When Trump openly and repeatedly exclaims that migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country,” or shares a video calling for a “unified Reich,” he is literally echoing the language of Hitler.
Trump is not a “populist.” He’s not a “strongman.” He is a fascist.
@rbreich I disagree with you on most of your socialist or socialist-adjacent opinions, but I agree completely with taking that kind of talk seriously. Biden is a moderate centrist, but I would even vote for a socialist to stop a fascist from taking office again.
@rbreich
Trumps "counsellors" needed to provide their boss a blueprint for the politics of the next turn. Of curse, a dumb guy like Trumps feels urge to babble it... @tschupp
@rbreich ich erhöhe auf Psychophatischer Faschisst der ekelhaftesten Sorte Menschen, die es je gab. Hitler ließ die Gräueltaten von anderen machen. Der Hosenscheisser Donald, würde selber andere masakrieren. Er ist ein Sadist
@rbreich "strongman" is exactly why the super rich donating to Biden don't care at all if he wins or not, end of the day Trump win means they also win "bigly", Trump ain't going after super rich regardless what their "public" political affiliation is. End of the day, any sadness resulting from their "good guy" loosing will be easily drowned by flood of cash from Trump tax cuts. For ordinary people, regardless how toothless Biden is with Palestine etc, they have far more to loose.
@rbreich Trump's grandfather was an illegal emigrant from Germany, and subsequently had his German citizenship revoked for failure to do national service.
@rbreich The greed king.When you have totally rigged the system and no intention to ever change it, extremism seems to be their answer to the inequality they created.
@rbreich Thomas Frank's definition of #populism: "multiracial coalition of working class people coming together for economic democracy". Book recommendation: "The People, No: A Brief History of Anti-Populism" #populist
Obstruct, resist the MAGAfascists! ✊
@rbreich sadly this is par for the course for him. He does this garbage on the daily and his followers love it. It’s a cult on a massive scale and unfortunately there’s no stopping it.
