Jon Ronson Quote

Racists and conspiracy theorists are taking succor from Trump’s nomination. His fans are frequently caught on camera at his rallies yelling at protesters, Go back to Africa and Allah is a whore and Go to fucking Auschwitz and Go make my fucking tortilla, motherfucker. They hang effigies of Hillary Clinton from nooses. At a high school basketball game in Indiana in March, white students chanted Trump! Trump! Trump! at Latino students. Everyone knew what that meant: It was a new way to be racist.
