Trump goes full-on NAZI w/Nationalism support

[sheshe2]

Trump tweeted his support for Nationalism here, just about an hour ago.

This isn’t Godwin or even Godwin-esque. This is blatantly flipping to bird to the nation and everyone who has fought against NAZIs and Nationalism.

He’s not even pretending to want to hide it anymore. He’s gotta go. All of them have gotta go. And they must all face the consequences of their actions.

There *must* be consequences. Convictions, imprisonments, full exposure.

8. Everyone who hasnt seen this should watch

Hes inciting violence. Not even trying to hide it

[dewsgirl]

9. I saw your coke tweet. LOL😆

Maybe post it again?

[backtoblue]

10. LOL

Lets drink one together!

[dewsgirl]

12. Sounds great.

[sheshe2]

13. Yes, dewsgirl.

I watched it. He doesn't even try to hide what he is.

[dewsgirl]

15. It's scary, he is taking it to a new level.

[sheshe2]

18. Hate is all he has left.

He is spreading it as far and wide as he can.

[Eliot Rosewater]

28. Putin is gonna shut down our internet and power grid on election day and rump will say that

we cant count the votes so he will stay in power indefinitely.

His followers will shoot anyone who tries to oppose the fascist takeover, what I dont know is what our military will do.

Understand he is NOT going away voluntarily.

[sheshe2]

35. Sorry, Eliot.

I refuse to live in fear and without hope. If I did I would curl into a tight ball and die.

[Eliot Rosewater]

38. My reason for saying these things is so we will at least CONSIDER that they could

happen so we can be PREPARED.

Not to live in fear, but to warn people that our usual ways of resolving things will not work with these fascists.

But I take your point...this is how I talk about everything as a way to WARN people...

[Anon-C]

55. It is without sarcasm that I say...

...your concern is noted!

[Eliot Rosewater]

59. Yes, for instance if we went back 4 years and said our president in 4 yrs

would be working for Putin and torturing children, nobody would believe it.

[LiberalLoner]

49. +1 this is what scares me, too.

[Initech]

5. You might as well slap our veterans in the face directly and get it over with.

This is a colossal insult to all who fought against this sort of thing.

[SammyWinstonJack]

34. Right? He's a disgrace! And so are his deplorables, even more so.

[BuffaloJackalope]

6. Sieg Heil, y'all

[rzemanfl]

7. Who here remembers the flak Eisenhower caught for saying

"have a Coke?" I do. My father, a World War II draftee infantry sergeant, used to say, "If someone like Hitler tried to take over here, he would find plenty of people to work for him." I now see how right he was.

[dewsgirl]

16. Yikes.

[demigoddess]

22. my father fought in WWII nd Korea, My uncle fought in WWII

they are rolling over in their graves today.

[True Blue American]

23. Same here

And my dad was a Republican. He would despise Trump and his cult..

[moonscape]

36. My parents were in hiding during WWII and escaped

Eastern Europe at the end of the war to come to the US.

I'm glad they didn't have to witness this ...

[moondust]

11. Tweeted on the same day

that German President Steinmeier takes a veiled swipe at him to reject "national egoism" during the 30-year commemoration of the Berlin Wall coming down. Even Ronald Reagan would be embarrassed.

So there’s bound to be unbiased reviews on Fox & Fiends.

52. Rich Lowry is a pathetic hack.

When we lived in CA, he was the spokesman for the governor, squeaky Pete Wilson. He was a repulsive little maggot then. I see nothing has changed.

[Kid Berwyn]

58. To flack for Pete Wilson, ugh.

Explains why Wm. F. Buckley selected him for National Review (2nd place among intern applicant essayists). The guy Lowry is a professional disinformationist, an apologist for fascism.

Thank you, Haggis for Breakfast! I searched for a bio, but the key service to the Ronnie Raygun wannabe was omitted. California took a long time to recover from Wilson and the GOP’s damage. But it gives us hope that if the nation follows its example, we can recover from the demented dicktater currently in the Oval Office.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

60. I was living in CA at the time Squeaky Pete was in office.

He also PROMISED the citizens of CA that once re-elected, he would NOT drop his responsibilities and run for president. LIAR.

