      It still flies over the head of a lot of republicans.

      They just don’t know that, it’s practically a direct translation of hitler’s rhetoric- and they’ve never believe it, even if you show them hitler’s massive speeches.

    Why do all of his speeches sound like they were pulled straight from the nazis?

    "Donald Trump appears to take aspects of his German background seriously. John Walter works for the Trump Organization, and when he visits Donald in his office, Ivana told a friend, he clicks his heels and says, “Heil Hitler,” possibly as a family joke.

    Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist. "

    Oh yeah, that’s why. Thanks vanity fair.

        “Let me tell you folks, I read. Big words, small words, I read all kinds of words. Hell, I’ve read thousands of words just this morning. They call me the greatest reader of all time, folks. Some of the toughest books, magazines, I read them all. Not like that fool Ron DeSatanist, I bet he hasn’t read a single book in his life. Sleepy Joe? Probably forgot how to read just like he forgot how to be president. But me, I read more than anyone in the world. I am, what some folks call, a “reader”. And that’s why, folks, you can trust me, you can donate to me, because I’m a very smart guy, because I read, you know, smart people, they read. It’s just what I do, I read. Now if you excuse me folks, I’ve gotta go start reading.”

      I mean he did all but use the phrase “blood and soil.” No surprise he’s copying off shitler’s notes.

        He’s literally Dwight from that episode where Jim teaches Dwight how to deliver a speech.

        He isn’t smart enough to know the historical paradigm of dictator’s speeches himself.

        I wanna know who his Jim is.

      I was thinking exactly the same thing and then I saw your comment. I bet even Trump can’t believe how far he has gotten basically saying the same type of crazy shit Hitler used to say. Trump is really calling to the baser instincts of a disturbingly large group of people.

      It is incredibly dangerous, and so bizarre to witness it happening again, not as a historical narrative, but in real time.

    I agree with Trump. Ever since the first European settlers came to the North America, the area has been in heavy decline. From polluting rivers to the point where they could be lit on fire, to the last president who was a fascist.

      You’re full of absolute shit, Europeans were just the peanut on the turd. Ever since proto-Asians crossed Beringia North America has gone to hell, killing the sabertooth tigers and hunting all the really fucking cool megafauna to extinction. There used to be giant sloths here, and sloths are so chill.

      No, he’s not charismatic, not that far from grave and doesn’t have any ideology or potent supporters (like officers, aristocrats).

    “ Trump is the son, and grandson, of immigrants: German on his father’s side, and Scottish on his mother’s. None of his grandparents, and only one of his parents, was born in the United States or spoke English as their mother tongue. “

    You know, he may have a point.

      Two of his three wives are immigrants. His in-laws benefited from chain migration. His third son is an anchor baby. None of his supporters are capable of recognizing these facts.

        Ha, jokes on you for thinking him and his followers think white immigrants are “immigrants”. They use that word because it’s the only acceptable one, but it’s clearly not what they are referring to.

    Trump is racist. Big fucking news. His supporters don’t care about racism. They are racists and they see racism as a good thing.

        But that’s not new either. We’ve been calling Trump a Nazi for the better part of a decade now. These idiots have spent so much time denying that patently obviously fact, it’s become part of their core identity to deny trump is a Nazi, even as he directly quotes Hitler.

    Immigration is one of the best solutions to fix rural America.

    So of course rural Americans are going to be against it.

        Plenty of space and opportunities for revitalization. All they need are people living there.

        I am 100% in favor of expanding immigration with the stipulation that additional immigrants must live in rural areas.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto

          Downvoted for this and the parent comment is upvoted for literally wanting immigrants to be segregated. Wtf is wrong with people here…

          From the wiki article: A ghetto is a part of a city in which members of a minority group live, especially as a result of political, social, legal, religious, environmental or economic pressure.

          This is what the parent comment wants, they want immigrants to be legally bound to certain areas within the country. They want immigrants bound to ghettos.

              Living in it, having a great life with my family, because I was able to afford to buy a home with land (I own several acres of land and a house), very clean air and water, no city stenches or noises.

              All of you city dwellers sound so miserable struggling to pay for life’s basic necessities and I’m out here just relaxing enjoying my contentment in the woods. I have a great job and all my needs are met, along with all the needs of my family.

              I most likely couldn’t achieve any of this except getting a “great job” in the city.
