            Im not gonna engage w the fashbot arguing with you, so ill instrad reply here to affirm that trumps use of “blood poisoning” is still justvas dehumanizing and fascist no matter what way they try to deny or obfuscate it.

            I can’t see anything that backs up that ‘blood’ claim about, project 2025 except a claim by a critic of the project

            If enforcing immigration laws is fascist I guess almost every nation on earth has been fascist for decades

              Trump is quoting and agreeing with part of Hitler’s autobiography Mein Kampf, a book entirely dedicated to fascism.

              If you read the NBC article I linked above, you can compare the original from the text with Trump’s quote and see how similar they are.

              Systematically discriminating against and causing harm to people based on their identity or race is fascism. You would be correct in saying that around the globe, many of the laws and actions around immigration today can be called fascistic.

              Criminalizing the rescue of drowning migrants so they die before reaching land is one such policy.

                The term “blood poisoning” was used by Hitler in his manifesto “Mein Kampf,” in which he criticized immigration and the mixing of races. “All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning,” Hitler wrote.

                Vs:

                “They let — I think the real number is 15, 16 million people into our country. When they do that, we got a lot of work to do. They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” Trump told the crowd at a rally in New Hampshire. “That’s what they’ve done. They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world, not just in South America, not just to three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world. They’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia, all over the world.”

                Trump then repeated the use of “poisoning” in a post on his social media website Truth Social, saying overnight in an all-caps post, that “illegal immigration is poisoning the blood of our nation. They’re coming from prisons, from mental institutions — from all over the world.”

                These are literally completely dissimilar apart from the shared use of the term “blood poisoning”, which would be a translation from a german term for Mein Kampf surely?

                I’m not defending either here, but “xyz is hitler/nazi” is literally said by everyone

          If it looks like a fascist, swims like a fascist, and quacks like a fascist, it’s probably a fascist.

              Use of violence against political opponents is actually part of many definitions of the term fascism, but it also is present in non fascist countries.

                I would so thoroughly enjoy debunking the paradox of tolerance all over your face and body with some sort of heavy blunt object.

      Plenty of folks like fascism. That’s a big part of the problem

      This is disingenuous b/c while it is sometimes true, it is not always thus. (I did not downvote you btw.)
