THE VIEW FROM HERE - One benefit of Centrism is that Centrists feel no compunction to agree with either GOP or Dem propaganda. Moreover, they may agree with some aspects of the GOP or even some of MAGA, while strongly opposing other GOP positions. Likewise with Dems and Woke propaganda – some good, some not so good. Another benefit of Centrists, who registered as Independent versus those Centrists who still have a party label, is that it is easier for pollsters to find and measure Independent views. When pollsters can find Centrists, the resulting polls can report on which policies Centrists like and which they dislike. This feedback loop is vital to counterbalancing the extremists. Today, California Centrists more likely hold negative views on Trump’s anti-Mexicanism, while agreeing with his support of Israel.
Stephen Miller, Architect of Vile anti-Mexican Racism
Since Trump is a born and bred New Yorker, he knows nada about Mexicans. He appears to use the terms “Mexican” and “immigrants” interchangeably which is similar to thinking that the Dodgers are a football team. Stephen Miller is Trump’s own Joseph Goebbels, promoting anti-Mexicanism the way Goebbels did anti-Semitism.
Furthermore, the terms Hispanics and Latino are inventions of woke politicos who care nothing about Mexicans. Mexicans trace their lineage to Mexico whether their family has been living in the United States for ten years or 250 years. Their families often have a mixture of legal and illegal. By lumping lots of diverse groups from Cubans and Puerto Ricans in the Eastern US with people with Spanish surnames from Spain and South America, the Dems hoped to create a large special interest group under the Woke Ideology where all Hispanics and Latinos were supposed to subscribe to the same dogma that America is a terrible country where Whites and Jews oppress all minorities. The Woke Dems do not give a tinker’s damn for Mexicans as was shown in Los Angeles back in 2022 2023 with the Dem Woke led an anti-Mexican crusade against LA city councilmembers Nury Martinez, Gil Cedillo and Kevin DeLeon. The goal was to secure council district 13 seat for Woke and DSA member Dem Hugo Soto-Martinez and take council district 14 away from DeLeon and install a Woker. The latter was accomplished with the elevation of Ysabel (“fuck the police”) Jurado in 2024. The claim that the three councilmembers were anti-Black was the type of propaganda which pre WWII Germany ran against Jews. Woke hostility for non-woke Mexicans was shown by the fact when the Woke crowds threatened council President Nury Martinez’ son, there was no LAPD protection. She had to flee her home and resign as city council president. When BLM member Jason Reedy was videotaped stalking and battering councilmember Kevin DeLeon, woke Mayor Karen Bass made certain that the LAPD did not arrest Reedy nor was the LAPD allowed to investigate the origin of the Reddit tape which the Wokers had used to launch their anti-Mexican campaign. What police department refuses to investigate the scene of a crime? Nor, has the LAPD investigated whether the real reason that LAPD Chief Michel Moore prematurely resigned was in disgust over the “woke yoke” which Karen Bass had placed on the LAPD. Stephen Miller has kept President Trump in dark about the nature of The Mexicans with Miller’s polluting Trump’s mind with endless defamatory lies about Mexicans being criminals.
Not only are Mexicans the original inhabitants of the American Southwest, but they founded Los Angeles in 1781. As explained in “Deporting Mexicans from Los Angeles is like Deporting Jews from Jerusalem,” See Mexicans and Jews Mexicans have continuously been in the Southwest and have been a major force in building the United States. Despite Stephen Miller’s racist advice to President Trump, Mexicans are extremely patriotic and have served in all branches of the United State military. see Mexicans in Military
Everyone should stand up and oppose ICE’s anti-Mexicans raids. While LA’s government is turning socialist, and is burdensome, and anti-anyone who is not Woke, the Trump’s victimization of the Mexicans is not the solution. The degree of MAGA disrespect for our senior US Senator Alex Padilla is highlighted by VP Vance’s repeatedly calling him “Jose” which is akin to calling a Black person “boy.”
Trump’s Policy on Israel and Iran
When it comes to President Trump’s policies and actions on Israel and Iran, Trump is one thousand percent correct. Since 1979, Iran has been a murderous theocracy based on the belief that Mohammad established the one true religion and Allah hates the Jews because they did not accept Mohammad as his prophet. Under the Islamists’ view, the existence of the state of Israel is more than an affront to Islam; it is a denial of the Shahada that There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his Messenger. It is an article of faith that Israel must be destroyed, and the Jews exterminated. Not acting on the Shahada can forfeit one’s life in the hereafter. (Christians used to have a similar approach where they would burn non-believers at the stake.) People, who claim that the Ayatollahs think like practical business types, weighing the pluses and minus of a certain course of action, should offer no opinions on the Iranian regime. See Why Iran Hates Jews Start at 8:10. Even Westerners, who know how the Ayatollahs think, seldom fathom that they will choose their own destruction. The sole reason Iran would return to peace talks is to buy more time to kill Jews; it will never give up its theological imperative that both Israel and America must be destroyed. At the end of WW II did Hitler surrender? No! He chose suicide.
Wokeism, Nazism, Islam are Parallel Ideologies
Both the Islamists in Iran, the Nazis, and the Dem Wokers have the same ideology. For Wokers, Nazis, and Islamists, the world is dichotomized. For Wokeism, the divide is Whites/Jews vs minorities, for Nazis it was Jews vs Aryans, and for Islam, its Dar al-Islam (Muslims) vs Dar al-Harb (everyone else). The Islamists see the existence of us Jews, flourishing in free modern societies to be an unbearable oppression of Islam. As long as the Muslims could assert their superiority by keeping Jews in secondary positions and periodically murdering thousands of Jews, they were satisfied to allow Jews to exist. When it was obvious that Jews were a self-actualizing people who worked their way to the top of their societies and were re-establishing their ancient homeland, a basic tenet of Islam was proven false. Dar al-Harb was ascending, and Dar al-Islam was descending. Trump is correct that Iran poses an existential threat to Israel, America, and Western Civilization. Trump realized that if these religious fanatics get nukes, they will use them in the name of Allah. The longer the West allows Iran to play it for the fool with “peace talks,” the harder it will be to stop Iran’s nuclear goal to make the entire world Dar-al-Islam. Thanks to Trump, the time to stop Iran is now!
