Founder of polling firm that conducted survey says: ‘That language is straight out of Mein Kampf … it’s Nazi rhetoric’
A new poll has revealed that more than one-third of Americans agree with Donald Trump’s warning that undocumented immigrants in the US are “poisoning the blood” of America.
A significant 34% of the respondents to the poll, conducted by the Brookings Institution and Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), agreed with the statement previously made on the election campaign trail by the former US president and Republican party nominee for the White House, Donald Trump.
“One-third of Americans (34%) say that immigrants entering the country illegally today are ‘poisoning the blood of our country’, including six in 10 Republicans (61%), 30% of independents, and only 13% of Democrats,” a summary of the annual poll stated, which surveyed more than 5,000 individuals from 16 August to 4 September.
“This is a truly alarming situation to find this kind of rhetoric, find this kind of support from one of our two major political parties,” said Robert Jones, president and founder of the PRRI, during a presentation of the poll’s findings. “That language is straight out of Mein Kampf. This kind of poisoning the blood, it’s Nazi rhetoric.”
Either way the founding fathers of this country loved slavery, so to claim our founding fathers were all about equality is hilarious.
Keep smoking that copium tho.
Some of the founding fathers loved slavery, many others were abolitionists, and debates went back and forth between them for almost a decade when they were drafting the constitution. The did actually plan ahead and leave mechanisms built into the constitution to amend the constitution. 27 times in fact.
That’s not cope, that’s how it’s supposed to work but the last 50 years, one political party has hijacked every constitutional mechanism and manipulated it to their bid for power.
The founding fathers never truly accounted for people executing their offices in bad faith, they never really planned for an organized subversion of every branch of the government. A legislative branch in gridlock unable to legislate because Republicans are actively forcing it into gridlock. A judicial branch that has been stacked with justices aligned with conservatives, and when Republicans get into the executive branch abuse every executive power the first chance they get and use the influence over the Judiciary to stack those courts with partisan judges.
