frightening. >> that's because contrary to what we heard a moment ago, this appeal is not empowering white americans. i don't know when white americans became disempowered, so that's an interesting phraseology. this is not about empowering white americans, this is about appealing to white american fears, as the member memorably shouted during barack obama's first term saying, i lose my country. i want my country back. where we had all the positions of power, we made all the decisions, we were the ones in charge, we were in control. i don't like the fact that these muslims, these gays, these african-americans, these people brown-skinned are suddenly more prominent and suddenly doing more in the public eye. i want my country back. this is not an appeal to empowerment, this is an appeal to fear. this is an appeal to the sense of loss of demographic primacy.
