Trump takes a page out of "Mein Kampf"

Be scared, because you should be.

I've been saying for a while now that the backlash is gonna hurt for Dems...really bad.

Having ordinary Black democrats switch over to Republican in a city like Chicago is just the first salvo.

Okay. So you meant regular citizens -- not politicians.

What are the actual numbers to the situation you describe. My guess is that your point is yet another MAGA exaggeration.

I always appreciate the typically nice, civil language from MAGA/Republicans when referencing their opponents. Republicans and MAGA don't have to resort to venomous name calling because their arguments are always so reasonable. /s

We are primarily discussing Trump's bigotry rhetoric in this thread, which is supported by his MAGA followers.

Metaphors are non existent when a non Dem speaks.

Remember when Sarah Palin caught hell for the “target” graphics on the map of congressional districts that needed to be targeted by Repubs?

Double standards and duplicitous bullshit continues in the media.

Btw, ask the Europeans how multiculturalism is working out for them………

Don't understand your point.

Please link instances of Democrats using bigoted rhetoric and/or inciting violence.

You "think," or do you actually know?


If you have a verifiable source for this statistic, please link it, because I have read that most immigrants are trying to get work permits, but the process is long and involved.

By the way, what is the MAGA position on immigrants seeking work permits?



It's great that the immigrants have shelter -- would you rather that they live on the streets?


However, what percentage of those numbers are just homeless US citizens? Please link the source of your statistics.



Well, if that is so, it's a good idea to keep them off of the streets and to educate them. Again, what percentage is just homeless US citizens? Please link your info sources.



Again, please link your information source.



Info source?



No. Not even metaphorically.

They might be using resources along with homeless US citizens, but they are not "poisoning the blood" of Americans in any sense.

Trump and MAGA is just bigoted, and that is all there is to it.

Furthermore, Trump is using such bigoted rhetoric in an attempt to become a dictator, just like all of the other autocrats he admires.

Friendly reminder -- most US citizens are descendants of immigrants.

This dude above lumps legal and illegal immigrants together by just calling them all "immigrants"

You're not fooling anyone.

You can continue to paint people who oppose ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION as "little Hitlers in training"...and it might have worked years ago...but more and more people these days are wise to your grift.

This gaslighting just doesn't quite pack the punch it used to...I suggest a new playbook going forward.

Maxine Waters telling people to confront Trump cabinet members in public and draw a crowd telling them they're not welcome in public places qualifies.

Mad Max was not promoting peace and harmony.

Please point out where Schumer used bigoted rhetoric or incited violence.

Not that it matters, but Trump did NOT make that distinction in his speech.

Furthermore, please point out how EXACTLY how "illegal" immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country," and please differentiate them in that regard from "legal" immigrants.

Not trying to "fool" anyone -- just pointing out the flaws and blatant bigotry in MAGA reasoning (or the lack of reasoning thereof).

Wow! You have created an elaborate fantasy scenario about my past.

No, I have not tried to "grift" people years ago, and I am not now arguing that people who oppose illegal immigration are "Hitlers" or bigoted.

I am saying that when a politician refers to immigrants with phrases such as "poisoning the blood of our country" (and who also refers to his opponents with terms such as "vermin"), that politician is mirroring Hitler and others tyrants like him who slur/vilify scapegoats to manipulate followers. I will also add now that, after hearing Trumps bigoted statements, those people who continue to support and enable such a scapegoating politician are analogous to Hitler's supporters.

Not sure if one of us has a reading comprehension problem, but if you review my post (which you quoted), I asked for FACTUAL statistics and numbers.

Furthermore, the video that you linked doesn't give any numbers and apparently cherry picks footage and one sound bite from a single event.

So, until someone can come up with the actual numbers, there is not much to discuss, and any statement on the facts is likely inaccurate or, in the case of MAGA arguments, an exaggeration.

Agreed. That's definitely unacceptable for a public figure.

Now to clarify, Maxine Waters was encouraging direct confrontation (not good) which could cause violence, but she didn't use bigoted rhetoric.

On the other hand, Trump encourages confrontation and also uses bigoted, scapegoating rhetoric -- but he was a US president and he is now running to be US president. He is not qualified for the office.

You're probably right. Trump should have referred to his opponents and anyone who voted for them as "deplorables".
