"Reminiscent of Hitler’s grotesque propaganda, where Jews were cast as vermin, stripped of their humanity so that no one would care when they were disappeared, the Trump apparatus is manufacturing the same cruelty, recast for modern America. The new 'vermin' are the immigrants. The undocumented. The vulnerable. The desperate."

@wdlindsy@toad.social"They’re painted not as people, but as animals. As monsters. As rapists. As the scourge of American society. The messaging isn’t accidental. It is the exact kind of dehumanization that makes cruelty palatable, even desirable. ...
This is the playbook. This has always been the playbook. Turn the masses against the vulnerable. Make cruelty the point. Then repeat the lie until the truth chokes on its own breath."

"There is the idea of othering and ... you can see the way the administration began these flights with individuals that they believed they had constructed this image of them as these terrible human beings.

"The reason I think we're at the numbers we're at is because this movement has been building a very long time. And one of the things that we need to do when we reclaim America and an America for everybody is to push these people back under the rock they came from. Because that's really where this kind of mentality should be in a healthy society. They'll always be there, but they shouldn't be running everything."

"In the shadow of mid-20th-century atrocities, George Orwell warned us in his indispensable essay, 'Politics and the English Language,' that political speech often serves primarily to defend the indefensible through 'euphemism, question-begging, and sheer cloudy vagueness.' Today, this warning rings truer than ever.

"In a stark recasting of Orwell’s original insight, in 2024 it was not Trump and his MAGA allies who cloaked their intentions in euphemism and ambiguity. Instead, it was mainstream media, pollsters, and political consultants who retreated into vagueness—minimizing or outright ignoring Trump's explicit threats in an effort to avoid accusations of bias, partisanship, or alarmism."
