With a border deal hanging in the balance and the Iowa caucuses a month away, Donald Trump amplified his attack on immigrants at a rally in New Hampshire on Saturday.
“They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” the former president said. “They’ve poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world. Not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world they’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia.”
While in the White House, Trump sought to deter immigration by building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, building some 450 miles of fencing along the nearly 2,000-mile border, much of which replaced existing barriers. In addition to strict border security measures, his administration also implemented a travel ban for people from several predominantly Muslim countries.
With all of it being fucking bad, him screeching like that means there’s no other option. He’s helpless, so he tries to contact the deepest fear of his base. It’sa good sign.
How is unabashed fascism a good sign? How blind do you have to be to think that he’s somehow losing the run for president?
It’s not good he can go for it, right.
It’s good he is so struggling he goes all-in into faschism to clutch these last percents of his userbase.
And I hope - losing others while doing so.
It means Democrats can move even further to the right and still be able to say they’re the lesser evil.
