REASON FOR ALERT

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

We shouldn't go here.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Nov 20, 2015, 07:34 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Trump a kinder gentler fascism.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Not sure why the alerter thinks we shouldn't go here. Trump is calling for identity badges for Muslims; it's absolutely a step down this road, and for the protection of Muslim's civil rights, we need to call it out as such.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter should review what alerts are for. There is nothing wrong with this post. Trump is a fascist. Hitler and the Nazis were fascist. This a an accurate comparison.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Is DU defending Nazis now? Trump is modeling policy after the Nazis. *He* went there already. We can't pretend it away.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Yes, we should (go here).
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: We didn't go there, Trump did.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

3. What the everloving fuck? We shouldn't go here?

I mean, the anti-Muslim bigotry has been particularly noxious on DU these last few days, but who the fuck would alert this?

I'm close to fucking speechless. At least it got a 7-0 leave.

Good God.

[valerief]

5. I know. I was amazed someone would alert on it but was glad the jury was in agreement.

I think some people are just fucking around here.

[napkinz]

8. Trump ...

He calls Mexican immigrants rapists.

He wants to round up and deport 11 million immigrants, tearing apart families that have been here for years.

He wants to close down mosques and implement a database system to track Muslims in this country.

So what was the person who alerted on this thread not comprehending?

[Aerows]

20. No kidding!

Who in the hell would think this is worthy of an alert!?

[napkinz]

34. probably a troll who is no longer with us

(hopefully tombstoned)

[uppityperson]

14. WTF? Yes, alerter, we SHOULD and NEED to go there.

[Aerows]

21. Agreed!

Wanting people to wear badges and carry ID cards, etc.

That shit has been done before, and it is NOT a place we ever need to go again.

That's where we don't NEED to go - carrying out such lunacy!

I can't believe someone alerted on this and didn't realize the striking similarities between then and now with regard to Trump's idiotic rhetoric.

28. Donald Trump Has Gone Full Nazi – And If The GOP Doesn’t Repudiate It They Own It

November 20, 2015

If the Republican Party is ever going to wake up and shut down this misanthropic racist it had better be now. Donald Trump’s latest hateful howling has crossed a line of indecency that is impossible to ignore. And Godwin be damned, he is articulating Nazi rhetoric on a scale not seen since the originals.

Just yesterday Trump told Yahoo News that he would support the development of databases and other systems to track and monitor people in the United States on the basis of their religion. He did not rule out forcing Muslims to have identifying papers or badges. Perhaps he would make them wear a star and crescent in the manner that Hitler’s Nazis made Jews wear the Star of David. From Yahoo: “We’re going to have to — we’re going to have to look at a lot of things very closely,” Trump said when presented with the idea. “We’re going to have to look at the mosques. We’re going to have to look very, very carefully.”

This grotesque policy position fits nicely with his prior statement that he believes it may be necessary to close mosques in America. He said that “there’s absolutely no choice” because “some really bad things are happening.” Apparently one of the “really bad things” isn’t the assault on our Constitution’s First Amendment guaranteeing freedom of religion. But that’s not all, Trump also told Yahoo News that ...

"We’re going to have to do things that we never did before. And some people are going to be upset about it, but I think that now everybody is feeling that security is going to rule,” Trump said. “And certain things will be done that we never thought would happen in this country in terms of information and learning about the enemy. And so we’re going to have to do certain things that were frankly unthinkable a year ago.”

2. would really like to know

Who alerted on this?

[alcibiades_mystery]

4. I'm sure it's one of our recent "experts" on Islam who've been pushing the same policy

on this board the last few days.

We're through the fucking looking glass.

This is the correct comparison.

7. Clueless, and dangerous.

Then, there's the outright theocrats:

Ben Carson
Mike Huckabee
Ted Cruz <== a true looney toon

And the Ayn Rand worshipper:

Rand Paul <== he's even named after that lunatic woman.

The rest of them are no better, mainly because the GOP has been taken over by Christian fundamentalists and any candidate professing to be a presidential candidate must bow to almighty Jesus -- THIS IS A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY!!!! Either that or Reaganomics -- trickle down.

We let this party into power at our collective peril.

Meanwhile here on DU, we are infighting over our Democratic primary, which has got to be the most useless enterprise I have ever witnessed (the infighting, not the Democratic primary).

If we lose next year, since the GOP has virtually the rest of the country -- the state legislatures, the governorships, the US Senate, the US House of Representatives -- Jenny bar the doors. We are all screwed. BTW, SCOTUS hangs by a thread. Does anybody have to remind DU what happens there if the GOP gains the Oval Office in 2017?

