GOP slouches into the Crazy -IMMIGRATION | Trump Firehose of anti-immigrant posts and rhetoric

[Patb78]

Any other history buffs recognize this propaganda? Still deny the comparisons exist?

Those do look like Nazi posters about the Jews.

Just got done reading Rick Perlstein’s book on Barry Goldwater a few months back. 100% these ideas have always been with us. The job of conservatives is to repackage arguments that they’ve been using since the French Revolution. Their job is to make economic privilege popular in an ostensibly democratic system.

I'm halfway through it... and have been for going on two years now... just got so damn depressing seeing the same story repeated again in real time that you're reading about from the past century. I'm convinced one day I'm going to finish it... One day...

Who could have predicted this way back on page 22? So he's sending in troopers rather than calling up the Guard, but still.....

I would not be surprised if DeWine brings in the National Guard to protect the schools and municipal buildings in Springfield. These GOP folks talk about Springfield like it is some isolated West Virginia downtrodden community. It is a suburb of Dayton (30 minute drive) and is 45 minutes west of Columbus. The Haitians are in Springfield because jobs were available, jobs the locals weren't interested in. The employers in town are happy to have them. They are in the country legally and are working (and paying taxes) legally.

those are nazi posters. vance didn't actually post them, they're just superimposed below his words for comparison's sake.

There's a Nazareth, PA, too.

I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead.. (and yes, Nazareth PA is the town referred to in that lyric)...

His rhetoric matches the posters.

Admittedly, I listened to it on Audible. I don’t absorb as much info doing that, but it allowed me to get through it at least lol. Depressing but good info about how we got to where we are today.

JD Vance —> calling out intentional disinformation and political propaganda is the same thing as political violence

 

[Ddseddse]

I honestly find the voter intimidation less alarming than the dehumanizing (i.e. "locust") language deployed against immigrants. That's full on undiluted Nazi stuff right there.

More than half of Trump voters believe Haitians are eating pets: poll

Officials have discredited the claims made by Donald Trump at last week's presidential debate.

Sooooo, the bomb threats ARENT hoaxes, they actually happened. WHO is doing them may be at dispute, but they actually occurred and would not have happened without this rhetoric about eating pets.

MAGA wants people to stop telling the truth about Trump and what he and the supporters are all about because they're scared decent people might not like them.

I’m not understanding the Pub talking point here. Pretty much all bomb threats are hoaxes, and regardless of where these are coming from, they wouldn’t be happening without Trump and Vance demonizing Haitian residents of Springfield. So what’s the reason for an apology?

Yeah, and "It's not my American supporters doing it, it's my Russian supporters doing state sponsored terror against everyday Americans in order to help my electoral chances!", is maybe, just maybe, not the defense you think it is?

For the record, Mueller did not drop the case because the Russian company showed up to defend itself. He litigated against the Russian company in secret, with sealed files, and we don't know exactly what happened. But I find it very hard to believe that the court refused to enforce the subpoena. It's far more likely that the subpoena challenge introduced delays, and if the subpoena litigation was still out there, it was dropped when the Mueller investigation was closed.

This is how you tone it down. Start around the 25 second mark
