• Deporting illegal immigrants is literally hitler hey? Look i dont like what he stands for but perhaps it a little extreme to compare deporting illegal immigrants to murdering 6million people.

    Hitler also said a lot about how every (german) man deserves a family, land, a house, and a job which is the same thing that practically every politician ever has promised.

      Did I say illegal immigrants? He’s threatened to deport way more than that, including legal immigrants, trans kids, political opponents, and more. Deporting political opponents doesn’t even make sense unless he’s really just saying he wants to detain them. Even if it’s a lie, scapegoating minority groups is a solid fascist tactic.

      Maybe you should actually learn what happened in Germany in the years leading up to those 6 million people being murdered. It’s not like all of Germany woke up one day and voted to start gassing Jews. It started with rhetoric exactly like what’s spewing out of Trump’s mouth these days.

      Blame the ‘other’ for all your troubles. Then dehumanize the other (we are here). Then start rounding them up.

      Do we have to wait until he puts the first person in an oven to do anything about it? That’s how his supporters (you) seem to think. But we’re not stupid. Some of us actually learned from history.
