To understand Trump’s support, we must think
in terms of multiracial Whiteness

The Trump administration’s anti-immigration, anti-civil rights stance has made it easy to classify the president’s loyalists as a homogenous mob of white nationalists. But take a look at the FBI’s posters showing people wanted in the insurrectionist assault on the U.S. Capitol: Among the many White faces are a few that are clearly Latino or African American. Such diversity highlights the fact that President Trump’s share of the Latino vote in November actually rose over 2016, notwithstanding years of incendiary rhetoric targeting Mexicans and other Latino communities.

So multi-racial whiteness isn't just what we used to call Uncle Toms or Oreos. If it's Latinaoxhksd. then it's Hispanic/Taco/ChicoMarx/ something.
Apparently you are a racist if you're a race. I have better things to concern myself with and too little time for fools.

They are really pushing this "white nationalist." "anti-civil rights" garbage as fact and are surprised that non-whites were also supporters of Trump and they benefited in by his policies in the ways that really count. Veterans of all colors were treated for medical issues that, in past administrations were ignored. American people benefited, all of us, by his energy, business, and general economic policies.
I am really frightened that these same people who have the power to do what they did. Attempting to sabotage his election, continuing to lie, unrelentingly, about Trump, his family members, and anyone associated with him. Finally, the plotting and organization of those who pulled of this phony election for a senile, joke of a candidate, are very dangerous.
Now the use of the military to blockade DC, and the continued use of the word "insurrection," and the speculation that Trump supporters were planning to kidnap and possibly kill members of Congress. Talk of "de-programming" trump supporters. This talk is terrifying. I hope that there is no plot to use a person, military or not, to harm Biden, (could explain why they bothered to back him rather than someone who was not senile) and blame "white supremacists" and, or the military.
What a cause that would give them. They might impose Martial Law, undertake a mass confiscation of firearms, fuel and set aflame race hatred, all to be justified by the need to avenge a martyred president. Only those who "hate, " (Trump supporters), could possibly oppose them.

You are white if you are not white. You are not white if you are white.
Anti-immigration? Anti-civil rights? What does that mean?
Oh. Open borders. Free pass for blacks. If they are the right kind of black.
Is there a 50 question on-line quiz you must fill out to be white?
Is there a 100 question on-line quiz you must fill out to be black?
Good grief. Just bring back the paper bag.

Their end game is to just pin Orange Stars with a "T" marked on it.

The fact that the author wrote this "notwithstanding years of incendiary rhetoric targeting Mexicans and other Latino communities" shows she doesn't get it.
No, Trump wasn't a fan of illegals.
And despite what bigots on the left think, most Mexican-Americans are not illegals, didn't show up here illegally recently, and don't have a particular ethnic love for lawbreakers who push down wages and bring crime simply because of historical ties. So that's lesson one.
Seriously, the left is so skilled at making up (and then believing) fake strawmen to blame Trump and Republicans that they can't actually analyze issues.

Conservatives are mostly (but by no means, all) White and vote Repub. Most Blacks (but not all) vote for Dems, and my guess is many do so reflexively. I don't know enough about other minority voters. But is seems more ideology (whether understood or not) than racial. However - superficialities like Race is an easy scapegoat; much harder to define and defend your ideology beyond it's own superficiality.

Yep, the incendiary talk against latinos really made the MS-13 gangs angry. But if you look at the bad element measured against the total population across all races, blacks win, no contest.

Just more trash.
Multi racial whiteness... HAH!!
Trump got more support from all minorities than any other Reublican candidate. He didn't lose 2020, either.
It was stolen in one of the most massive operations I've ever seen.

This is Idiocy made Flesh. I suggest that Mr. Beltran stop confusing The Ministry of Truth for a manual on logic.

the fake news media is really getting creative to continue their straw man white supremacism narrative. This is laughable and despicable at the same time.

Multi racial whiteness? Do they mean minorities that think like whites? Maybe they need a different kind of deprogramming. Latest person seen calling for the 'deprogramming' of Trump supporters is Katie Couric.
What a screwed up world we live in that has stuff like this.

Trump supporters are more diverse and inclusive than the left and they don't want you to understand that.

What it looks like after too much LSD has completely fried a person's synapses... These people are now wholly detached from reality and deserving only to be ignored.

#17, George Zimmerman was not the first white Latino. The majority of Hispanics list their race as white on the census. Latino and Hispanic are made-up terms and don't exist in any other country on earth. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is white. Marco Rubio is white. Both are descendants of the Spanish people who settled in this hemisphere. I live in a city in southern California that is 60% white yet 75% Hispanic. Most of my neighbors are white no matter their Spanish surnames.

Shut up, WaPo. You have the most warped, insane mind of any person, and should be placed in an insane asylum.

The progressive fascists claim that anyone who disagrees with them is racist. However, they are the only ones who care about race. Everything they do is motivated by race, just like their buddies the Nazis, and KKK.
