Allan Nairn quotes:

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are on entirely different levels.

The substantive difference between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is not really that great.

Hillary Clinton isn't that different from Obama in terms of policy.

If Donald Trump wins, it represents a rightist revolution in America.

If Trump wins, the only thing blocking complete implementation of the programs of Trump, Paul Ryan, the Koch brothers, etc., is the Senate filibuster by the Democrats.

It's illegal to be a terrorist in the United States.

If Donald Trump wins, it's a national emergency.

This is a national emergency, if Donald Trump wins.

Donald Trump has this ability to trigger. He makes that kind of gut appeal.

Donald Trump has this ability to reach out and touch the beast inside so many people.

For years, overseas, the U.S. has been willing to not only tolerate what is in effect violent fascism, but implement it in country after country after country, in Latin America, in Africa, in Asia, overthrowing elected governments and backing the rise of military dictatorships.

Whites who otherwise were able to tolerate a black president, Obama, because on certain issues he appealed to them on substance, Trump was able to reach down into some of those same people and pull out this racism inside them.

I was the Americans fair-haired boy

Some people have made the argument, well, Donald Trump is bad, but Hillary Clinton may be worse, or there's really no difference. That's insane. That's completely insane.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of guns going off, you know, guns held by white men acting as vigilantes, cops who feel more free to open fire against African Americans.

In fact, as far as one can tell, Obama seems to have killed more civilians during his first year than Bush did in his first year, and maybe even than Bush killed in his final year.

I think it's true that if Trump wins, there will be a real activist mobilization, no doubt about it.

If someone's pointing a gun at you, you get a surge of adrenaline, but it would be a lot better if they weren't pointing the gun at you in the first place.

One of the priorities of a Trump administration will be to immediately start narrowing the legal space that activists have to mobilize.

When Donald Trump attacks the trade deals, which have helped to gut the American working class, it's very powerful, even though his solutions are nonsense. And Hillary Clinton can't really defend it, because that's part of the life's work of her and her - of her and her husband.

People have a tremendous range of options of how they can behave. There's so much in people.

A lot of nonwhite people in America know what it's like to feel heat from the authorities, but, you know, all sorts of people can start to feel it now if Trump comes in.
