That assertion is quite clearly delusional as millions and millions of LEGAL immigrants are various different races/ethnicities.

There seems to be quite a number of people who just aren't right in the head. How does mass delusion/hysteria happen?

Oh, BS. Where was he when the Obama Administration was putting kids in cages (the photos that were circulated and falsely attributed to Trump)?

I saw on CNN that Trump now even has camps. He is just like Hitler!

It's not called "mass hysteria" when actual existing facts raise genuine human concern about the subversion of our democratic electoral process by an Alt-Right narcissistic tyrannical and dictatorial racist who colludes with another tyrannical dictatorial tyrant of an adversarial foreign government.

I'm quite certain that President Obama had the decency NOT to cage children.

Therefore, provide links to your suspect allegations or I'll just assume the inevitable....

Your allegation is false just like all the rest of your usual BS!

If that's what you consider an "actual existing fact," I'm sure you'll have no problem posting the link to the immigration bill that limits legal immigration to "white people only."

And, naturally, you'd be wrong...

"The images that had been shared on social media by liberal activists, according to The Hill, showed children in cages alongside the claim that they were undocumented immigrant children who were being detained by the Trump administration.

But the pictures were taken in 2014, several years before Trump took office—meaning they were taken during Obama’s second term in the White House.

Among those who shared the pictures, which were taken by Associated Press, was Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau, who later deleted the images after it emerged they were old and had first been published by The Arizona Republic in 2014."

I agree and always try to ignore the fact to fit my narrative. Even though those photos of children in cages have been shown to have been taken during the Obama administration, I still feel the need to deny that fact. Of course, it helps that the MSM has downplayed that fact and continued to allow people to think otherwise, which helps me to continue to push my own narrative.

See what I mean? It's mass hysteria, exactly as described earlier:

This is a well-written piece from a Jewish woman, who from her credit, appears to be a student or teacher at Pennsylvania State U. It's from May 2016, but never more relevant as comparisons between Trump and Hitler proliferate from the left. I have actually heard Holocaust survivors quoted as being offended by the comparisons, but unfortunately can't lay my finger on such a quote now.


But this piece will do to make the argument. An excerpt:
She is a writer whose other works typically involve comparing wed and the city to rush week.

And for the record being jewish does not make you an expert on the holocaust let alone qualified to determine whether or not the current political climate mirrors what happened in fascist Germany.

Jews are not all the same, some are liberal, some are conservative, some are actual experts in this field and other write puff pieces claiming that the "real housewives can get you through finals".

Meanwhile actual holocaust survivors have a wildly different opinion than a sorority member and communications major whose only qualification you espouse is her "jewishness". Shame one you.

I am trying to figure out where I made any ad hominem comments. The only possible ONE I can see is that I identified the writer as Jewish. However, I did not say nor imply that this bolstered her case in any way. I simply quoted from her piece, and let it speak for itself. Therefore this does not constitute 'ad hominem.' What other ad hominem do you see from me? I will certainly say 'stand corrected' if so.


You clearly meant to imply that the writer was discredited by listing her other work. That is indeed ad hominem. How is it not? You tried to discredit her piece about Trump via reference to other, unrelated pieces.

Well I'm not Jewish, but I'm a Democrat and I think these comparisons are helpful because they convince some people that Trump is like Hitler, and any bad news for Trump is good news for me, since he's trying to ruin my business by ending my endless supply of unskilled labor.
