WE WERE WARNED: A thread
In 2016 Hillary delivered an historic speech in Reno NV. Sadly, her warning was all but ignored then & seems all but forgotten now
So today I’m tweeting highlights of that speech cause NO ONE should be surprised by this chaos

“Trump built his campaign on prejudice & paranoia
He’s taking hate groups mainstream & helping a radical fringe take over 1 of Americas 2 major political parties
His disregard for the values that make our country great is profoundly dangerous”

“It takes a lot of nerve to ask people he’s ignored & mistreated for decades “What do you have to lose?”
The answer is everything!”

“Trump’s lack of knowledge or experience or solutions would be bad enough but what he’s doing here is more sinister.He’s reinforcing harmful stereotypes & offering a dog whistle to his most hateful supporters
It’s a disturbing preview of what kind of President he’d be.”
“This is what I want to make clear today
A man with a long history of racial discrimination, who traffics in dark conspiracy theories drawn from the pages of supermarket tabloids & the far reaches of the internet, SHOULD NEVER RUN OUR GOVERNMENT OR COMMAND OUR MILITARY”

“Some people still want to give Trump the benefit of the doubt. They hope that he’ll eventually reinvent himself, that there’s a kinder, gentler, more responsible Donald Trump waiting in the wings somewhere....
But the hard truth is, there’s no other Donald Trump. THIS IS IT”

“This is someone who retweets white supremacists online, like the user who goes by the name White-Genocide-TM.
Trump took this fringe bigot with a few dozen followers and spread his message to 11 million people!”

“There’s always been a paranoid fringe in our politics, steeped in racial resentment. But it’s never had the nominee of a major party stoking it, encouraging it, and giving it a national megaphone....
Until now”
#HillaryWarnedUs
Watch her speech here
Until now”
#HillaryWarnedUs
Watch her speech here
“No one should have any illusions about what’s really going on here. The names may have changed, racists now call themselves “racialists.” White supremacists now call themselves “white nationalists.” The paranoid fringe calls itself “alt-right.” But the hate burns just as bright”
And lastly, the quote that says it all..
“He says he wants to “make America great again,” but his real message remains “Make America hate again.”
This isn’t just about one election. It’s about who we are as a nation.”
Shame on the country for not listening #HillaryWarnedUs

Hillary’s alt right speech is a 1/2 hour long & worth watching still today, esp now when we have so many people playing dumb or trying to wash their hands clean
Anyone who cared about decency knew who Trump was & what he was capable of 4 years ago
