Pay attention. Learn from history. Don’t let this man anywhere near the White House ever again.

@georgetakei

Agreed! Teh man is a moron.

@freemo @georgetakei even worse, he is a fascist.

@prefec2

I'd rather have a moron that is fascist (Trump) than a smart person that is fascist I guess :)

@georgetakei

@freemo @georgetakei I might be a little biased, but we (Germany) tried the moron fascist out. He was even in prison, but later he got into power. Partly conservatives thought they could control him. So I'd rather not see one of them in power again. In this case, there would not be a US to save the world from tyranny.

@prefec2

Im not sure Hitler was an idiot. Im not sure if he was super smart either. Its hard to tell when its just reciting speaches in another language. I just cant judge his intelligence.

@georgetakei

@freemo @georgetakei This is hard to tell, but he certainly though of himself as a superior intellect whereas his book is rather an unstructured read. History usually does not repeat itself, but similar processes lead to similar results. Even with no war, there could be a lot of murder. Let's say, I'd rather not have to find out what happens when he becomes president again.
@freemo I'm not sure it really makes much difference. If someone is out to kill you, they can sure be dangerous without being smart. Not to mention he's an enabler of all sorts.
@krnlg I mean, yea, if they are trying to kill you (fascism doesnt mean killing but lets go with it) then yea, thats bad enough already... But if i am trying to not be killed by someone Id rather than someone be an idiot :)
@freemo I guess I just don't feel optimistic.
@krnlg At this point I think we all have.

@georgetakei I've noticed that his fans are still insistent that he "only has a problem with ILLEGAL immigrants," even though his previous administration did its best to shut down most legal immigration.

Of course, they also define most asylum-seekers as "illegal immigrants". If all immigration they disapprove of is "illegal", then I guess they only have a problem with illegal immigrants.

@mattmcirvin @georgetakei
I suspect that for him and his followers (him/them) illegal immigrants are simply all non-whites.

@georgetakei

Donald maga trump is poisoning the blood of our country.

@georgetakei Lest we forget, fascist tendencies are part of Trump (née Drumpf) family history: old man Fred Trump's slumlord management company used a code "9" (as in "nein," or "no" in German) to mark rent applications to deny. They also used a code "C" to mark rental applications submitted by people of color, for purposes of denying housing, or steering applicants into Trump's preferred slums for minorities.

This evidence came to light in the HUD case against Fred Trump back in the late 1960s. The Trump company paid what was the largest civil penalty in history to date, for rampant, systemic housing discrimination.

@georgetakei i’m British and fully agree with this, he ‘s the most dangerous man to ever hole the post of president.
@georgetakei I've been watching the parallels with Hitler and Trump for a few years now.What happened on 1/6 happened in Germany the very same way with one difference, Hitler succeeded.
@georgetakei
He started his whole political scam by saying democrates AKA americans were the ennemie to vainquish, not to out perform...to treat as ennemy of state, to treat worse than PUTIN for f🤬k sake!
@georgetakei That’s pretty rich coming from the son of an immigrant, the former spouse of an immigrant, and the current spouse of an immigrant.
@georgetakei More than a decade ago Ivana wrote in her memoir that his favorite book, that he kept on the night stand, was the collected speeches of AH. Yet people still get surprised by his words, they’re nothing new with him.

@georgetakei I heard Trump's people want to ban non-Christians from entry as refugees. That's of course banned by the UN and the US laws.

Happy holidays George to you and your family and friends,

@georgetakei Someone drew him "Mein Kampf" as a comic and he was able to read it. 😣

@georgetakei Hi George ! Would you mind adding an alternate text for the visually impaired ?

For instance :

Tweet from Republicans Against Trump
Donald Trump on immigrants: "They're poisoning the blood of our country."
Jonathan Stanley, a Yale professor and author of a book on fascism, says that Trump's words echoed the rethoric of Adolf Hitler, who warned against German blood being poisoned by Jews in his policital treatise "Mein Kampf."
"He is now employing this vocabulary in repetition in rallies. Repeating dangerous speech increases its normalization and the practices it recommends. This is very concerning talk for the safety of immigrants in the U.S.," Stanley said.

#alt4you

@georgetakei Has he not been married to two immigrants ?
@georgetakei obligatory meme repost
(not my own; I think the photoshopped nose is lame, Trumps opinions are bad enough)

@stonehead @georgetakei

yeah, I guess he means non-white immigrants poisoning the US people/Volk.

@georgetakei
If you don't learn from history you are doomed to repeat it...

@TOKSIKalp @georgetakei
I think he did learn and aims to pull a 4th Reich. His MAGA crowd gonna love it.

But even the Dems established 'America First' - Amerika über alles. Imagine German top politicians would dare to say the same. Ya, seems the entire US is ready for Trump's path.

@georgetakei
This is very concerning for immigrants, Americans, and anyone in the world.
@georgetakei Hopefully he drops 💀⚰️very very soon

@georgetakei

Trump has the backing of the richest people on the planet.

They spent decades building a fertile soil for fascism to take root.

If not Trump, they'll just pick a different puppet.

It's why the mechanisms by which they grew Trump needs to end too

@Npars01 @georgetakei The Catch 22 is that we can’t stop it without a WWII level effort against fellow Americans. We’ll lose because no one is willing to fight by their rules.
We should have paid more attention when Christian nationalists were taking over school boards, city councils, and state legislatures under Gingrich/Falwell’s “Silent Majority.”
@Npars01 @georgetakei To quote Rachel Maddow, “The rule of law still applies, and we need to make sure we continue to support the rule of law.” She talks about times in our history when things happened that are similar to things that are happening now. It’s comforting to think that enough people cared then to speak up, vote, reject authoritarianism. The hope is that there are enough people now who also care.
@georgetakei Grandson of immigrants, married to an immigrant.
@georgetakei honestly, it does sound very bad, but he has stated before he is anti-illegal immigration. he said "let them come in the legal way" in a way he is a anarchist in wanting to take down the fascist in power that has ruled for decades. #totse would agree with those goals if not the way to reach them, his popularity increases based on the principles of anarchist. to rule from the bottom up & not the fascist top down
@georgetakei he's still claiming that the shelves are empty and the supply chain is broken. This happened while he was in charge.

@georgetakei

The devil is among us.......

@georgetakei yeah because people like you supporting the subversion of our culture and the theft of our children’s nation will end up in Gitmo 🤗
@georgetakei Trump's words and actions have tapped into some deep-rooted hatred inside some of the worst people in this country and THAT has poisoned the blood of our country. The fact he's even allowed to run is a spit in the face of our democracy, proving once again this system is a corrupt sham.
@georgetakei he's going to lose badly.
@georgetakei But Biden ist kinda old...
@georgetakei Dangerous indeed, looks like he will be heading to prison so would mean he'll be writing a book to follow the formula.
@georgetakei I don't think Trump is smart enough/educated enough to be using this language on his own. Who's feeding him this stuff?
@georgetakei También te digo, no hace falta ser profesor de Yale para darse cuenta de esto.
@georgetakei When we stop paying attention to the past, we invite it to repeat itself.
@georgetakei it sounded so racist... he neverminds his ancestors who were migrants. German and Scottish kinda migrants. Not Mestizos or Arabs or Haitians. But even if he succeded, Ukrainians would still pass, they look like Canadians anyway
@georgetakei
We see this over and over, but I've yet to see anyone call him out on the fact that his own grandfather was not only an immigrant, but an ILLEGAL immigrant.
@georgetakei
This just must not be ignored or minimized.
