That's all they've got, "racism". So every single fricking thing will be tied to it somehow.

ETA: I don't think the phrase is racist on any level, but lucky lindy was, as a matter of historical fact, a Nazi sympathizer.

It amazes me that liberalism is willing to cede that its ideology is completely divorced from putting America's interest first. Forty years ago, you'd become persona non grata for suggesting that anything other than America first was appropriate. Now it is "racist."

I think they are trying to imply that "America First" is a phrase used by white people to keep it white, and also infers Imperial concerns.

In reality, they hate the Anti-Globalist message because Globalism is their goal.

Because Leftists believe everyone and everything is racist, because deep inside they are racist and are projecting.

It isn't but they have to feed the liberal sheep to keep up the racist republican theme.

Because Americans are the best race. All the people of the non-American race suck.

Anything Republicans say is racist until proven otherwise.

Also, you can't prove otherwise.

Because words mean what Progressives want them to mean, and they know if the control the language they control the conversation. Ironically, now that they have the "Fake News" tag, it doesn't work.
