“Many of them murdered far more than one person,” Trump declared. “A murderer, I believe this, it’s in their genes. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.”
And he will still be normalized as a presidential candidate by this evenings news and by the country on election day.
I guess it’s that time of day to come to grips that the USA is ok with this.
The US has always been okay with this. They don’t teach this in school. But they should. The United States was one of the biggest inspirations to the Nazis. From the Jim crow south beating, jailing, and suppressing their unternensch. To the fabulously wealthy capitalists practicing eugenics on their untermensch. Literally, the only slight new take the Nazis had. Was the fantasy ayrian precursors.
Hell even lemmy’s perpetual good boys. Well if you’re talking too ML or tankies. Had a very cozy working relationship with Hitler. Invading Poland. Even when they broke it off. Stalin went on to massacre thousands of ethnically polish citizens within Soviet borders.
None of these groups ever really had any repercussions from this. One of the big reasons the Nazis failed was Japan’s attack on Pearl harbor. Which finally tipped things from the American fascists quiet support of Hitler with public calls for isolationism. Turning away boats of Jewish refugees. Combined with the discovery of the death camps. Without those things, the US would have stayed out while continuing to support Hitler. But IBM never faced repercussions for helping Hitler catalog and track Jews on the way to slaughter. DuPont was never held responsible for making and supplying the gas to Hitler to slaughter the Jews. Our fascists simply bid their time. Russia going from authoritarian to fascist authoritarian government today. With our fascist capitalists slowly dismantling our democracy over the last 100 years. Only some fascists lost WWII.
Exactly, thank you for the great response.
The majority of us most certainly are NOT; the sane ones are just underrepresented in our archaic voting system.
I guess it’s that time of day to come to grips that the USA is ok with this.
Absolutely fucking not!
It is literally a matter of life and death that we not only stay mad about this, but get a Hell of a lot madder than we already are!
Where’s Edward R. Murrow when you need him?
come to grips that the USA is ok with this.
“This” is what happens when a society has no hope. A brutal side effect of economic policy and fleecing of the population over the past 30 years. People turn to religion and strong men for succour. They are swayed by bullshit and manipulated to serve the interests of the powerful.
NYT: “Did Trump say immigrants have ‘bad genes’? MOSTLY FALSE. Trump was actually critiquing immigrants’ choice in denim jeans.”
Lol
Ahh, so he must be a big time jeans traditionalist. Blue or bust.
Explains why he keeps muttering under his breath about the black and brown jeans in this country. It all makes sense now.
Wow! The year is 2024, and the Republican candidate is running his platform on genetic cleansing. I did not-see this coming, who could have possibly predicted it?
We knew it. We said it. Its plain as day and the news media will ignore it. The pundits will walk it back. The public will defend it. And we will be Christo-fascists.
You mean White Nationalist Christo-fascists?
Pretty much. I’d rather a revolution break out then see this NAZI be president again.
The thing is though, his base of white xenophobic cornfed redneck inbred ignoramuses will love him all the more for it. And that’s a good 40% of the US population.
Crazy, right? Always has been, too.
He says this kind of crap literally every day. Didn’t he say Harris voters would be in danger like, literally yesterday? It’s not “stunning” anyone anymore, we’re just supposed to act like people in power actually care that he’s a xenophobic, narcissistic fascist. Headlines like this are supposed to comfort us into believing that those with power are actually stunned or upset by what he said. Every day? For eight+ years? Get the fuck out of here.
Won’t someone please think of our leaders’ pearls.
It’s better to have it reported than for us all to be normalized to a potential president wholeheartedly adopting fascist language.
It’d be better if a pearl clutcher passed a law or something, but with half of them frothing at the chance to turn on their own constituents…
Reporting on it just fans the flames, generates the drama he needs to stay at the forefront of the news cycle. Can Harris generate that kind of chatter with sensible talk about realistic proposals? This dispirits Dem voters, while emboldening his base who laugh behind their hand at Trump’s boorish political incorrectness. Jester’s Privilege. He has never suffered any consequences for anything he’s said.
It’s so sad so many will brush this off.
I cant be more ashamed then I am of my fellow country men. I knew shit was wrong growing up. I did my best to stay out of their way but to see it so clearly in their politics I just can’t anymore. Americans are a ravenous people. We harbor them. We protect them. That is what we are.
