catch-and-release pattern that has been ongoing with MS-13 - right up to when Trump took office.

    Due to its status of being protected by our lax immigration laws and the sanctuary city "safe zones", MS-13 has and is still being used as a hit squad by the political elite. Very possibly used in the hit on Seth Rich, as you saw two MS-13 were taken out shortly thereafter.

    There are parts of the country where MS-13 is totally out of control. Not your backyard apparently.

  4. Neither RW or Franco will move to a turd world country and see if any of their libertardian nonsense would actually work.

    I see the point in the post, but many Americans have been negatively impacted by criminal illegal immigrants. To deny that is simply stupidity.

    You certainly obfuscate a lot, especially after letting us in your deepest homo-erotic fantasies about white European males.

    ─ many Americans have been negatively impacted by criminal illegal immigrants. ─

    Truly criminal immigrants (whether undocumented or not) should be jailed and/or expelled. Nobody has argued against that. What YOU do (apart from letting us in your homo-erotic fantasies about white European males when nobody asked you to do so) is argue against immigration from anywhere unless the immigrants are your beloved white European males (♫ "It's raining white European males! Allelujah!" ♪)
