Invoking “Holocaust,” Jew Argues Liberals Must Confront Trump & SupportersMarch 14, 2016 (http://therealistreport.com/invoking-holocaust-jew-argues-liberals-must-confront-trump-supporters/) Realist Report (http://therealistreport.com/author/realist/) 30 comments (http://therealistreport.com/invoking-holocaust-jew-argues-liberals-must-confront-trump-supporters/#comments)

The organized Jewish community and the liberal, leftist establishment have been attacking and denouncing Donald Trump for months now. As of late, their overwrought, childish attempts to demonize and discredit Trump and his millions of supporters have become more and more obvious and truly pathetic.
In recent weeks, we’ve seen the Jewish controlled mass media and organized Jewish community attempt to tie Donald Trump to Dr. David Duke and the Klan in an effort to discredit the leading GOP contender, with the Anti-Defamation League demanding Trump “distance” himself from “White supremacists” (http://therealistreport.com/adl-to-trump-distance-yourself-from-duke-white-supremacists/). Abe Foxman, the former head of the ADL, and other “Holocaust survivors” recently expressed their outrage and horror at Trump’s alleged “Nazi-style fascist salute” at a recent rally in Florida (http://therealistreport.com/holocaust-survivors-appalled-at-trumps-fascist-nazi-style-salute/). (Trump simply asked his supporters to raise their right hands and pledge to vote for him, and the Jews are claiming he is bringing back the Third Reich!)
The anti-White producers of Saturday Night Live just made a skit equating Trump supporters to Nazis, White supremacists, bigots and Klansmen. Watch the video below:

The Jewish Daily Forward (http://forward.com/opinion/335805/never-again-means-taking-cue-from-protesters-and-confronting-donald-trump/) published yet another example of the hysterical, unhinged reaction anti-White Jewish Marxists are having to Donald Trump and his presidential candidacy. Invoking the fake “Holocaust” narrative and the Jews’ mantra of “Never again!,” Ari Paul (https://twitter.com/aripaul) argues that liberals must take a cue from the radical, anti-American protesters who have become increasingly more and more disruptive at recent Trump rallies (see what happened in Chicago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGFff6N0Bsg), for example), and continue to confront Trump and his supporters – physically if necessary.

On social media and over drinks, American liberals are discussing — sometimes jokingly and sometimes not — how to move to Canada if Donald Trump makes it into the White House. Between the violence against minorities at Trump rallies, the Nazi-like salutes and the candidate’s choice to tweet a quotation from Benito Mussolini, the idea that “it can’t happen here” is quickly giving way to the fear that it just might. But what the brave activists in Chicago have shown us is that our response to Trump’s barbarity should be not a massive evacuation, but a massive confrontation.
After hundreds of activists showed up to demonstrate against Trump at his March 11 Chicago rally, the event was abruptly cancelled. Since then, Trump’s defenders and a great many moderate liberals have been painting the activists as hypocrites, partisans who talk of free speech but silence others when they don’t like what they hear. But this is farcical. Trump gets more media attention than any other candidate. And although the First Amendment enjoins the state from silencing you or your group, it doesn’t protect you from unfriendly people who don’t like what you have to say.
Besides, it’s not like the activists are trying to stamp out just extreme speech. The Trump movement has already proven that it’s ready to use physical violence to enact its code of white nationalism. In no uncertain terms, the black, Muslim and Latino activists who are putting their bodies on the line in places like Chicago are acting in self-defense. […]
Could the delusion, hysteria, and viciousness on display here be any more obvious? Jews and radical anti-White leftists truly hate Donald Trump and his supporters.
We are seeing a dangerous precedent being set. The idea that radical extremists confronting and verbally assaulting individuals (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUQ7IIhgZE0) at a private event in an effort to disrupt it represents a legitimate exercise of the First Amendment is absolutely absurd. The protesters in Chicago are responsible for shutting down free speech and freedom of assembly – specifically guaranteed by the First Amendment – not exercising these rights.
I wonder what liberals and Jews would think if White nationalists showed up at a Bernie Sanders rally or, say, an AIPAC conference and disrupted it, intimidating and confronting attendees? Would they be defending the actions of the protesters as legitimate expressions of the First Amendment? I doubt it.
The anti-Trump crowd is constantly attempting to portray Trump as encouraging or endorsing violent. How exactly has the Trump movement demonstrated “it’s ready to use physical violence to enact its code of white nationalism,” as the author argues? Trump is not even a White nationalist! Even more incredibly, the radical, anti-American protesters who disrupted the Trump rally in Chicago were acting in self-defense, according to Paul! How much more delusional can these people be?
http://therealistreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Trump-protester.jpgThis protester rushed the podium at a Trump rally in Chicago in an act of “self-defense.”

