Fuck white nationalists, but this article seems like a sensationalist headline with little actual backing. They don’t give a full quote of a single sentence of his speech, and seem to take a lot of liberties connecting the dots. I don’t know anything about this guy, and he may well be a piece of shit, but I don’t trust this style of reporting.
This year, Schmitt, a sitting senator, outdid them both. Schmitt opened by reiterating the antisemitic tropes of his senior colleague. America is threatened by the “elites,” he declared, “who rule everywhere but are not truly from anywhere.” This is the “rootless cosmopolitan” trope at the heart of modern antisemitism. They serve “global liberalism” and “global capital” and support mass migration, he continued, a nod to the “great replacement” theory, which blames Jews for replacing white Americans with nonwhite immigrants.
The white Europeans who settled America and conquered the West “believed they were forging a nation—a homeland for themselves and their descendants,” he said. “They fought, they bled, they struggled, they died for us. They built this country for us. America, in all its glory, is their gift to us, handed down across the generations. It belongs to us. It’s our birthright, our heritage, our destiny. If America is everything and everyone, then it is nothing and no one at all. But we know that’s not true. America is not a ‘universal nation.’ ”
Give me a full quote… all I’m saying. There’s not a single sentence.
Edit: my bad, I just realized your quote was the one full quote in the article that I’d missed. Lack of coffee. Still, a whole lot of editorializing around a bunch of partial quotes.
I wish you weren’t getting down voted for this. The free-mixing of partial quotes with editorial interpretation in the same sentence is egregiously misleading. Yes, this is a white nationalist dog whistle speech. Print it, then explain the rhetoric. Putting words in his mouth only invites rejection for bias, and, in this case, rejection is justified.
Haha, thanks friend. I didn’t type it for upvotes or downvotes though, I was just annoyed. I get that it’s unpopular. It’s a lot easier to just be angry. I prefer to be both angry and annoyed though. 😅

And again, fuck white nationalists.

Yeah so he’s still dog whistling at it. Hate to see it but it’s not really mask off
