Context #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianBrendanFischer, #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianVictoriaCadostin "The group, called Citizens for Sanity, formed in mid-2022, and quickly drew attention as it flooded the airwaves in battleground states and swing districts with deeply offensive and often misleading ads. Some ads targeted LGBTQ+ rights and attacked 'Biden and his radical allies' for supporting 'the woke left's war on girls' sports' and the 'woke war on our children'. Others pictured Latino immigrants and characterized them as criminals 'draining your paychecks, wrecking your schools, ruining your hospitals [and] threatening your family', declaring that 'Joe Biden and the Democrats have erased our southern border'... Another ad declares that equity is 'leftwing code for whites and Asians not welcome'. The group asserts that 'Democrats used to care about the middle class, now they just care about your race and your gender.'" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/17/trump-citizens-sanity-election-ads #2022_ #IdentityLGBTQIA #TauntLeftThe #IdentityClassBlueCollarWhite
Supplementary "The terms DEI and EDI might look similar, but the order of the words holds significant meaning. DEI places diversity first, often focusing on bringing different people into the organisation. While this is important, it can sometimes overlook the need for equity--ensuring that all employees, regardless of their background, have equal opportunities to succeed. EDI, on the other hand, prioritises equity first. By addressing systemic inequalities and ensuring fair treatment, EDI lays the foundation for a genuinely inclusive workplace where diversity can thrive."

If it was current and controversial in US politics, chances are that Kirk was talking about it. On his podcasts, and on the podcasts of friends and adversaries, and especially on college campuses, where he would go to debate students, Kirk spent much of his adult life defending and articulating a worldview aligned with Trump and the Maga movement. Accountable to no one but his audience, he did not shy away in his rhetoric from bigotry, intolerance, exclusion and stereotyping." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/11/charlie-kirk-quotes-beliefs #2025_ #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #ConspiracyTheory_GreatReplacement #PleaMAGA #PhenomnBigotry #PhenomnPolemic

Supplementary "[Shamira] Ibrahim pointed out that in addition to re-waging the war on political correctness that dominated the 1990s by repackaging it as a war on cancel culture, right-wing conservatives have also 'attempted to launch the same rhetorical battles' across numerous fronts, attempting to rebrand the same calls for accountability and consequences as 'woke brigade, digital lynch mobs, outrage culture and call-out culture.'

And a key spokesperson for the group stood for Reform this February. Bartlett is the admin, alongside a handful of others, of 'Taking Back Our Country', a Facebook group which organises nationalist and anti-migrant protests in Dorset." https://bylinetimes.com/2025/08/14/founders-of-apolitical-patrol-group-in-bournemouth-include-asylum-hotel-activist-and-reform-candidate/ #PhenomnImmigrationRefugeeAsylumAccommodation #EDUUKUniversityOfOxfordCentreOnMigrationPolicyAndSocietyCOMPASTheMigrationObservatory https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/asylum-accommodation-in-the-uk/ #OrgClassifPPUKTheBrexitPartyReformUK #HandleFacebookTakingBackOurCountry #IRLBusinesspersonGaryBartlett

#NewspaperUKBrdshtBylineTimesNicolaKelly and #NewspaperUKBrdshtBylineTimesOllyHaynes [Muckrack] "The 'Raise the Colours' flag-raising campaign, which claims to be a 'grassroots' campaign for 'unity' and has drawn the support of mainstream political parties and widespread coverage in the British media, has pivoted to stabbing through dinghies and harassing and racially abusing migrants and aid workers in the camps of Northern France ... UKIP leader Nick Tenconi has also been seen in the camps targeting migrants. In one video, Tenconi is seen proclaiming: 'Northern France is now British territory!' Approaching a group in Calais, he shouted: 'You are not welcome in Britain', and asked if they were 'planning to come to Britain illegally.' Individuals acting alone have also been seen in the camps and on the beaches of northern France, including activists with large followings such as 'Ross the Don'. Charity workers say that the number of British far right groups attempting to harass and intimidate migrants and aid workers has increased since the signing of the UK-France 'one in, one out' deal." https://bylinetimes.com/2025/12/18/raise-the-colours-flags-campaign-nigel-farage-migrants-aid-workers-on-french-beaches/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJw0CuQc3Kg #OrgClassifPPUKIndependencePartyUKIPNickTenconi #OrgSyndicateAccordGrassrootsMovement #BeliefTheismChristianityForgivenessMercy #IRLPrivateCitizenRossChildsAKARossTheDon [forum] [tweet] #BeliefTheismChristianityCrucifix #MetaphorWarfareBattleCapitulateSurrender [tweet]

@IndiaMaruszewski [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : President Lyndon B Johnson (D), hailed as a champion for the black community by the US media. Here’s a couple quotes by LBJ It’s one thing to be shit on as a race, it’s another thing to support the ones shitting on you #BLM #Woke #Trump2020 #WWG1WGA #WWG1WGAWORLDWIDE #REDWAVE [URL redacted]
#WebsiteSnopes "A viral quote circulating since the 1990s attributes the following statement to Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th President of the United States: 'I'll have those niggers voting Democratic for 200 years'... We don't have a high degree of confidence that he actually said it, however." [fact-checked] #1965_VotingRightsAct
"These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference." [commentary] "To be fair, historians point out that sometimes -- as in the case above, presumably -- Johnson's more bigotry-laden statements were calculated to achieve a specific end, such as convincing his pro-segregation Dixiecrat colleagues that it was in their best interests to support civil rights legislation."

Addendum "uppityness" in this context somewhat alludes to #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryNat "The Nat caricature portrays African and African American males as angry, crazed, revengeful brutes with a bloodthirsty hatred for white people. Like many anti-black caricatures, the Nat portrayal was popularized during American slavery.... 'Nat was the rebel who rivaled Sambo in the universality and continuity of his literary image. Revengeful, bloodthirsty, cunning, treacherous, and savage, Nat was the ravager of white women who defied all the rules of plantation society. Subdued and punished only when overcome by superior numbers of firepower, Nat retaliated when attacked by whites, led guerrilla activities of maroons against isolated plantations, killed overseers and planters, or burned plantation buildings when he was abused...
