Neoconservative commentator Bill Kristol labeled white Americans "the enemy" in a column on Friday because the majority support Donald Trump for president. (Article by Chris Menahan republished from InformationLiberation.com) In a piece for The Bulwark, Kristol praised Barack Obama for his comments encouraging "the brothers" to support Kamala Harris for president before putting out a statement of his own echoing the former president's remarks. "If you believe it's important to defeat Trump, it's not Obama's 'brothers' who are the problem. It's my 'brothers' who are the problem: white voters," Kristol wrote, self-identifying as a fellow white person. Kristol continued:
You want to know why Trump has a decent chance to win the presidency again? Because most white Americans support him. In the latest New York Times/Siena poll, Trump wins white voters by 52 percent to 44 percent. [...] If Trump wins on November 5, it will be because of his support from a majority of white America. As a white American, and a white American man to boot, I've got to say, in the immortal words of Pogo: We have met the enemy and he is us.
Bill Kristol, a Jewish Zionist who helped push America into the war in Iraq, in 2017 called for the "lazy, spoiled" white working class to be replaced by "new Americans." "Look, to be totally honest, if things are so bad as you say with the white working class, don't you want to get new Americans in?" Kristol said. "Seriously, you can make the case -- this is going on too long and this is too crazy, probably, and I hope this thing isn't being videotaped or ever shown anywhere. Whatever tiny, pathetic future I have is going to totally collapse." Kristol continued: "You can make a case that America has been great because every -- I think John Adams said this -- basically if you're a free society, a capitalist society, after two or three generations of hard work everyone becomes kind of decadent, lazy, spoiled -- whatever." "Then, luckily, you have these waves of people coming in from Italy, Ireland, Russia, and now Mexico, who really want to work hard and really want to succeed and really want their kids to live better lives than them and aren't sort of clipping coupons or hoping that they can hang on and meanwhile grew up as spoiled kids and so forth. In that respect, I don't know how this moment is that different from the early 20th century." Read more at: InformationLiberation.com
