Tell me you want a race war without telling me you want a race war.
“I’m just asking a very simple question. If you’re not an American, that’s fine. Go back to your place of origin. I’m not going to hurt you. I’m not going to harm you. I’m not going to imprison you. Just go back. Hasta la vista.”
The natural leap for his listeners is that if those people don’t go back where they came from, then they should be hurt. They should be harmed. Then he throws in a “hasta la vista” at the end. Hearing that come out of a white guy’s mouth always makes me think of Terminator 2.
I very much doubt his fans socialize with any Spanish speakers, not that the phrase is in common usage by Spanish speakers from what I understand. So that movie is probably the first thing to pop into his audience’s heads too when they hear the phrase.
Kirk rants about people he considers non-Americans, rants about them not speaking in English, says he won’t hurt those people if they leave the USA (which automatically implies he will hurt them if they don’t), then throws in a non-English phrase that his audience will almost certainly associate with a killing machine. Sure sounds like stochastic terrorism to me.