http://therealistreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Trump-protester-2.jpgA protester in Chicago legitimately exercises his First Amendment right at a Trump rally by shouting at attendees and ripping up Trump signs.

Paul continues:

Jews always say in response to the Holocaust, “Never again.” Well, this activism is the living embodiment of that slogan. And if we liberals really believe in those two words, we should quit joking about moving to Canada and put our bodies on the line to protest Trump, too.
Trump has gone on the offensive against Bernie Sanders supporters, saying that the “communist” candidate has joined with angry racial minorities in forming a disruptive counter protest. It all sounds harsh, brash and hyperbolic, but there’s almost a refreshing honesty to it. Sanders may not be a communist — he’s a social democrat and a former kibbutznik, meaning that he actually believes in democratic freedom — but Trump is absolutely right that those who follow Sanders ideologically are predisposed to fighting Trump’s rhetoric in the streets as well as in the voting booths. Socialists of all varieties throughout history have fought and died to crush fascism, from the brigades of the Spanish civil war to resistance in Germany to the defense of Greece from the Nazis.
And those people who are on the receiving end of Trump’s racial incitement can’t wait until November to silently defend themselves.
This needs to be said plainly: Trump’s political ideology can only be defined as fascistic, and any other view is simply pedantic denialism. But it’s not his administration we should immediately fear. […]
What’s more troubling is that he’s brought angry, violent white nationalists out of the shadows. His rallies have become violent mobs directed at the mere presence of non-whites and Muslims. His popularity has emboldened organizations like the Ku Klux Klan and the online community Stormfront. While Trump’s presidency would be a comedic circus ending in Washington gridlock, he would give confidence to the most dangerous elements of American society. Trump might not organize Brown Shirts, but don’t be surprised if you see towns and schools districts become more overt and aggressive with their bigotry.
As scary as that sounds, it’s also the reason those of us who are seriously pondering fleeing should reconsider. […]
Watching Trump’s capitulation in Chicago, it’s clear that we need to keep the heat on him with our actions. It might be the only thing that can stop him.
These people will get violent folks. They are openly saying as much. They will do everything in their power to shut down The Donald. I admire their fighting spirit, but rest assured: that ain’t happening.
America is becoming more and more polarized with Trump’s candidacy, and it’s becoming more and more clear: you either support Donald Trump and want to ‪#‎MakeAmericaGreatAgain‬, or you’re with the hysterical, violent anti-American Commie terrorists attacking Trump supporters and disrupting his rallies.
I don’t know about you, but I know which side I’m on. #VoteTrump

