"14 words" is, uh, quite the coincidental thing to say wrt this specific speech https://t.co/vUrFdKAWC3 https://t.co/cfzGn3ms0M

Following up on Betty’s earlier post… when you type “fourteen words” into Google, here’s the Wikipedia entry at the top of the responses:
Fourteen Words, or simply 14, is a reference to a white supremacist slogan: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”
Now, the original is from Palin’s official Twitter feed, but it’s not initialed, so presumably she didn’t write it herself. Quite possibly she doesn’t even know how piercing a white-supremacist dogwhistle that ‘fourteen words’ phrasing can be. But you’re not gonna convince me that the wanna-be supremacists (cough*Stephen Miller*cough*) who wrote that speech for Trump didn’t know how it would be interpreted — by “God Emperor Trump”‘s Reddit fans, if not the morans doing racetrack-tout journamalism for America’s Least Productive News Media…
It is worth reading Trump's speech in Poland today. It's one of his better ones.https://t.co/CGsJuMf9tQ

it was a not-even-veiled white nationalist speech https://t.co/Myn6d6hSWU

Imagine being a political writer in this moment and being utterly unable to identify clear white nationalist dogwhistles.

My timeline is full of Responsible Conservatives who can't hide their joy that an American POTUS is talking about "will" and "culture."
