The former president continued his campaign to denigrate people coming to the U.S. in search of a better life
Former president Donald Trump, who opened his 2016 campaign declaring undocumented immigrants “rapists,” took the dehumanization even further this weekend, saying some immigrants are “not people … these are animals.”
“I don’t know if you call them people. In some cases they’re not people, in my opinion,” Trump said at an Ohio rally on Saturday. “But I’m not allowed to say that because the radical left says that’s a terrible thing to say.”
“These are bad — these are animals,” he added. “And we have to stop it.”
Democrats moved to the right on immigration. Republicans flipped them the bird and moved even further to the right. Now Democrats have moved to the right and are acting like it’s a win.
Because they got to move to the right and throw a vulnerable population under the bus.
Neoliberals will always choose fascism over socialism. Every time.
Meanwhile i don’t think a single person who is afraid of immigration has changed positions.
Or parties. Democrats gained nothing from this.