Eugenics getting freely discussed by a presidential candidate. Shame on me. Shame on all of us.
It’s nice to hear when someone realizes that Trump is not the problem, he’s the symptom incurred by a mental disease that so many people seem to have.
Many of us are plagued with the “not us” syndrome. They hear about the awful events that shape our history and say, “not us, not here, we are better.” Deep down we have to believe that but when you become so delusional that all you can say when faced with any truth about the world around you is “not us” you’ve got a problem.
he’s the symptom incurred by a mental disease that so many people seem to have.
It’s basically a new religion, right? If this what fills the vacuum when we let go of the old religions… Is it an improvement? It certainly makes me want to be less critical of your average Christian/Jew/Muslim/Flying Spaghetti Monster worshipper.
He’s both.
Shoot the dictator and prevent the war? But the dictator is merely the tip of the whole festering boil of social pus from which dictators emerge; shoot one, and there’ll be another one along in a minute. Shoot him too? Why not shoot everyone and invade Poland?
In fifty years’, thirty years’, ten years’ time the world will be very nearly back on its old course. History always has a great weight of inertia.

I don’t fucking get the right.
“Evolution is evil it says we’re monkeys!”
“Genetics means we can have better blood lines!”
Both statements are based on complete and total misunderstanding of evolutionary biology.
Damn, it sounds like he’s implying that we need to get rid of evangelical Christians - the largest crime committing block in America.
(Obviously we shouldn’t get rid of any group based on such broad generalizations - he’s a fucking asshole).
evangelical Christians - the largest crime committing block in America
Wow, really? Do you have a link?
I’m assuming they mean that Christians make up a huge percentage of the US, so therefore they probably make up a large percentage of criminals. I’d be interested if evangelical Christians now make up the majority of Christians.
This is the closest thing to a study on religion in prison I’ve ever found and the prisoner statistics are obscured by whether chaplains considered them extremist - the clearest piece of data is that 44% of chaplains (a plurality of them) are evangelicals. It’s a really shaky statistic though so I wouldn’t draw on it outside of dunking on idiocy from the GOP
Study: https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2012/03/22/prison-chaplains-exec/
In case anyone isn’t getting it he’s calling for racial cleansing.
Oh, I think he’s just saying it plainly now.
I think it’s pretty plain to you and I, but I doubt the folks at your local GOP meeting are going to hear it that way.
I think using the actual words could help.
Harris campaign needs to put this on blast. If the Latin voter segment is sliding as they say, then this should be a wakeup call.
Remember when the right said comparisons to Hitler were unfair or inaccurate?
Then the news media whimpered away with their tale between their legs. Wouldn’t want to offend a NAZI.
It’s very funny that eugenicists always look inbred and disgusting
Like the well-bred Hapsburgs!
You will respect the girth of their chins.
The great irony of eugenics is that the only real measure of the long-term health of a population is its genetic diversity, which leads to the exact opposite conclusion of eugenics. If you want your “race” to survive and thrive, you should interbreed with other races, not try to cull and “purify” your own. There’s no such thing as good or bad genes, because that depends on the environment which is constantly changing. Eugenics is just wrong in every possible sense of that word.
Weird for a man such as Trump to equate crime with bad genes. How many felonies does he have again? It’d be interesting to see how this guy would have turned out if he was born poor
Well, his dad was a nazi too, so maybe he thinks it’s his genes that made him this way.
Oh, I know. He must be talking about the bad genes of Elon Musk and the family history of labor abuse under apartheid and incest.
The Orange POS Nazi is copying 1920’s, 30’s and 40’s Germany.
Can’t wait for 1945!
Eugenics has its roots in the US.
I didn’t realize the US was older than ancient Rome 🤭
I see your Rome and raise with Sparta. Yes this brand of stupidity has been going since well before the colonization of North America by Europeans. A more nuanced comment would have discussed how much of nazi germanys eugenics was based on american eugenics of the time as others have done in this thread.
I can’t believe we’ve got a 50% chance that this racist motherfucker is going to be the next president.
Well yeah of course he’s going to bring out the eugenics, he surrounds himself with his fellow Nazis.
Is history repeating itself this blatantly? And the people who are voting for him still believe they are morally correct.
I know right, I was hopping I would at least be old before history repeated itself.
Bents knees
Wait a minute…
