Immigrants are "Human Garbage": The Fascist Donald Trump and the Republican Party's "Soft" Ethnic Cleansing

Donald Trump believes that immigrants (read: nonwhites and Muslims) are human garbage. Proving that point, Trump gave a speech to FBI graduates in Virginia last Friday, where he said this:

You think the [foreign] country is giving us their best people? No. . . . What kind of a system is that? They come in by a lottery. They give us their worst people, they put them in a bin. But in his hand when he’s picking them is really the worst of the worst. "Congratulations, you’re going to the United States, OK."

There was no outpouring of outrage or shock at these words from the American news media or the public. Trump's comments were instead met with a mix of silence and quiet rumbles of discontent. Evil is now normalized. This is how authoritarianism thrives.

Fascists use racism, nativism and ethnocentrism to win and maintain power. Trump has learned that lesson well. To cite the title of Brian Klaas' recent book on the threat Trump poses to democracy, he is the "despot's accomplice." His most recent claims that immigrants are trash who will despoil (white) America is just the latest chapter in a hate-filled epic from a man who has suggested a national registry for Muslims, wants to bar people from entire regions and countries from the United States, has proposed publicly posting the names and pictures of "illegal immigrants" who commit crimes (as the Nazis did with alleged Jewish criminals in Germany), and believes that an entire ethnic group comes to America in order to rape and kill (white) women.

Trump's screeds against people in other countries who dream of making a better life in America are a violation of the country's national creed and mythology about being an inclusive and welcoming country of immigrants. He is perhaps the first modern president to hold such values in open disdain and contempt.

1. I am watching...

a documentary on NetFlix called World War II In Color...the first episode is about the lead up
to WWII...drumph has so many mannerisms similar to Mussolini, from crossing his arms and
looking arrogantly around himself to the little circular finger thing he does all the time while
speaking...scary watching this doc because of all the fascist movement actions in those days
being replicated by drumph and the rethugs...spooky!

2. Dayum.

I will have to check that out. The similarities are frightening. Not sure that this will end well.

3. I'm really worried what's going to happen in 2020.

I'm afraid that if Trump doesn't win, the MAGATs will go nuclear. Their hatred for us runs that deep.

4. 21st century HITLER

created and made normal by ALL our media talking heads, less a few sane voices in those sold RW owned organizations who are extremely in perpetuating the con from the idiotboypotus, ryan, mcconnell. This POS called potus didn't 'win' on 66 million votes, he won because the PTB wanted this POS as potus to keep us terribly distracted while they rob the treasury and us, blind.

Trump is a violation of everything ameriKKKa used to try to attempt to stand for. I am afraid, barring a miracle, ameriKKKa is heading down the path to being just another 3rd world country led by our own Idi Amin in whiteface......

Very important read. The similarities on just how racists like trump and hitler take over a country because of an apathetic and compliant citizenry is textbook perfect.
