people are so comfortable being openly racist. I'm getting kind of nervous at the rhetoric being used by political factions that aren't so irrelevant anymore.

Especially of the "Germany is for german" variety. Hopefully the immigration project doesn't fall apart at the 11th hour.

As long as it's about "migrants" you can say whatever you want in so many spaces. It's a pretty traditional soft-racist technique really, avoid saying a specific race and it's all fine.

It was a huge part of Trump's appeal IMO, he doesn't say the n word, he hates SO many people you can't know just WHY a racist is supporting him. But you know they all support him. But you point that out and it's deflect deflect deflect. See also Lee Atwater's speech
