Let’s first take a look at this laughable apology for his favourite abydocomist: “President [sic] Trump is well aware of the [denigrating] situation and his alleged [shithole] expression is nothing more than a colloquial, dictionary term in common use.” Crap, to be blunt. The Oxford dictionary offers the following definition: “An extremely dirty, shabby, or otherwise unpleasant place.” Even an ultra-extremist like Wilcox should be able to connect the meaning to Trump’s irresponsible and vulgar ejaculation. Continuing this trend Collins Dictionary offers us the following: “A very bad place; a disgusting place.” He (Wilcox) refers to this cynical demonising of an entire continent and other developing regions, and their innocent populations, as a “refreshing antidote”. By implication, and as the progeny of hard-working and honest Irish immigrants to the UK, I could be branded as originating from a family of “bog-trotters” or “thick Micks”.
Moreover, Wilcox’s unabashed stupidity even extends to this staggeringly ignorant and grossly ill-considered outburst: “The immigrants are only succeeding in converting their host countries to the standards of the countries from which they’ve escaped.” So, let me get this straight: the immigrants escape a shithole with the express intention of “converting” their host countries into exactly the same type of shithole. In other words, they want the entire developed world to become a shithole too, hence defeating the object of immigration in the first place. Like you do.
Now, the crypto-fascist rantallion Wilcox can go on throwing up his toxic bile here for as long as The Nation’s editorial staff see fit to publish it. I warn him, however, that right-minded, decent folk will be watching and ready to rebuke this fopdoodle for his usual cojones, and that of his clumsy alter-egos.
