The left adjusts the pitch of its dog whistles week by week and they have become more and more strident and vile. Thing is, lately they’ve gone largely berserk.
CNN’s John Avlon approaches the outer markers of Godwin’s Law.
CNN’s John Avlon Compares Trump to Mass Murderers Lenin, Stalin
Today it was the language dog whistle:
CNN’s Camerota: Trump ‘Using Some of the Same Language’ as Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooter
CBS’s O’Donnell Slimes: Trump Used Same Language as Synagogue Shooter

GQ WRITER JULIA IOFFE: TRUMP HAS RADICALIZED MANY MORE PEOPLE THAN ISIS
If the day ends in “Y” there will be another Joe Scarborough hit on Trump
Scarborough: Trump’s ‘Been Playing the Racist Card,’ ‘It’s Like Charlottesville Every Day’
And of course there’s the inimitable Don Lemon, who would terminate all white men
Don Lemon: ‘The Biggest Terror Threat in This Country Is White Men’
This is all getting beyond the pale and it is offensive. But there is a more insidious and disgraceful effort ongoing and it’s related to the Lemonade above.
The constant left wing media poison is taking a toll
Now, a poll from the Public Religion Research Institute released Monday suggests that most Americans agree that Trump has “encouraged white supremacist groups” with his decisions and behavior.
Trump has been resistant to the smears, so an adjustment is in order.
Have you noticed that “white supremacist” has evolved into “white nationalist”?
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has put white nationalists on a roller coaster ride in the closing days before the midterm elections.
Eight days ago, Trump declared himself a “nationalist” at a campaign rally in Houston. Then, after 11 worshipers were slaughtered at a Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday, he condemned “the scourge of anti-Semitism.” And in a snippet of an interview with “Axios on HBO” released Monday, amid a broader push to make his hard-line immigration stance a focal point of the election in a week, he announced a proposal to end “birthright citizenship” by executive order.
The dark corners of the white nationalist movement take different views of Trump: Some on the far right are ardent supporters who see him as a fellow traveler, while others believe that the president has failed to live up to his promises on immigration and has been too supportive of Israel and too close to Jewish advisers, including members of his own family.
So you’re white and you believe in America first, i.e. a Trump supporter, you’re a “white nationalist.” Which means you’re now also a white supremacist.
And a racist and an Anti-Semite. How convenient. It’s evolved because it is assumed that it will be easier to make this pejorative stick to Trump.
See how that works? You’re likely to hear a lot of it over the next two years.