Jewish Journalist: Trump Is Very Bad For The JewsFebruary 27, 2016 (http://therealistreport.com/jewish-journalist-trump-is-very-bad-for-the-jews/) Realist Report (http://therealistreport.com/author/realist/) 62 comments (http://therealistreport.com/jewish-journalist-trump-is-very-bad-for-the-jews/#comments)
http://cache.addthis.com/cachefly/static/btn/v2/lg-share-en.gif (http://addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=300)
It should be crystal clear to all at this point that the organized Jewish community does not want to see a Donald Trump presidency. They loathe the man and everything he stands for, which, in their eyes, is traditional White America.
We’ve seen Jewish “comedians” (http://therealistreport.com/jewish-comedian-bill-maher-equates-trump-to-hitler/) and “Holocaust survivors” (http://therealistreport.com/anne-franks-stepsister-equates-trump-to-hitler/) equate Trump to Adolf Hitler and the “evil Nazis” in a pathetic and dishonest attempt to discredit his candidacy. Following Trump’s proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States, the organized Jewish community unanimously condemned the man (http://therealistreport.com/organized-jewish-community-almost-unanimously-condemns-american-hero-donald-trump/) as “intolerant,” “racist,” and “bigoted.” The anti-White Jewish supremacist organization known as the Anti-Defamation League has demanded Trump distance himself from Dr. David Duke and other “White supremacists” (http://therealistreport.com/adl-to-trump-distance-yourself-from-duke-white-supremacists/) who have made positive statements about Trump’s public policy proposals and presidential campaign generally. The Jewish mayor of St. Petersburg, Florida even attempted to ban Trump (http://therealistreport.com/jewish-mayor-of-st-petersburg-florida-bans-american-truth-teller-donald-trump/) from stepping foot in the city! Suffice it to say, the Jews have been hysterically denouncing (http://therealistreport.com/hypocritical-jews-denounce-american-patriot-donald-trump/) Donald Trump for months now.
In the latest blatant attack on Trump, Andrew Silow-Carroll, a Jewish journalist and CEO of the New Jersey Jewish News, has just published an article in The Times of Israel (http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/trumps-america-is-bad-very-bad-for-the-jews/) entitled, “Trump’s America is bad, very bad, for the Jews.” It really is an incredible article, revealing the innate hatred and contempt the Jew has for traditional White America. The organized Jewish community has perverted and corrupted America to suit their own particular anti-White, Jewish supremacist agenda, and they view Donald Trump as a man who has the potential to destroy the degenerate, multicultural, Marxist nightmare they’ve created here.
http://therealistreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Trump-Bad-for-Jews.jpg

Two of my favorite television shows are about what I think it’s fair to call the “New America.” In Master of None, on Netflix, Indian-American comedian Aziz Ansari plays a struggling actor in a very real and diverse New York. His best friend is the son of Chinese immigrants. His girlfriend is white. And the plots have revolved, pointedly but never heavy-handedly, around the portrayal of minorities in mainstream media, and the struggles of immigrants chasing the American dream.
In Transparent, on Amazon, an alarmingly and hilariously dysfunctional Los Angeles family comes to terms with their father’s late-life realization that he (she) is transgender. Jeffrey Tambor plays Maura Pfefferman, the aging Jewish college professor who ditches a lonely suburban life for one in which gender and sexuality are fluid. Both of his daughters enter into same-sex relationships, and the question of whether they are gay, bi-, or adventurous seems to be left intentionally ambiguous. A son, Josh, is straight, promiscuous, and desperate for love.
Both shows represent a multicultural, urban America in which differences of all kinds are not just tolerated but celebrated. The immigrant characters in Master don’t need to prove themselves to the American “mainstream,” whatever that is, and don’t apologize for expecting America to live up to its promises. The LGBTQ characters in Transparent don’t suffer for their natures or their choices — at least when it comes to gender and sex (the Jewish characters mostly suffer from one another, but that’s an old story).
This is an America completely at odds with the one that has made Donald Trump the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination. Consider these stats, from political journalist Thomas B. Edsall (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/02/opinion/campaign-stops/donald-trumps-appeal.html?_r=0):
Poll data from the Pew Research Center shows how much Trump depends on the politically restive white working class. His backing from voters with a high school degree or less is twice as high as it is from those with college degrees; the percentage of men lining up behind him is eight points higher than the percentage of women; voters from households making $40,000 or less are 12 points more likely to cast a Trump ballot than those from households making more than $75,000.
In other words, Trump’s base tends to be white, male, undereducated, and struggling financially. But that doesn’t necessarily explain Trump’s appeal. After all, if economic self-interest were their only motivation, such voters might well support Bernie Sanders, who blames big business and crony capitalism for the inequality that has suppressed wages and decimated the working class.
But put it all together, and you get a chunk of the electorate for whom the New America is hardly America at all. If you were to create a composite from the Pew stats, you’d have a white guy who has almost nothing in common with the kinds of characters in Master or Transparent — that is, brown, Jewish, nontraditional, college-educated, pluralistic. These shows don’t represent to him what’s new about America, but what’s wrong with America. And worse, the seeming success of these characters, he feels, comes at the expense of “real” Americans like him.
Trump’s real ideology is murky, but his targets are clear: Immigrants bring problems and take away jobs. Muslims represent the worst kind of threat: an internal one. America is corrupt and fallen, and by opening its doors to foreigners, tolerating difference, and insisting upon “political correctness,” it has suppressed the very people — that is, middle-class white families — who once made the country great. […]
And that, ultimately, is why I see Trump as a threat, not just in what his candidacy means for America as a whole, but what it means for us as Jews. His message — of distrusting the foreign, of rejecting the new, of abhorring pluralism — is directly opposed to our history in this country and our best interests as a minority. And it is empowering people who reject the very notion of racial and ethnic diversity. […]
It’s very clear the organized Jewish community, as well as the mainstream mass media and political establishment generally – which of course are entirely dominated and controlled by organized Jewish interests hostile to the well-being and future prospects of the White race – absolutely hate Donald Trump. Everything Trump stands for runs contrary to the Jewish agenda to destroy the sovereignty of the United States and displace the very people whose ancestors founded and built this once great nation, which at this point has largely been accomplished.
More than anything, the Jews hate Trump because they view him as representing traditional White America, a racial demographic the Jews are at war with. Even though Trump has never made explicitly pro-White statements, his public policy proposals, particularly as they relate to immigration and international trade, are implicitly supportive of traditional White America. Trump has also courageously denounced political correctness, a key weapon of the organized Jewish community that is used to psychologically and intellectually enslave the masses while advancing Jewish interests.

