"Donald Trump intensified his politics of nativism and xenophobia on Friday by announcing a sweeping plan to deport Venezuelans he claimed have 'infected' a once-peaceful city in Colorado."

Trump told his crowd and also tweeted his plans for "Operation Aurora" to begin immediately if he's elected. Claiming that illegal immigrants are terrorizing cities, he plans to round them up and deport them.

As David Smith reports,

"Aurora’s Republican mayor, Mike Coffman, called Trump’s claims [that illegal immigrants are terrorizing his community] 'grossly exaggerated' and insisted: 'The narrative is not accurate by any stretch of the imagination.'”

Trump continues to language right out of the Nazi playbook of immigrants "infecting" the US bloodstream:

“'We’re talking a lot about Venezuela, because Aurora is really infected by Venezuela, but they’re coming from all countries.'

The remark recalled past dehumanising language in which Trump claimed undocumented immigrants were 'poisoning the blood of our country' and, earlier this week, suggested that those suspected in homicide cases 'have bad genes'."

As Josh Marshall says about Trump's statements yesterday regarding: Operation Aurora,

"Straight up Aryan Nations content. No other way to put it."

"Donald Trump and MAGA are a right-wing authoritarian force who represent a fascist threat to democracy, and they are following Hitler’s playbook, even going so far as to use his own words, such as 'poisoning the blood,' when describing immigrants."

Unfortunately, the white supremacist, racist, xenophobic hate Trump, Vance, and their party are selling markets very well among Americans now worked to a fever pitch of hate that has many of us more than eager to attack and expel millions of immigrants.

As Oliver Laughland says in this video,

"As extremist policies become more popular, it's Donald Trump who stands to gain the most."

@wdlindsy

will MAGA be deporting scots/German immigrants who have infected Florida and DC?

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

The video shows Laughland interviewing people at a Pima County, Arizona, Republican rally and asking them if deporting millions of people would be humane. Repeatedly, they reply either directly or with other words, "I don't care."

They actively WANT the inhumanity and cruelty. Hitler and the Nazis did it and ushered in mass murder. You're choosing something like this for America?

"I don't care."

Laughland interviews Pima County Republican chair Steve Selvey, who says that Democrats say their goal is to replace the white majority with [brown and black] immigrants.

When Laughland then repeats back the phrase Selvey has just used — "the white majority" — Selvey bridles and says that introduces racism into the discussion.Though he's the one who had used that phrase….

@wdlindsy

can't imagine why not, could it be that skin colour is the criteria?

@wdlindsy
...and Trump is still just the reality TeeVee clown loose canon let loose to woo the eejits and bigots to fuck the US up for the [set of global and domestic predatory money grubbers] that want to prey on the remains of the US once he and the eejit Federalist Society cum Project 2025 theocrats have done it in.

Then there's this: see the posting below shared by a Threads user. The TW whose BlueSky post is being used is a Thomas from Birmingham, Alabama, whose surname I haven't been able to track — to give him full credit for his posting.

The hard work being done to help western North Carolina recover from Helene depends on the hard labor of immigrants. We would be far poorer without them.

@nrmacdonald Yes, Trump would be nothing without millions of xenophobic, hate-mongering Americans standing behind him. He is their face in the mirror.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Thebratdragon You may well be onto something!

[peachfront@toot.community]

@wdlindsy

these haters gonna be sorry if they chase out our immigrants because there are going to be PLENTY of other countries where people can be rebuilding

[virtualinanity@toot.community]

@wdlindsy and yet the Biden/harris response is “we deported more people than they did! We actually passed the Republican immigration plan!” I cannot emphasize enough how harmful centrism in America is when it’s call to action is “we’re like republicans but competent!”

[lanaehforaday@universeodon.com]

@wdlindsy

Good GOOD people!!

[mbwood@toad.social]

@wdlindsy yes. Central and Mexican immigrants rebuilt NOLA after Katrina.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@mbwood They absolutely did. Our cities would shut down and experience total chaos and hardship if immigrants were suddenly deported, as Trump promises and millions of Americans lust to see. The economy would be gutted.
