The 'America First Caucus' whose main goal is the championing 'a common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions.'
You are OLD-SCHOOL when you feel the need to specify 'whites only, and that does NOT include the Irish or the Italians!'

You know there was a time when I actually thought that given time, this sort of thing would die off. I don't mean years or decades but generations.
I just don't think it's the case anymore.

Nope, it's here to stay. And yeah, that's old school, but the only reason they let Paddy and the garlic-eaters into the YT club was to swell their ranks. Now they focus exclusively on voter suppression so they don't need to worry about the numbers anymore. .-.

Is there really any anti Irish feelings anymore? I mean it's certainly not what it used to be. I am Irish and I have never seen anyone attack me or my family in any sort of way.

Not as far as I know, but apparently they're trying to get a revival? =/

I think those feelings died out long ago. Afterall, why attack your fellow white man?

Initially, it was the same reason they'd attack Latinos and Muslims: a refugee crisis. Specifically, the Potato Famine of 1845, with millions heading for the New World out of desperation and meeting with hate from the 'Locals' (read: Colonial Decsendece), operating on the ever classic philosophy of 'forget you, got mine'.
But now, it's likely the alt-right are just getting SO xenophobic, that you don't just have to be white, you have to be AMERICAN-BORN, ETHNIC-ENGLISH (as well as cisallohet, Southern Baptist, jingoistic, and, preferably, wealthy and elderly, but that goes without saying).

Definitely like how 'Mexicans' are invading out country right now. How any 'Mexican' looking person looks illegal.

Honestly I think Irish and Italian thing is kind of reading into it a little. They say Anglo-Saxon because if they said "Asians, Blacks, and Hispanics" people would call them racist.

It crests and troughs. They get squashed, go away for a while, trade jerseys and come back again. Rise and fall, two steps forward, one step back. Maybe if the Seventh Party System is centered on socioracial issues (
as it seems to be at the moment), we might see the end of this. Or maybe not.

Probably, but the fact that the language is so openly calling back to the time before the Irish, Italian, and Slavic peoples were considered white kinda gives that away anyways. I’m kinda surprised they didn’t bring up the “pan European” talking point modern Neo-nazis like to use really.
