There is a grand total of 0 Trump voters out there right now saying “wow maybe I shouldn’t vote for Trump because he sounds like Hitler.”
It’s part of his appeal
“It’s so bad, and people are coming in with disease,” Trump said at the time. “People are coming in with every possible thing that you could have.
Take the gloves off, “Trump parrots Nazi slogans because he is a Nazi. We are living the rebirth of a nightmare. Only we can prevent this hatred for good and decency from consuming the country. There is very little time left so we must work hard….”
It’s long overdue that accurate language is used to describe crimey donald’s anti-American fascist behavior.
It’s about dehumanization.
That’s sort of his specialty.
“It doesn’t echo ‘Mein Kampf,’ this is textbook ‘Mein Kampf,’”
It’s weird a man of German ancestry who’s family didn’t come over till the 1900s can be this anti immigration. He knows he isn’t exactly Mayflower material himself right?
The problem is not just Trump but the entire Republican party apparatus.
The idiot media will somehow both sides this.
I suppose I am one of the “vermin” he speaks of, as I am a radical leftist who also admires the writings of Marx. I wonder if my Trump supporting family members support me being “rooted out” and “gotten rid of…”
American conservatives have fearmongered about imaginary FEMA camps, death panels, and the like for decades.
It’s always projection with them.
Never going to NOT upvote this. Trump is a fascist. Never forget this. It’s all laid bare now. For all eyes to see.
Trump ‘fraid… angry fraid.
I’m reminded of the ‘cockroach’ remarks leading up to the Rwandan genocide too.
>The Nazis adopted the term for their propaganda against the Jewish, communist, and later the foreign press. In 1922 Adolf Hitler used the accusation of the “lying press” for the Marxist press.[6] In the Mein Kampf chapter on war propaganda, he described what he saw as the extraordinary effect of enemy propaganda in the First World War. He criticized German propaganda as ineffective and called for ‘better’ propaganda, which, allegedly like that of the English, French or Americans, was to be oriented towards psychological effectiveness.[7] Accusations of “lying” against domestic journalism can be found in his speeches, for example against the “social democratic press”, Jewish liberals, etc.[8]
It’s a really bad sign when an American President reads Mein Kampf but won’t even look at the United States Constitution.
We’re in trouble
I’ve seen a lot of false equivalencies regarding this comment, comparing it to when Hillary called a certain percent of trump supporters “deplorables.”
There’s two major differences, one being that Hillary called out a specific faction of trump supporters (referring to the ones that are racist, sexist, and unwilling to change their minds), whereas Trump vaguely refers to everyone who opposes him. The second major difference being that Hillary didn’t use it to “get even” with the other group to justify “going after them” in any way. Whereas that’s the entire point of Trump calling those who oppose him vermin. The whole point is to get leverage when the playing field is already even. To justify silencing and disqualifying those who oppose him. His enemies are somehow laughably weak vermin while at the same time infinitely powerful, omnipotent even!
Yeah we know…focus on the Mullin senate fight to see where this is ramping up to ASAP. Trump gonna get them killed.
Make America Great Again is the same messaging used by Hitler. The speech in 1933 was about making Germany great again.
How many times has a right wing group used a Hitler quote, then get called out on it?
We need a running list…
I feel like Trump is aware of how Hitler came to power but is unaware of how he left it.
Weird how Republicans consistently “accidentally” use Nazi phrasing or quotes or imagery.
Where’s the ad that shows hitler and his speech and then trump and his speech?
Would that have the opposite effect on Americans? Are Americans ok with Nazi rhetoric?or is the media normalizing it cuz the nazi effect produces ad clicks and revenue?
Someone hit me with both sides recently I asked them whose side the nazis are on.
The Hill shouldn’t be reporting that Biden said it – they should be able to say it themselves. Our media’s inability to make objective judgments is far and away the biggest erosion of our public sensibilities that’s occurred over the last 30 years.
“But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That’s the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked—if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in ’43 had come immediately after the ‘German Firm’ stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in ’33. But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.
“And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying ‘Jewish swine,’ collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in—your nation, your people—is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way.”

Omg but Biden is a whole three years older. Such a difficult decision.
Our people are fucking morons – at best.
**Boom**. There it is. Even Biden gets it.
I think we’re way past the Nazi references. It’s time for an arrest to be made.
I mean so did the whole “fake news” thing. Just look up “[Lügenpresse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lying_press)”. Here’s a snip from Wikipedia:
>The Nazis adopted the term for their propaganda against the Jewish, communist, and later the foreign press. In 1922 Adolf Hitler used the accusation of the “lying press” for the Marxist press.[6] In the Mein Kampf chapter on war propaganda, he described what he saw as the extraordinary effect of enemy propaganda in the First World War.
