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.”

    All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning

    Hitler

    He poisons the blood of others but preserves his own blood unadulterated

    Hitler on Jews

    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

    Believe it or not, still fucking Hitler

    There is a former US president who is currently running again who can’t keep spouting literal Nazi lies-and a third of Americans agree with him. That should terrify you. We know what happens when Nazis take power and the US is not immune.

    A third of Americans are dumb as hell and too ignorant to realize America was built off immigration.

    I’m of the opinion the societies that brought heavy industry and Flags aka “this is mine time to die” are the people’s with the poisonous blood.

    The only humans that weren’t cancerous, like the Native Americans that lived in perpetual homeostasis with the Earth, were largely eradicated in the name of metastasis, oh I’m sorry, wonderous growth.

    You know, that thing that’s destroying the entire habitat for humans effectively permanently.

    And half the country thought black people should be slaves. That is why we are not a direct democracy and why we have a constitution. Even if we haven’t always lived up to it, this country was founded on the principle that all people are created equal. All people, not all citizens. Believing that some people are inherently better than others is not just wrong, it is un-American.

      The constitution was written during a time where slavery was acceptable.

      While I agree with your underlying tone what your saying isn’t actually factual truth.

        Like I said, we haven’t always lived up to our ideals. Slavery was allowed to persist in spite of it directly contradicting the ideals of this country because the southern colonies would never have signed onto a Constitution that forbade it.

          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.

        Technically they came over too, just much earlier over the Bering Strait. Really, we’re all from Africa, so we should probably all move back there. Better make some room folks, there’s a lot of us now.

        Dear Germany,

        Please take Trump back. We really don’t want him. Like, we really don’t want him. Please. We will throw in some schnitzels and a 6 pack of Spaten to sweeten the deal.

    This is why I claim that fascism is less a political ideology than it is an expression and exploitation of basic human psychology. This isn’t an American thing. This isn’t a 2024 thing. Human beings believe this all over the world, and always do. A significant portion of us are hard wired to worry about “purity”, which can be sullied in a number of psychologically related ways, making us feel disgust. Such people tend conservative.

      40-some percent of Americans simply don’t vote.

      The remaining 60% are split into their teams. We have no way of knowing how that 40% would vote.

      The reason I mention this is because ~30% of Americans are republicans- which would suggest at least some of them don’t actually agree with the rhetoric, but that they’re single issue voters. (Abortion, imposing christofascism, Rich People’s Yacht MoneyThe Economy™️, etc)
