Agreed! Teh man is a moron.
I'd rather have a moron that is fascist (Trump) than a smart person that is fascist I guess :)
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 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.
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 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 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.
yeah, I guess he means non-white immigrants poisoning the US people/Volk.
@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.
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
The devil is among us.......
@georgetakei Germany had to learn its lesson from losing democracy & millions of lives to a bonkers fanatical racist mass murderer.
That's why incitement of the public is no longer covered & protected freedom of expression there.
Free speech ends where harm is caused.