Can one say, buh-bye democracy, hello theocracy? Or something equally mad.

I do not give a fuck which Democratic candidate gets the nomination. Whichever Dem will be better a check and balance to the lunacy that has a huge majority of the rest of the government bodies in our country. If I have a preference, I will not divulge it here, due to the utter mayhem right now.

Granted, we are likely to take back the US Senate next year, just by the numbers. But the rest will be very difficult. If we lose the White House, it could be game over.

Think before you accuse a fellow DUer of not wanting to work for the party. We are all together on this and we divide at our collective peril. We are lucky that we have three pretty damned smart and competent candidates, any of which would account themselves very well.

Just think of the stakes. Fervently support your choice in the primaries. But we have to come together for the general election. The alternative is far too horrible to imagine. Dubya is a piker compared to the result if the GOP gains the Oval Office in 2017.

16. from what others have written, Republicans are already talking about a winning strategy of

blaming a terrorist attack in this country on the president and Democrats for not passing the House Republican Syrian refugee bill. They aren't saying it outright, but it seems they want a terrorist attack. Republicans know how to exploit fear and tragedy for political gain.

One person wrote we are "one terrorist attack from a complete GOP takeover." And they are right. This country just might vote for a Trump if we had an attack weeks or months before the election.

A President Trump ...

[longship]

17. We are, indeed, in a very precarious position politically.

We are very, very close to losing it all.

the GOP winning strategy: "All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

25. Goring and Goebbels

are the patron saints of the modern Repig party.

[napkinz]

29. perhaps we should start calling the Republican candidates for president "The Boys from Brazil"

[napkinz]

23. ...

[napkinz]

36. oops, responded to wrong reply nt

[gratuitous]

11. And he's always real short on the specifics

It's going to be "management" or "planning" or some other b-school buzzword that will accomplish whatever his latest hare-brained scheme is. T Rump never talks specifics, because he knows it would be the death of so many of his grandiose plans.

On NBC Nightly News, even Chuck Todd ventured the heresy that perhaps T Rump had gone too far.

[napkinz]

19. "management" and "planning"

like "resettlement" and "final solution"

all euphemisms

[BlueStater]

13. Good god. That quote of his in the third picture.

I know he has a limited vocabulary but Jesus fucking Christ. I've met children who can talk better than this asshole.

22. Donald Trump Talks Like a Third-Grader

By Jack Shafer
August 13, 2015

Donald Trump isn’t a simpleton, he just talks like one. If you were to market Donald Trump’s vocabulary as a toy, it would resemble a small box of Lincoln Logs. Trump resists multisyllabic words and complex, writerly sentence constructions when speaking extemporaneously in a debate, at a news conference or in an interview. He prefers to link short, blocky words into other short, blocky words to create short, blocky sentences that he then stacks into short, blocky paragraphs.

The end result of Trump’s word choice is less the stripped-down prose style of Ernest Hemingway than it is a spontaneous reinvention of Ogden’s Basic English, the pared-down lexicon of 850 words selected by early 20th century linguist/philosopher C.K. Ogden as the bedrock of a new world language. In the August 6th Republican candidates debate, Trump answered the moderators’ questions with linguistic austerity. Run through the Flesch-Kincaid grade-level test, his text of responses score at the 4th-grade reading level. For Trump, that’s actually pretty advanced. All the other candidates rated higher, with Ted Cruz earning 9th-grade status. Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee, and Scott Walker scored at the 8th-grade level. John Kasich, the next-lowest after Trump, got a 5th-grade score.

Trump’s low grade at the debates wasn’t a fluke. His comments from an August 11 news conference in Michigan earned only a 3rd-grade score.

Flattening the English language whenever he speaks without a script, Trump relies heavily on words such as “very” and “great,” and the pronouns “we” and “I,” which is his favorite word. As any news observer can observe, he lives to diminish his foes by calling them “losers,” “total losers,” “haters,” “dumb,” “idiots,” “morons,” “stupid,” “dummy” and “ disgusting.” He can’t open his mouth without bragging about getting the Clintons to attend his wedding, about how smart he is, the excellence of his real estate projects, the brilliance of his TV show, his generous donations to other political campaigns and so on. In a freakish way, Trump resembles that of Muhammad Ali at his prime—except the champ was always kidding (even when he was right) while Trump seems to believe his claims (and often is wrong). Or perhaps he is afflicted with binary vision disorder, which renders all within his eyeshot either great or rotten.

26. Trump is nuttier than a Christmas fruitcake

And is a full-blown hypocrite. It's our duty to make sure he never wins the election. We'll all be screwed if he gets in.
