I do think that @Death is correct to the extent that there are people around Trump who are concerned that whites are becoming a minority in this country and are seeking ways to maintain white dominance, through measures like clamping down on immigration, making it more difficult for minorities to vote, etc: in other words white nationalism. I also think the hostility towards CRT and DEI are rooted in these racist fears.

 
But though Trump definitely shares these bigoted beliefs, he’s probably far too self-centered, incompetent, and focused on personal slights to truly carry them out. Nonetheless we need to be wary of the Stephen Miller types around him…

With his two recent legal losses - at the Supreme Court regarding his sentencing and at the federal district court level regarding his birthright executive order - I have hope that he can be checked and balanced, in addition to the Republicans in the House who have shown they won't always vote his way.

Americans won't be as easily manipulated as Germans were in the early 1930s, and I certainly don't believe Trump has kind of ambitions that invented World War II and The Holocaust, but I certainly see a danger in this country becoming another Hungary.

Why does everything get compared to Nazi Germany? Why do liberals use this one singular boogeyman as the basis for all of their arguments? And then they will all tell you that they haven't been manipulated in any way.

I'm done with all of these liberal conspiracies these days. It's getting out of hand.

I've posted information regarding how Hitler rose to power. You should read it. 

I've brought up eery similtarities between Trump and MAGA actions to not only early 1930s Germany but to Hungary and late 1800s America as well.

Every time I've done this, the MAGAs here quickly pivot to, "That's what the Democrats are doing," and I've thoroughly destroyed that assertion with facts that my links support.

And then MAGA can't back up their claims and resort to name-calling, tired platitudes and baseless claims they get from their infotainment resources and pass around amongst themselves.

Multiculturalism is not necessarily a good thing.  Why do we need to constantly import brand new cultures into the country?  You want your fix of that?  Buy a plane ticket and travel.  Personally, I like the community I live in - my neighbors - to be of a similar culture and core belief set.  Go ahead and call me racist.  IDGAF.

[Patented Phil 1,469]

I was in Moe’s the other day for lunch.  One of the (likely immigrant) workers, who by the way can’t speak enough English to get my simple order straight, takes her lunch break right next to me and blasts the speaker in her iPhone watching YouTube videos.  I’m sure that’s acceptable where she is from, but not where I live.  You see, today people don’t live by the phrase, “When in Rome, do like the Romans do.”  It feels invasive because it is invasive.

Literally, every normal person in this country wants that. When I was in high school, anyone could sit anywhere but all the black people sat together, and all the white people sat together. And we didn't have race issues at that school. 

Latinos like hanging out with other latinos, whites like hanging out with whites, and etc.... The difference between good and bad people is that they simply tolerate other races in a good way rather than attack them. And become friends with one offs or marry into a family. 

Forced integration hurts EVERYONE who wants to live their lives in peace with those people that they want to be around. You don't have to be religious and join a particular church, to want to be around people who share your moral, and cultural, interests. 

When I worked as a consultant, there were plenty of East Indians on my projects, and they ALL gravitated to hanging out with each other 95% of the time. Both at work, and off of work. No one gave a shlt. Fock DEI and the liberals who keep calling everyone racists for so many stupid reasons.

It’s a matter of degree.  Do we really want poor Central and South Americans in such astounding numbers?  Who the fock made that decision?  Tim?

Remember that time Hitler got Impeached twice? And then his secretary of defense needed his VP to break a tie to get confirmed? And his home was raided? Yeah, the similarities are there if you look, bigots.

nah, immigration the legal way.  You have something to offer come on in.  your scare tactics mirror Joy Reid & MSNBC.  they have thrived on these lies for a few years and come off as an uniformed brainwashed political tool when you make them.   an American is an American.  you are the type promoting this division,  vocally voicing that blacks have trouble getting a voter ID.  Do you know how stupid you sound with this tiresome excuse?  Probably not.   may make you feel all righteous and all, but your wrong.  Hire the best people for a job & treat all people as you want to be treated.  have people vote that are qualified to vote.

as I watch California burn because of California policies.

no satisfaction in it.  Just confirmation of failed policies.

I thought that the crossings slowed in 2024 and that Trump was president now and working to stop the crossings and throw out the illegals.

 When have we "imported" Central and South Americans? 

The importation of which I'm aware is foreign tech workers, which is something Musk and Trump want.

Do you support importing those cultures? How would you feel if they moved into your neighborhood after the Trump administration imported them?

He said we don't want them. Trump is helping with that already. Trump works for his voters. I get you liberals aren't used to that while creepy joe was licking 4 year olds and eating ice cream and falling on his face for the past 4 years.

I've pointed out three things:

1.) Trump is following a similar playbook that Hitler used to push Germany into a dictatorship.

2.) Trump is following a similar playbook that was used to destroy democracy in Hungary.

3.) We're moving toward a second Gilded Age in this country, where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

I've never said anything about us heading into another world war or concentration camps and exterminating people. 

The similarities can't be denied. Autocracy. Dictatorship. Oligarchy.

I've detailed how we get there and pointed to the wheels in motion to speed this along.

It is up to Americans and those who cherish our democracy to stand up to wanna-be tyranny.

No I don’t think you’re a racist. I believe in American culture too- meaning free enterprise, individual freedom, the principles enshrined in our Constitution and Declaration of Independence, etc. I want people of all races and cultures to come here and accept those principles. If they don’t then they shouldn’t be here. I think we can agree on that.

The only objection I have to this post is when you wrote: “I’m sure that’s acceptable where she is from.” You don’t know that and frankly I doubt it. Rude behavior is pretty much rude behavior everywhere. You encountered a rude person, not a representative of any culture. Most people in ALL cultures are courteous.
