Facts are facts. If Trump talks like Mussolini, perhaps deliberately, then he deserves the comparison.
Sure, all the fascism in his speeches and platform could be some grand act just to rile people up, but he's giving no reliable indication that the terrifying things he says aren't what he really believes.
But I am, of course, biased. As a Jew, I can't stomach anyone who brings white supremacism and open antisemitism into the mainstream. It's just bad for me, you know?
- jacquesm 10y agoAnd not just bad for you. Trump will bring misery to a large chunk of the world if he gets to act on just a small percentage of what he has to date said he will do.
- ZoF 10y agoYes Donald Drumpf is evil! It's time we had a woman in office! Hillary has done nothing wrong!

- Xylakant 10y agoposting pictures drawing on antisemitic imagery and motives probably should count, especially if those have been lifted from white supremacist/anti-semitic sources: https://mic.com/articles/147711/donald-trump-s-star-of-david-hillary-clinton-meme-was-created-by-white-supremacists#.Z7LCceAS9 https://mic.com/articles/147711/donald-trump-s-star-of-david... http://www.politicususa.com/2016/07/03/trumps-star-david-anti-semitic-attack-clinton-neo-nazis.html http://www.politicususa.com/2016/07/03/trumps-star-david-ant... you're welcome.
- jmorphy88 10y agoObvious non-issue and fake media controversy, will not take seriously. Thx.
- Xylakant 10y agoSince I'm obviously too dumb to see the obvious please tell me how reusing imagery that uses and reinforces anti-semitic prejudices in conjunction with a star of david and has been lifted from an anti-semitic source is obviously a non-issue and a fake media controversy?
- eli_gottlieb 10y agoI think I can answer this one: "you are a cuck sheeple because SJWz, therefore /r/The_Donald".
- ZoF 10y agoHave you read his own son in laws response to this?
- Xylakant 10y agoOk, serious question: Which of the statements do you dispute: 1. The image was lifted from a reddit channel known as anti-semitic and white supremacist. 2. The image uses and reaffirms anti-semitic prejudices, namely the prejudice that jewish world domination/conspiracy using money and buying power. 3. The image uses the david star. I grant you that (2) and (3) in isolation might be forgiven and an honest mistake, but in combination, especially in combination with (1) they can't be regarded as anything other than an obvious antisemitic slur.

- serge2k 10y ago> open antisemitism into the mainstream has Trump done that? Cruz pulled his "new york values" thing and got called out pretty quick.