17. Trump could just as easily have used the word "Patriotism," but he had to go for the dog whistle

Last edited Sat Nov 9, 2019, 08:13 PM - Edit history (1)

The definition of Patriotism: "devotion to and vigorous support for one's country."

The Definition of Nationalism: "identification with one's own nation and support for its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations"

What Trump really means is "white nationalism" since he and his followers especially support "the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other" races, religions, certain ethnic groups, etc.

20. The recent post, politics is morality, comes to mind. GOP needs to fess up to their politics

Reflecting their morals, ethics.

[NRaleighLiberal]

24. Rich Lowry. Only the best people.

[Aussie105]

25. Trump is getting desperate.

He is appealing to the only groups that he feels will back him up. The bikers, the Nazis.
Trump thinks these are powerful groups that will back him up, whereas they are fringe groups that have little power.

Trump's biggest group of supporters in fact are the brainless sheep in the GOP, the cashed up people who benefitted from his tax cuts, the glued on voters, the people who think he will still deliver on his promises. But their enthusiasm is fading slowly.

One day, he will be without support, and face the consequences of his twisted, incompetent mind.

Which is a good thing.

26. He's touting a racist book. Excerpt from review in Foreign Affairs

https://www.foreignaffairs.com/reviews/review-essay/2019-11-07/americas-original-identity-politics

The people who preceded the English settlers were either few and far between or benefitted from the arrival of these newcomers. There was “basically no one in California to have a popular will” when white pioneers arrived, Lowry writes [...]

The more “underhanded and brutish” episodes in U.S. history, such as the near eradication of Native Americans, were cosmically necessary, since they paved the way for the “stupendous boon” brought by continental expansion.

That is so stupidly ignorant of history, and in a racist way. Ethnic cleansing and genocide benefitted them? Not the world I live in.

The problem with nationalism, the British historian Eric Hobsbawm once wrote, is that it requires too much belief in what isn’t so. Lowry’s claims rest on a maddening evasiveness when it comes to definitions. At times he uses the word “nation” to refer to a social group. At other times the word stands for a sovereign country

Few of Lowry’s statements would pass muster with historians who have been to an archive or tried to write about the past in ways that admit complexity. “Ancient Egypt constituted a unified state, ruling an ethnically homogeneous people with a distinct culture, for thousands of years,” he claims. “The same was true of China, Korea, and Japan.” Sweeping assertions like these are legion, and to any serious thinker they should be an embarrassment. A society might have an identifiable high culture, or a dominant language of trade or governance, or characteristic art forms in particular historical periods. But to claim homogeneity, much less “ethnic” sameness, for millennia is thoughtless sloganeering.

Women are almost entirely absent from Lowry’s national past and present. By my count, fewer than a dozen or so women merit a mention in his book: Queen Elizabeth I and Joan of Arc are among them, along with a bevy of current-day intellectuals such as Amy Gutmann and Martha Nussbaum, who are there to be argued against. When he uses the term “we,” it almost always refers to white people of Anglo-Saxon heritage, or at least people who are not Native Americans, Latinx, or recent immigrants.

[Kurt V.]

29. thanks. That's well worth the read.

[bullwinkle428]

57. Morning Joe was pimping his book with an interview segment the other day.

[warmfeet]

27. I agree. We need consequences.

Impeach, convict, remove, imprision.

Our form of governance will not survive anything less.

I prefer Democracy to oligarchy or dictatorship.

30. Don't forget...

to add theocracy to that list, Christian Nationalism lurks in the shadows.

[LuvNewcastle]

37. They're both creepy as hell and they deserve each other.

And if I'm not mistaken, she became a Jew in order to marry Jared because he's Orthodox, I think. So Trump has a Jewish daughter and she'll have Jewish grandchildren. How can they support Trump now? Isn't he tainted?

Jared is tolerated/loved as long as he is useful.
When his usefulness expires, it will become: 'Blame the Jew'.

(and that will be from our own right wingers, not so much from the rest of the world)

Trump had to tell Breitbart to knock off the propaganda against Jewish Jared.

