House Majority Leader Steve Scalise on Tuesday became the latest member of Republican leadership to endorse former President Donald Trump in his latest bid for the White House.

Scalise’s announcement comes less than two weeks before the Iowa caucuses kick off voting in the Republican presidential primary. All of House GOP leadership, except for House majority whip Tom Emmer, has now thrown their support behind Trump.

      Pretty easy to find examples of each of those points in the MAGA movement.

              The first link is literally about Trump quoting Hitler and the history of that quote.

                  Former President Trump has repeatedly said undocumented immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country,” language echoing the rhetoric of white supremacists and Adolf Hitler.

                  Why it matters: The phrase “poisoning the blood of our country” has a deep racist and antisemitic history, and the comments come as some Republicans have openly endorsed the once-fringe and racist “white replacement theory.”

                  At least four times in recent months, Trump referred to immigrants as “poisoning the blood” of the nation.

                  He said it during an interview with a right-leaning website in September.

                  He said it again at a rally in December in New Hampshire.

                  He repeated it in a Truth Social post in December, then again at a campaign stop in Iowa.

                  …

                  Reality check: The remarks “poisoning the blood of our country” are straight out of Hitler’s 1925 autobiographical manifesto, “Mein Kampf” — his blueprint for a “pure Aryan” Germany and the removal of Jews.

                  “All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning,” Hitler wrote.

                  “He poisons the blood of others but preserves his own blood unadulterated,” Hitler wrote of Jewish males allowing Jewish females to marry white Christians. “Whenever Aryans have mingled their blood with that of an inferior race, the result has been the downfall of the people who were the standard-bearers of a higher culture,” he wrote in another passage.

                  The facts behind those words makes it true. Counter point: your blind denials don’t make them false.

      Trump has now literally said he is going to be a dictator, said that he wants to get rid of vermin, meaning anyone not a Republican, and is also very concerned about the purity of the blood of the nation.

      Are you just amazingly ignorant, or the first overt right wing troll from r/thedonald that I have encountered on lemmy?

      EDIT: oh god read your other comments, obvious troll is obvious holy shit

      Party pushes being American and “Make America Great Again” over helping the citizenry

      Party shows support for a person who has shown to support an insurrection of the US Constitution and openly talks about being a dictator while also complimenting other dictators

      Party advocates for a ton of tax cuts for the rich and businesses while putting the economic pressure on the middle- and poverty-class citizens

      Party is ok with accepting money from corporate entities in order to influence politics in their favor, regardless of how it affects the citizenry

      Party advocates for suppressing the voice of the citizens with some insane district drawing that clearly favors a specific type of citizen and disfavors a ton of others

      Party is in favor for rolling back child labor laws and tries to get retirees back into the work force, and also openly supports controlling birthrates via state-wide abortion bans that citizens can’t contest

      Yeah, I’d say whatever party does all of that is probably fascist - or at the very least, on its way to being fascist.

          Oh yeah - in fact, Democrats also do a lot of stuff the GOP does. However, I’ll support whatever party does see how batshit insane the idea of becoming a corpofascist state is, because unfortunately voting in the US has become “vote against what you don’t like” instead of “vote for what you want”.

          In truth, I wouldn’t be surprised if the US does become a corpofascist state in our lifetimes - we tend to forget that Democrats are center-right while GOP is full-on right-wing, hence why Hillary was chosen instead of Bernie for the Democratic candidate.

      nation and often race above the individual

      America First, yes. Trump’s favorite.

      a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader

      Right, like using a fake elector scheme to enthrone Trump as unelected dictator, presumably for life. It’s their plan A.

      severe economic and social regimentation

      Like taxing the middle class and putting kids in cages?

      forcible suppression of opposition

      Lol.