Donald Trump is throwing a major wrench into the Jewish agenda to destroy America and displace her traditional racial demographic. We have to get this man in the White House!

Top 9/11 Criminals, Jewish Neocons Terrified of Trump PresidencyMarch 3, 2016 (http://therealistreport.com/top-911-criminals-jewish-neocons-terrified-of-trump-presidency/) Realist Report (http://therealistreport.com/author/realist/) 59 comments (http://therealistreport.com/top-911-criminals-jewish-neocons-terrified-of-trump-presidency/#comments)
http://cache.addthis.com/cachefly/static/btn/v2/lg-share-en.gif (http://addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=300)
Over the course of the past few days, Donald Trump has been utterly savaged by the mainstream #cuckservative Republican establishment, perhaps best epitomized by Mitt Romney’s lame, uninspiring, and – truth be told – irrelevant speech attacking Donald Trump (http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/03/politics/mitt-romney-presidential-race-speech/index.html). The political and media establishment generally are going all out in an attempt to discredit and derail (http://therealistreport.com/adl-to-trump-distance-yourself-from-duke-white-supremacists/) the #TrumpTrain. It’s laughable, and will utterly fail, in this writer’s opinion.
The Los Angeles Times editorial board recently opined (http://www.latimes.com/opinion/editorials/la-ol-donald-trump-unsuited-to-be-president-20160302-story.html)that Trump is not fit to be president of the United States, while the Jew Larry Summers declared (http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/22664-globalist-insider-larry-summers-trump-is-a-serious-threat-to-american-democracy)Trump to be a “serious threat to American democracy.” Michael Hayden, the former CIA director, boldly and entirely irrationally predicted (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/02/28/former-cia-director-military-may-refuse-to-follow-trumps-orders-if-he-becomes-president/)that the American military may refuse to follow Trump’s orders if he is indeed elected president. Israelis (http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-1.705304)and their loyal cousins occupying, manipulating, and exploiting the Western world are worried about Trump (http://www.thejc.com/news/world-news/154004/american-jews-voice-deep-fears-donald-trump-surges), with some hysterically lamenting that they “utterly failed to prevent the rise of ‘toxic’ Donald Trump,” according to a recent headline in The Jewish Daily Forward (http://forward.com/opinion/334517/how-republican-jews-utterly-failed-to-prevent-rise-of-toxic-donald-trump/).
Trump has demonstrated once again that the entire political and media establishment – both of which are entirely dominated by organized Jewry and their subversive, anti-White agenda – are totally opposed to his candidacy and what he represents. That should be clear to all observers of American politics.
Making matters even more dramatic, a number of prominent 9/11 criminals (https://wikispooks.com/wiki/9-11/Israel_did_it) – all of whom are Jews, of course – and neocons generally (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/trump-is-the-gops-frankenstein-monster-now-hes-strong-enough-to-destroy-the-party/2016/02/25/3e443f28-dbc1-11e5-925f-1d10062cc82d_story.html) have all recently denounced Trump, as the Jewish Telegraph Agency (http://www.jta.org/2016/03/03/news-opinion/united-states/jewish-conservatives-among-republican-national-security-leaders-blasting-trump) reported today.
http://therealistreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Screenshot-129.png

