On this administration's end game and the future of America:
"As to their end game, I wish it was as easy as saying that I think it's
about creating a structure that economically benefits them. If that were
just the case, then we would be back in the Bush administration. The
problem, I think, with this administration is that what we have heard
and seen, it's not about economics--it's about the primacy of whiteness,
and not just whiteness. It's so close, so close to what we say in Nazi
Germany in many ways. Well, when you have an attack on the queer
community, the kinds of things that we've heard from Pence. The man is
not Vice President for a minute, and he's concerned with bathrooms. When
you hear the kind of racist rhetoric that catapulted Trump into power,
and you know that those rallies are continuing. Then it's not just about
getting elected. It's about something else. And that is what should
terrify us. It should terrify us....
"So I think we need to be frightened. We need to be frightened by this
administration, we need to understand that they mean what they say. We
need to understand that dropping 'white' from 'white nationalist'
doesn't make you not a white nationalist. We can't be like oh, oh, okay."
