“Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from, and we know they come from prisons. We know they come from mental institutions and insane asylums. We know they’re terrorists. Nobody has ever seen anything like we’re witnessing right now. It is a very sad thing for our country. It’s poisoning the blood of our country.”
From the article:
Laura Barrón-López, White House correspondent for PBS, told viewers last night, “I checked with a historian, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, and she said that language that he’s using ... echoes language used in Nazi propaganda by Adolf Hitler when Adolf Hitler actually said that Jewish people and migrants were ‘causing a blood poisoning’ of Germany.”
Additional site reporting the same (in an interview):
And he almost crossed the line this time! Don't worry, they've already moved the line 10 yard back to give him some extra space to push the envelope further.
Yes, he is pushing the envelope now. And in the past. And in the future. Asking Donald Trump to not be a trash fire is like asking gravity to suddenly reverse. It ain't happening.
Donald Trump, second generation German immigrant, who has lived within sight of Lady Liberty most of his life, what an embarrassment, not only to Americans, but specifically New Yorkers, one of the most mixed melting pots of a city in the entire world. What a racist idiot, especially when you consider the fact that south and central Americans were here before white people, so if anybody is diluting America's blood line, it's white motherfuckers like myself and Donald Trump.
I can't really comprehend how evangelical Christians find this man to be at all acceptable. In fact, he's treated as some sort of savior. Major disconnect.
Evangelical's whole platform is divine authority to rule. It ties right in with colonialism, white supremacy, and fascism. "I'm right 'cause I say my god said so". But I also believe that most Christian's today would crucify Christ all over again as a communist.
It's easy when you understand that their moral framework is actually completely hollow, and their independent moral intuition is completely atrophied to the point that they are unable to conduct even basic moral synthesis.
Religion, as we know it, has always been a framework for social control and cooperation. The morality bits have always served this end, so it's not really surprising that in our modern context they just dispense with any moral pretenses as soon as they are in obvious conflict with their power aspirations.
I think this is a group of people who identify with being told what to believe by strong personalities who take strong positions.
Doesn't matter what they are told, that's not the point. It's the freedom from being asked to think, which if you consider it for a while, is a heavy burden removed.
When a reporter asked how his five children were doing, the former president loudly exclaimed:
“Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from, and we know they come from prisons. We know they come from mental institutions and insane asylums. We know they’re terrorists. Nobody has ever seen anything like we’re witnessing right now. It is a very sad thing for our country. It’s poisoning the blood of our country.”
This azzclown is becoming more of a NPC from Wolfenstein every freaking day. He won’t spill blood himself but trust and believe he’ll be furthest in the rear slopping it all up.