A number of prominent Jewish Republicans are among dozens of conservatives in the U.S. national security community who have come out against Donald Trump, the front-runner in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
The letter (http://warontherocks.com/2016/03/open-letter-on-donald-trump-from-gop-national-security-leaders/)posted Wednesday by some 60 influential conservatives in think tanks and alumni of Republican administrations lists the ways they say the billionaire real estate magnate would “make America less safe,” including “hateful, anti-Muslim rhetoric” that “undercuts the seriousness of combating Islamic radicalism.” It also accuses Trump of contempt for neighbors such as Mexico and allies like Japan while admiring dictators such as Russia’s Vladimir Putin.
Trump is feckless, the letter says.
“He swings from isolationism to military adventurism within the space of one sentence,” it said.
“As committed and loyal Republicans, we are unable to support a Party ticket with Mr. Trump at its head,” said the letter posted on “War on The Rocks,” a conservative foreign policy and national security news and opinion website. “We commit ourselves to working energetically to prevent the election of someone so utterly unfitted to the office.
A good portion of the signatories are Jewish members of the conservative national community, including Michael Chertoff, the homeland security secretary under President George W. Bush; Max Boot, a senior foreign policy adviser to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., when he was the 2008 GOP presidential candidate; Eric Edelman, an undersecretary of defense under George W. Bush; and Dov Zakheim, a deputy undersecretary of defense under President Ronald Reagan. Eliot Cohen, a counselor in the State Department under George W. Bush, initiated the letter.
The signatories, notably, include both realists such as Zakheim and neoconservatives like Boot, representing two strands of Republican foreign policy thinking that are often at odds.
Jewish Republicans have been unsettled (http://www.jta.org/2016/03/01/news-opinion/politics/prospect-of-trump-nomination-poses-dilemma-for-jewish-republicans)by the rise of Trump, who has said he will remain neutral when he approaches peacemaking between Israel and the Palestinians. […]
Regular readers of this site recognize the significance of individuals like Chertoff, Boot, Zakheim, Cohen, and Kagan hysterically denouncing Donald Trump – these men represent some of the top criminals responsible for both 9/11 and the disastrous invasion of Iraq (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUbTe50UUgM), which Trump has eloquently and powerfully criticized as an unnecessary war based on lies.
As the war on Trump intensifies, America is becoming more and more polarized. I certainly do not view Trump as a savior or think simply getting him elected will solve the countless problems facing this once great nation. However, getting Trump in the White House will no doubt be a step in the right direction, and will push the political discourse in this country further towards positions outlined and analyzed here.

Donald Trump Is Winning Because White America Is DyingNoam Chomsky says Trump’s rise is partly due to deeply rooted — and potentially fatal — feelings of fear and anger. 02/25/2016 07:17 pm ET | Updated Feb 26, 2016

Matt Ferner (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/matt-ferner)National Reporter, The Huffington Post

What’s killing white, middle-aged, poorly educated American men? Noam Chomsky suggests it’s a sense of hopelessness that may be fueling Donald Trump’s popularity.


