I have a lot of foreign readers and I know that is what you are asking. It is also what my mind is asking and I have taken a lot of time to think about this before putting fingers to the keyboard.
The only answer is really what did you think a prominent promoter of the birther movement would really believe. Trump is a racist for some reason and he believes in his heart that racists deserve respect for their views. And he believes the alt-right view that there is an alt-left violent extremist movement. While I will acknowledge that criminal acts occurred during the Inauguration demonstration, the fact is that was a small minority of the many thousands who have demonstrated against Trump on multiple occasions without any criminal acts. In contrast, what are we to make of people who march at night with torches (a favorite KKK activity), throw their hands in the air with Heil Hitler salutes, and believe in white supremacy.
All you have to do is look at the historical horrors of Slavery, Apartheid, Nazi Germany, and Russia in repeated ways to know white people are not a superior race to any other race. Human beings are all the same. We can be honorable loving people or we can be horrible. Asian cultures have had multiple genocides. Africa has corruption, rampant criminality, and smaller genocides. The Islamic world is full of examples of innocents being slaughtered in the name of religious piety.
The alt-right wants to return to a culture where white people reign supreme over other people. They have no other goal, and Donald Trump believes in that goal for some reason. That is why Trump was a birther during the Obama Administration. That is why he was unfit to be President and I for one cannot fathom how any respectable Republican could justify putting this man in the White House so they could have a conservative Supreme Court and pass tax cuts for the wealthy.
This is a nightmare. It is exhausting for those of us who live with this b*llsh*t every single day of the week. And I don't understand how any respectable human being could work for this man. Anyone who does has a questionable character.
So my foreign readers, I know each of you has your own challenges in this area. The world is a pretty f*cking ugly place right now because government has failed in the Islamic world, migrants are causing stress in the Western world, and people are fed up with this and listening to Alt-right candidates all over the place. We need a global decency movement that can still deal with authoritarian thugs.