[LuvNewcastle]

43. Interesting article.

Trump's goal is to divide the country. If he can do it by supporting Nazis, that's just what he'll do. Then he'll go kiss Netanyahu's ass. He's so transparent, but his supporters refuse to see anything about him that doesn't fit their narrative. It's like we have 30-40% of Americans in a mass psychosis. I never would have thought it would be so easy to enthrall so many people at once, but I can't ignore the evidence. And he's not even a good speaker; he makes no sense when he talks unless he's lying. These are ludicrous and farcical times.

[ismnotwasm]

32. That disgusting piece of shit.

And his defenders, especially his defenders, will rot in their well deserved place in history as how not to be decent people. All of them, in their millions.

[Grokenstein]

33. I understand there's a different book coming out in Germany

"The Case Against Nationalism: How It Turned The World Against Us And Got Us Fucking Annihilated."

[VOX]

39. So Dinesh D'Souza's "The Big Lie: Exposing the NAZI Roots of the American Left" is a BIGGER LIE?

Just when MAGAts “think” they know which direction to run, 45 gives them a conflicting message.

More from the right-wing projection department:
-Liberals were brutal slave owners, Nazis, and now favor Sharia law, gun-grabbing, sodomy and “Happy Holidays.”

-Meanwhile, right-wing white Christianists are fighting ”evil” on all sides: immigrants, POC, LBGTQ. Democrats who are socialists, Marxists, statists, communists, America-hating, baby-killing, satanic heathens. All you need to be a MAGAt is a complete, unquestioning loyalty to the Fuhrer Trump, nationalism ”uber alles,” and a realization that being a warrior for Christ means victory by any means necessary. NOW, who’s the Nazi again?

[keithbvadu2]

41. unquestioning loyalty

Oath of Allegiance - Pre and post 1934
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/the-fuehrer-oath

(before August 2, 1934)
"I swear by almighty God this sacred oath:
I will at all times loyally and honestly
serve my people and country
and, as a brave soldier,
I will be ready at any time
to stake my life for this oath."

The Fuehrer Oath
(effective August 2, 1934)
"I swear by almighty God this sacred oath:
I will render unconditional obedience
to the Fuehrer of the German Reich and people, Adolf Hitler,
Supreme Commander of the Wehrmacht,
and, as a brave soldier,
I will be ready at any time
to stake my life for this oath."

[VOX]

54. The parallels to 1930s Germany are sobering.

The cult behavior, the nationalism, elevating one man over party, and elevating party over country (with the assist of a 24/7 state propaganda outlet), the continuous stoking of hatred for “the other,” the increasing violence against non-Christians and POC, the subjugation of women and reproductive rights...

Will Americans save themselves from themselves? Are they up to it?

[mcar]

42. On Veterans Day weekend

[sheshe2]

44. Yes.

What better way to honor the vets... by honoring the Nazi/Nationalists. The vets fought against the very ones tRump praises as our future.

Dons supporters are not just a cult. They are certifiable.

[mcar]

45. I have no doubt that many would literally drink the Kool Aid

[sheshe2]

48. Bon Chance.

May they all be raptured...to hell.

46. On the 81st anniversary of Kristallnacht!

Never Forget Nazi Kristallnacht, Nov. 9-10, 1938, The 'Night of Broken Glass'

Kristallnacht began today (11/09/1938). A precursor of things to come.

Senator introduces Kristallnacht memorial resolution condemning anti-Semitism

27 Jews On What It Feels Like To Be Afraid For Their Lives

[sheshe2]

47. The night of broken glass.

81 years ago today.

In 48 hours, 267 synagogues were destroyed and over 7,000 Jewish shops were damaged. 91 Jews died and 30,000 Jewish men were detained and later deported to concentration camps.

I wonder who in his admin suggested his praise of a Nazi book today of all days.

I am sorry, BtA.

50. Stephen Nazi Miller is always whispering in traitor Trump's ear

[sheshe2]

51. Yep.

Figured it would be him.

POS!

53. Can you imagine the self-loathing Stephen Miller has for himself ?

It must be epic.
