[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We always knew he was racist. He pushed Blacks out from his rental apartments in NYC decades ago. But in the past, the dog whistles were more subtle. Now they're full-throated eugenics and Nazi rhetoric. The comparisons to Hitler are now entirely accurate. Hitler took years to move the German people to hatred of Jews and non-whites, through a similar set of circumstances and verbal escalation. This is happening again, right now in America.

From Politico -
[b]We watched 20 Trump rallies. His racist, anti-immigrant messaging is getting darker. [/b]

A quote:

" He is no longer just talking about keeping immigrants out of the country, building a wall and banning Muslims from entering the United States. Trump now warns that migrants have already invaded, destroying the country from inside its borders, which he uses as a means to justify a second-term policy agenda that includes building massive detention camps and conducting mass deportations.

...

Vivid imagery, such as telling crowds of rally attendees that migrants will “cut your throat,” are now a staple of Trump’s speeches. He cites cases of U.S. women and girls allegedly murdered by immigrants in the country illegally, even as studies have shown that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born Americans.

But Trump says they are — because they are inherently worse people. He’s told nearly all-white crowds in the past that they have “good genes,” even before his explicit suggestion this week that non-white immigrants are genetically inferior — when he told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt that migrants have “bad genes.”

“What is so jarring to me is these are not just Nazi-like statements. These are actual Nazi sentiments,” said Robert Jones, founder of the Public Religion Research Institute, the author of “The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy” and a vocal critic of Trump’s rhetoric. “Hitler used the word vermin and rats multiple times in Mein Kampf to talk about Jews. These are not accidental or coincidental references. We have clear, 20th century historical precedent with this kind of political language, and we see where it leads.” "

His base loves this stuff. They are all onboard because they don't see it happening to them or anyone they love. [/quote]
