http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/9/29/1575870/-Shocking-video-of-Trump-explaining-his-dangerous-theory-that-people-like-him-have-superior-genesPBS and The Huffington Post have uncovered video evidence of Donald Trumps long-held beliefs that he (and people like him) are genetically superior:
The Frontline documentary The Choice, which premiered this week on PBS, reveals that Trump agrees with the dangerous and abusive theory of eugenics.
Trumps father instilled in him the idea that their familys success was genetic, according to Trump biographer Michael DAntonio.
The family subscribes to a racehorse theory of human development, DAntonio says in the documentary. They believe that there are superior people and that if you put together the genes of a superior woman and a superior man, you get a superior offspring.
There is also a video clip of Trump's various comments about the issue. He honestly believes he is somehow superior because of his 'genes'.
This guy is absolutely terrifying!!

(9,118 posts)1. Snap goes another pilar of the Religious Right's Bogus Moral Superiority
One of the reasons that the Religious Right demonizes Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood today is because of their purported support of eugenics 90 years ago.
The Religious Right makes a big deal of opposing abortion for eugenic reasons today.
So naturally they're all-in for Donald Trump.
Go figure.

It's not about the strongest.
So many fascists think that's what it means.
