Trump Admin borrows from Nazi, Soviet, Fascist Propaganda

[Patb78]

My wife and I were discussing this this morning - maybe it's a veiled shot at vegetarians and vegans who don't eat meat?

Why not? Everyone knows there’s nothing more American when it comes to food than cooking huge ribeye steaks on the grill. Then washing them down with about half a case of PBR’s.

Thank goodness this administration continues to clamp down on antisemitism.

Yeah, that's my assumption as well, especially related to red meat. It's just so stupid and contrived like all the other "wars" Pubs are always bitching about.

To many Trump supporters, our bringing up the Nazi style propaganda is proof of our TDS.

The Trump administration clearly uses fascist/racist/other awful language/imagery/propaganda, etc., we point out how it is racist/fascist/etc. and then they accuse us of using violent rhetoric.

The thing is that Trump didn't turn these people fascist/racist, etc. They already were that way. He has given them reason to be open about it.

We can hope, of course, that they have pushed too far to turn enough people off. But we also should realize that there are more than we care to admit for whom the administration cannot push far enough.

Democrats need to create ads flipping back and forth between the Nazi and current slogans. Then tie the Republican who the ad is targeting to this.

If they don’t do that then it will be a missed opportunity.

Note the retweeter…

Snopes and others are reporting that there is no record of that quote being used by Nazis.

yeah, i saw that. accuracy is important on these things.

the quote is still ridiculous and inflammatory and inappropriate and clearly a reference to collective punishment which the nazis were notorious for committing.

Delete then. I posted it more to show the “radical Americanism” of Joyce Carol Oates.

My guess is that is part of it, the other is that over the last few decades there's been a push from "health officials" to stress eating fruits and (especially) veggies as a larger part of the typical diet and to reduce the size of the meat portion within a typical meal. I'm guessing Trump & Co know that this annoys a lot of MAGA and they're pushing back on it as with a lot of other silly issues.

Thought provoking … though they don’t delve into Trump’s own rhetoric in the article, this is another branch of 19th Century and early 20th Century thought (like Manifest Destiny/the Monroe Doctrine) that Trump seems to embrace. He fairly regularly cites the value of “good genes”.

There are plenty of poems, there are plenty of songs, there are plenty of books with the same title … the fact that people want to cherry pick” to tie DHS to white nationalism, well it’s no wonder we see such vast, rampant assaults against law enforcement, it’s no wonder Noem is facing so many threats against her life
