Wait! Did I say Jews? I meant to say Trump is storming private property to send Hispanics to detention centers because they're diluting the race. I keep getting him mixed up with a another leader. This is a lot different.
The process of Nazis "rounding up" Jews was a systematic, multi-stage operation that escalated from legal discrimination to mass murder over more than a decade, culminating in the Holocaust. This process involved a vast network of German government agencies, SS and police units, and local collaborators across Europe.
We were meant to be better because of the Posse Comitatus Act. It means Trump cannot use the military against our citizens, so he's assembling "police units" that are nothing like soldiers.
Here's a secret police you haven't heard the last of... Unlike ICE, BORTAC is an elite branch of Border Patrol armed like a special forces unit. They have advanced training in crowd control, marksmanship, and "aiding local police departments". Jurisdiction is all 50 states and foreign countries.
Is this what a peace officer looks like these days?

(23,098 posts)When the Nazis came to power in 1933, there were several thousand Black people living in Germany. The Nazi regime harassed and persecuted them because the Nazis viewed Black people as racially inferior. While there was no centralized, systematic program targeting Black people for murder, many Black people were imprisoned, forcibly sterilized, and murdered by the Nazis.
KEY FACTS
1.) The Nazis harassed and discriminated against Black people in Germany. The regimes racial laws limited their social and economic opportunities.
2.) The Nazi regime forcibly sterilized an unknown number of Black and multiracial people, including at least 385 multiracial Rhineland children (derogatorily called the Rhineland Bastards).
3.) There was no coordinated arrest wave targeting all Black people in Germany. Nonetheless, many Black people ended up imprisoned in workhouses, prisons, hospitals, psychiatric facilities, and concentration camps.

(112,887 posts)NeoNazis, White Supremacy, and Trump is happy to exploit that and more--his converted daughter and grandchildren notwithstanding.
Jewish people who believe otherwise because of his relationship with Netanyahu are going to be every bit as victimized as the rest of us. Regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, Liberal/Progressives will/are likewise on the list (and feminists will be a main target of his incel "bro" followers)

I don't have any personal knowledge, but from what I've seen and read in the media, it doesn't seem that Chump has a hatred for Jews. He actually seeks their friendship and approval whenever possible, and many wealthy Jews have supported Chump politically. Chump's "friendship" with Netanyahu certainly fills that bill.
No, his scorn and hatred is for the poor, brown people who don't speak good English. You know, the kind that works for below minimum wages at his hotels and resorts. He's happy to exploit them but he really wants to prevent them from becoming US citizens.
hlthe2b
(112,887 posts)Again, Ivanka, Jared, and grandchildren notwithstanding. In fact, Jared may well reinforce Trump's prejudices re: money and "propensity." The way in which he referenced those Jewish "friends" or employees who worked for him and provided services to Trump CO ("moneychangers" being the least of it) would be eye-opening for those who had not followed him closely over decades.
Is it all self-serving, reflexive, performative and non-ideologic? Maybe. But such exploitation should hardly be reassuring. Not to mention the "true hate-filled Nazis" that surround and manipulate his every thought and action. Like I said, Jewish people will be right in there with the rest of us--the subject of his eternal wrath. It is only the order that differs (i.e., non-Americans and POC, first... then the rest).

(21,829 posts)shakes head because that's so obvious. Bibi is RWer and so is his administration, and yes some Jews are RWers.
Not many, but in all races and religions there are RWers, and
RW ideology is fucked up.

(5,635 posts)We are one race but the social construct is real and has had so many negative effects. The largest effects are from the wealthy and rich hoarding resources and allowing their spawn to leapfrog over even the brighest of the working class. The wealthy have mananged to divide the poor into insular groups who don't have a class mentality and now are politically sorted by intelligence. The GOP is appealing to the more stupid and the Nazi scum desendants they imported in 1953 have crafted their message and media to lure many.

(3,530 posts)Border Patrol has one function: patrolling the borders. ICE has one function: Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
That's it. Those are their titles and jobs.
Civilian crowd control is left up to local police, sheriff's office, state police or the state Nation Guard in extreme or emergency cases.
States need to expel these weaponized government agencies staffed by neo-Nazis, Fascists & white supremacists.
But if they have the right to come in, then they do their "jobs" and leave. They have no right to inject themselves into the civilian population who are observing or protesting and that is exactly what they are doing. There needs to be heavily armed National Guard and police units present at these gatherings to protect the public from these instigating monsters.
Great post

(20,531 posts)A lot of municipal police departments also have a paramilitary unit as well, but now we have federal SWAT Teams, able to respond to anything from disaster security to assisting local police at peaceful protests.
Just wait. Wait to hear the words "These illegal protests....".