Noam Chomsky, the renowned scholar and MIT professor emeritus, says that the rise of Donald Trump in American politics is, in part, fueled by deeply rooted fear and hopelessness that may be caused by an alarming spike in mortality rates for a generation of poorly educated whites.
“He’s evidently appealing to deep feelings of anger, fear, frustration, hopelessness, probably among sectors like those that are seeing an increase in mortality, something unheard of apart from war and catastrophe,” Chomsky told The Huffington Post in an interview on Thursday.
Trump’s rise as the Republican presidential front-runner has been confounding for Americans across the political spectrum. The bombastic, billionaire demagogue has won three of the first four primary states (http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/02/24/donald_trump_wins_nevada_s_republican_caucus.html) and holds a lead in the polls, both nationwide and in upcoming primary contests. He now appears poised to take an insurmountable delegate lead (http://www.vox.com/2016/2/24/11104782/republican-donald-trump-polls-delegates) over the next several weeks, based on a platform of hate and vitriol targeted at women (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/18-real-things-donald-trump-has-said-about-women_us_55d356a8e4b07addcb442023), Latinos (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/9-outrageous-things-donald-trump-has-said-about-latinos_us_55e483a1e4b0c818f618904b), Muslims (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-muslim-immigration-us_us_5665f75de4b072e9d1c7252b) and other (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-black-lives-matter-protester_us_5651ea96e4b0258edb31dd7e) minorities (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-mocks-disabled-reporter_us_56572101e4b072e9d1c1d1c0).
A legion of less educated (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/in-face-of-criticism-trump-surges-to-his-biggest-lead-over-the-gop-field/2015/12/14/b9555e30-a29c-11e5-9c4e-be37f66848bb_story.html), working-class (http://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/white--working-class-men-back-trump--charts-show-598331459704) white men has fueled Trump’s rise. And while many say the business mogul is capitalizing on their fears about the perceived decline of white dominance (http://www.salon.com/2016/02/22/donald_trumps_rageful_white_cult_race_fear_and_the _gop_front_runners_slick_manipulations/) in America, Chomsky says there may also be more existential forces at play.
Life expectancy, in general, has increased steadily over time. And thanks largely to advances in health care (http://www.wsj.com/articles/global-life-expectancy-increases-by-about-six-years-1418861100), many people around the world live longer lives. There are exceptions, of course — during war or natural catastrophes, for example. But what’s happening now in America, he says, is “quite different.”
Despite vast wealth and modern medicine, the U.S. has lower average life expectancy than many other nations (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2013/11/21/the-u-s-ranks-26th-for-life-expectancy-right-behind-slovenia/). And while the average has been increasing recently (http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/research/files/papers/2014/04/differential-mortality-retirement-benefits-bosworth/differential_mortality_retirement_benefits_boswort h_version_2.pdf), the gains are not evenly spread out. Wealthier Americans are living longer lives, while the poor are living shorter ones (http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/research/files/papers/2014/04/differential-mortality-retirement-benefits-bosworth/differential_mortality_retirement_benefits_boswort h_version_2.pdf).
Poorly educated, middle-aged American white males are particularly affected, multiple (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/03/health/death-rates-rising-for-middle-aged-white-americans-study-finds.html) recent (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/13/health/disparity-in-life-spans-of-the-rich-and-the-poor-is-growing.html?_r=0) studies suggest. While Americans from other age, racial and ethnic groups are living longer lives than ever before, this particularly segment of the population is dying faster.
A study on the issue (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/03/health/death-rates-rising-for-middle-aged-white-americans-study-finds.html) found that the rising death rate for this group is not due to the ailments that commonly kill so many Americans, like diabetes and heart disease, but rather by an epidemic of suicides, liver disease caused by alcohol abuse, and overdoses of heroin and prescription opioids.
“No war, no catastrophe,” Chomsky says, has caused the spiking mortality rate for this population. “Just the impact of policies over a generation that have left them, it seems, angry, without hope, frustrated, causing self-destructive behavior.”
That could well explain Trump’s appeal, he speculated.
In an interview with Alternet this week, Chomsky compared the poverty that many Americans now face with the conditions an older generation confronted during the Great Depression.
“It’s interesting to compare the situation in the ‘30s, which I’m old enough to remember,” he said (http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/noam-chomsky-we-owe-rise-trump-fear-and-breakdown-society). “Objectively, poverty and suffering were far greater. But even among poor working people and the unemployed, there was a sense of hope that is lacking now.”
Chomsky attributes some of that Depression-era hope to the growth of an aggressive labor movement and the existence of political organizations outside of the mainstream.
Today, however, he says the mood is quite different for Americans who are deeply affected by poverty.
“[They] are sinking into hopelessness, despair and anger — not directed so much against the institutions that are the agents of the dissolution of their lives and world, but against those who are even more harshly victimized,” he said. “Signs are familiar, and here it does evoke some memories of the rise of European fascism.”
CORRECTION: A previous version of this story misstated that a study on rising death rates for middle-aged white Americans received a Nobel Memorial Prize. It was, in fact, one of the authors of the study who won the prize for other work.
