“Just as Germans who backed Hitler and the Nazi Party after 1933 were fully aware of what they were joining, so Christians who have backed Trump and the MAGA movement a second time know and bear responsibility for what they are now endorsing…
“This dehumanising language, talking about immigrants as vermin, and this racial purity language, like they’re ‘poisoning the blood of our country’. What does that mean? If they’re poisoning the blood, what’s the pure blood? We know where that story goes,” he said.
Christianity should be considered a form of mental illness
Rehashing Nazi propaganda phrases and literally sieg heiling during the innaguration wasn’t enough?
We need to stop comparing US politics to Nazis. It’s much more accurate and more helpful to compare it to our own Jim Crow past.
Considering Hitler is a personal hero of Trump, we need to keep comparing it.
And America’s Jim Crow past explicitly inspired Hitler, so it’s really one incestuous cycle of fascism.
About ten years ago if you were educated and attentive.
Since 1776 if you werent a white straight Anglo-Saxon Protestant
US politics inspired the Nazi era… so a long time
Yeah, I’m not surprised our world history classes in the states glazes over the part where Nazi inspiration came from the worst of the worst in our country alone.
Worst of the worst? Thomas Jefferson, worshipped daily on our money, was literally worse than Trump is. FDR, largely considered one of the best by liberals, literally created red lining and put Japanese-looking people into concentration camps and stole their property. You’re fooling yourself if you think it was just the worst of the worst.
See this is your problem. You’re blaming one person, Jefferson, Trump, FDR… The problem is the American people. They are what creates these people and then execute their vision. The American people are as guilty as these individuals!
