This is the first time Trump has used the word “Africa” on Twitter as president – to express support for white people, on the recommendation of white nationalists’ Fox host. pic.twitter.com/wFiZPVu7Go

You know the Fox News Repub puke-funnel operators are pretty desperate when they’re reduced to scavenging white-nationalist-prepper lists for gruesome fantasies of stalwart Afrikaner farmers threatened by the violent minions of corrupt black nationalist bureaucrats. Hey, it worked for St. Ronnie, back in the golden days!… and besides, it’s not like they have to worry about crossing Paul Manafort any longer.
Get the story behind the president’s tweet about “white farmers.” The @washingtonpost has you covered. https://t.co/uj6iXLVax7

Of course, it’s a bit of an embarrassment to the remaining “sane GOP members”, as they flee for the exits…
behold everyone, the bravest republican. https://t.co/vdd8K7XVBH

OK. As an Afrikaner South African: This issue is blown up by the alt-right and dark-web that after Charlottesville and Dylann Roof gained some sort of false legitimacy: “This was the province of Stormfront five, 10 years ago, white genocide in SA.” https://t.co/JNh6bH83f5 (1) https://t.co/Sq2HknKje8
