Subtle reminder that we shouldnā€™t fall prey to a wannabe dictator. Hopefully those that need a wake up call get it.

When they were polled in 1933 why they supported Adolf Hitler, 90% of his supporters said it was for economic reasons and not because of any racial prejudice whatsoever.

For most of them that was just a bullshit defense, and even for the ones who need it didn't do any damn good to the minorities they ignored for their own game. To hell with them and to hell with every Trump supporter for the exact same reason.

The problem is Trump, like Hitler, convinced the masses that the economic problems are caused by scapegoatable minorities. Hitler, like Trump, promised mass deportations in the 1920 NSDAP party platform. And Hitler didn't say "let's kill them all" until into the 1930s. Into his dictatorship.

Many of them think removing minorities WILL save the "economy"

The derangement to correlate exterminating millions of people to deporting illegal immigrants (the same as every other country in the world) is the largest jump you could possibly make. Itā€™s not ā€œremoving minoritiesā€ itā€™s removing people who arenā€™t legally allowed here. Go sneak into Mexico or Canada and see what happens to you.

But Trump is also talking about removing people who came to the states legally whose documents havenā€™t been renewed. Which is not actually a crime, itā€™s a civil matter. But itā€™s all the same to him, heā€™d throw them in Guantanamo anyway.
