Trump said that this morning. He only wants Americans who look and speak alike. like him. He thinks we must all have the same ethnicity, culture, traditions, language, values, religion, and patriotism to qualify for a spot in his new America. Translation: Trump says we must be White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant (WASP), English speakers with a jingoistic nationalistic fervor. This is Trump's vision for America, but it's not mine, and I sure hope it isn't a vision that is shared by most people in this country.

(15,805 posts)Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer ('One People, One Nation, One Leader'). Think about everything Trump has said, and then recall what you learned in school about the prelude to WWII when the Fascists consolidated power by abolishing political opposition parties, trade unions, academia, and took direct control of press.

Er, wait a sec, maybe dum dum thinks they're referring to him where it says In God We Trust on the bills. Maybe that inspired him to run for president...

Neither do nations. Fantasies allowing us to rationalize who gets help and who gets mocked.

(41,831 posts)After all, to him, we are not acceptable. Were not American enough...and were all filthy immigrants who some how passed under some wire to be here. I seriously will be worried if he gets "chosen" to be President.. Waiting for that 3am knock on the door by some storm trooper pointing a gun to my face and telling me to get out, board that anti immigrant bus and be ready to go to some holding point until the ships can be collected to take us to Hong Kong. At least I have one friend there.
