>a political platform that pervasively equates mexicans with dirty criminals, muslims with terrorists, gay and trans people with the mentally ill, and anyone who isn't a white rural christian with "not a real american".

Those are some extraordinary claims, I'd like to see something to back them up with.

These are hardly extraordinary claims. If you survey the daily news from dozens of media outlets for the past 3 years, what was described above is barely scratching the surface of the platform in question. The content itself, on the other hand, is certainly extraordinary in a perverse way. It's why event organizers have to take action against individuals who promote it.

>These are hardly extraordinary claims.

Then they should be easy to substantiate. I've heard about a mexican issue before, which turned out to be a statement directly addressed at the mexican cartel gang MS-13, not mexicans in general.
