Steve Sailer writes<\/a>: It\u2019s hard to remember all the media manias that have come and gone in attempts to derail the Trump candidacy. For example, the Great Six-Pointed Star Crisis of early July 2016 is already largely forgotten.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to remember now after so much leftist violence, but one of the biggest coordinated press campaigns back in the late winter was the idea that Trump rallies were loci of \u201cviolence.\u201d Thus, when there was mob violence at a Trump rally in Chicago in March, it was widely blamed initially by the press and politicians on Trump and his violent supporters. Of course, that was 180 degrees backward.<\/p>\n

So how did Trump\u2019s convention in Cleveland turn out? Did Trump\u2019s cossacks sack Shaker Heights? Or did that not actually go through the formality of taking place?<\/p>\n

COMMENTS:<\/p>\n

* Trump\u2019s supporters tend to be tough looking, blue collar white men. Lots of bikers, truckers, cops, firefighters, and ex-military types. They\u2019re ready for violence and capable of winning fights, but they\u2019re not really anarchic or lawless. They\u2019re sort of like guards, not rioters.<\/p>\n

Up until the 90s, there were lots of urban working class neighborhoods full of these types. Their neighborhoods tended to be relatively safe and minorities were often too scared to move in.<\/p>\n

Lots of them used to be hardhat Democrats. Since the mid 90s, they\u2019ve been economically and racially marginalized by both parties. Trump seems to really appeal to them.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve never been much into racial guilt or acting deferential to minorities. They\u2019ve beat up some rowdy black protesters who tried to disrupt Trump rallies.<\/p>\n

* Hats off to Trump and [Stephen] Miller. I was totally blown away. Trump\u2019s obvious sincerity when describing the murders of Americans by illegal aliens and the effects on their families was very impressive and touching. A truly great and historic speech in my opinion. Also the perfect setup for Hillary\u2019s BLACK LIVES MATTER heartless hatefest scheduled in Philadelphia. It\u2019s on now, and I couldn\u2019t have asked for a better kickoff.<\/p>\n

* Was there ever a time that it was against the law for non-citizens\/foreign interests to own sizable\/ shares\/control over national media generators? Imagine Japan having editorial control over or even owning part of the LA Times prior\/ during WWII.<\/p>\n

Why is Carlos Slim allowed to own a sizable interest in the NY Times as Mexico continues to aggressively mass carpet-bomb us with strategic, sporadically virus-laden, biological warheads, with threats of sending even more if politicians don\u2019t do his\/Mexico\u2019s bidding?<\/p>\n

* The political geeks can\u2019t figure out why Peter Thiel would endorse Trump, but it makes sense given their German connection. Germans like Thiel\u2019s and Trump\u2019s extended families, along with Scots like Trump\u2019s mother, have a long history of valuing the United States as a second home and a refuge from the Old World. German Americans\u2019 proprietary orientation towards this country leads them to treat it as an asset that needs careful management to maintain its value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
