Since the election, there has been a growing number of hate crimes and intimidation, particularly against Muslims and Latinos, but also threatening African Americans, gays and lesbians, and women.
Hate groups, sadly, see the Donald Trump victory as license to threaten and intimidate groups that have been disrespected and vilified by the Trump campaign and its supporters.
If we are to have a President who wishes to unite all the American people as he claims he wishes to, then Donald Trump needs to condemn the hate crimes and intimidation, and pronto, but so far, nothing has been said or done by the President-Elect.
Knowing Trump’s history, if one is expecting him to speak up, it is likely a dream, a mirage, and that portends persecution of groups and a curbing of enforcement of civil rights and civil liberties.
A nightmare seems to be in the making, and there is, at least for now, great concern about lawlessness in the name of super nationalism and hard line religion becoming the new norm!
Politico reports that Trump has selected Bannon as his “chief strategist and senior counselor,†and RNC Chairman Reince Prebius as his chief of staff.

Games or Propaganda Party
So by choosing Priebus, Little Donnie first signals working with the establishment and maybe reassures some smart Republicans who opposed his dangerous world views. Then he goes in a diametrically opposed direction and picks Bannon who favors and fuels racism, division, religious persecution, and inequality. Get ready for the state-run propaganda machine and perhaps shutdown of media as we know it.
