When is Trump going to start calling them untermenschen?

[guillaumeb]

In English, untermenschen means sub-humans.

He has not used the English equivalent yet, but it seems inevitable that the GOP will decide on a term similar.

1. Infestations, dirty, animals, thugs, "no human would want to live there." What more do you want?

[guillaumeb]

2. Agreed.

He is using every word he can to dehumanize them.

3. I wouldn't be surprised if one day he completely losses it and uses the N - word.

4. In private I would assume that he does.

Funny how racists really dislike being called what they are.

But it is obvious that his goal is to dehumanize non-white people. Look at how the asylum seekers are treated by some members of the Border Patrol.

5. Infested /swarming/ animals /no human would live there ..that's the plan

Does it work?

6. And it proceeds one step at a time.

First, make people hate and fear a certain group of their fellow citizens. The GOP has used this technique for years. Think the Willie Horton ads, or Trump's obsession with the Central Park 5.

Second, blame that group for bringing undesirable things upon themselves. Think of the many GOP lawmakers, and right wing commenters who blame the lawful asylum seekers for what is being done to them.

7. What Republicans are speaking out against his actions/racism ? They will by default be trump support

They are already republicans +
they all will be trump republicans in silence when he tweets untermenschen. I do not think any will speak . They want this for the win

From my link post above
"Nixon used dog whistles to encourage Southern Democrats to become Republican. Donald Trump is using a bullhorn.
He is not trying to build a new coalition," Naftali said. "What he's doing is trying to transform the Republican Party into a Trumpist party."

He is going beyond the Republican Party and most members are happy to mutate or come out now.

8. Very true.

They support him by their words, and by their silence.
