There is nothing inherently "Nazi" about being anti-illegal immigration. 30 years ago the left stood for a lot of anti immigration rhetoric.

- bagels 2y agoSure, but invoking Hitler's language while denigrating people from other countries is pretty Nazi though.

- bagels 2y agoOn the one hand, it's sort of believable that he would not engage with literature of any kind. On the other, he kept saying it after being informed that the phrase came from Hitler.
- tzs 2y agoYeah, it is astounding. When any reasonable person says something that might seem close to something Hitler says and is told about it, their reaction is to figure out how to re-express what they said more clearly so that it cannot be mistaken for agreeing with Hitler. Trump's reaction apparently is to want to make sure you know he didn't steal the idea from Hitler.
