"Makes us look like Nazis": Trump allies asked to stop talking about mass deportation "camps"

[groundloop]

Source: Salon

Donald Trump’s allies have been told to stop saying the quiet part out loud.

Rolling Stone reports that MAGA associates have been asked to stop using the word “camps” to describe potential facilities that would be used to house people rounded up in a massive deportation operation.

“I have received some guidance to avoid terms, like ‘camps,’ that can be twisted and used against the president, yes,” one Trump ally told the outlet. “Apparently, some people think it makes us look like Nazis.”

Advisers have cautioned surrogates and allies to keep the charged term out of their remarks, Rolling Stone claims, to avoid “the concentration camps framing” that dogged Trump's campaign. Coupled with Trump's heated rhetoric comparing undocumented immigrants to “animals” and saying they are “poisoning the blood of our country,” detractors didn't need to reach too far to find parallels to Nazi Germany.

1. How about "concentration resorts"? n/t

[JoseBalow]

10. This made me laugh out loud!

[Harker]

17. They might try it! n/t

[Evolve Dammit]

24. has such a better feel to it??

[Harker]

36. Exactly.

Who wouldn't want to go to a place like that?

[groundloop]

40. Right wingers are very well practiced at messaging (ex. slaves learned valuable skills).

[Harker]

49. Yes, but it only rings true with the brainwashed.

We roll our eyes.

[jcboon]

75. Bill

Exactly!

[wnylib]

63. German Nazis actually did that. Theresienstadt, the resort ghetto

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theresienstadt_Ghetto_and_the_Red_Cross

[Harker]

69. We see a cynical atrocity.

They see precedent.

[wnylib]

79. For today's MAGAs, Nazi Germany and fascist Italy are

blueprints for a perfect society.

[Harker]

80. I'm left wondering if they're going to start wearing blue uniforms with red ties...

and way too much gold braid.

[wnylib]

83. Maybe some ugly combination like you see at their rallies

like a shirt with a swastika in front and Confederate flag on the back.

Or a US flag with the felon's face on it.

[Harker]

84. Ugh. The mugshot. n/t

[no_hypocrisy]

2. REX-84, y'know?

30. I had never heard of that. A side gun running operation to Iran-Contra

That’s thick with rabbit holes. Thanks.

[TexasBushwhacker]

55. Reagan administration, of course n/t

[TBF]

3. "Apparently" ...

fucking morons.

[Traildogbob]

4. Haaaaaaa!!!

Looks like Nazis???? Have they seen Stephen Miller and Bannon????

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. The truth hurts.

Effin' Nazis.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Make Nazis look like Nazis. Yeah I can see where Nazis would want to avoid that. /nt

[Ocelot II]

7. "Apparently, some people think it makes us look like Nazis."

Um, yeah; actually it does. Are you saying you did Nazi that coming?

[Lovie777]

8. It would kill the economy......

[SWBTATTReg]

12. Yes, it would. And we don't have enough people to fill the jobs today as it is. Idiots. They are so fixated on

the 'immigration' issue, that they ignore everything else. Alabama could tell them what happens to their crops rotting in the fields etc. after they passed a restrictive immigration policy there. And I don't think they still resolved it yet. Sure, go ahead and have your crops rotting in the fields, have your farmers suffering when their crops are rotting in the fields. And I thought republicans loved their farmers...you sure couldn't tell it from the way they talk up a storm.

Idiots. Just plain idiots.

[Skittles]

35. that might change when repukes crash the economy

and you KNOW that is coming

[hadEnuf]

38. Yes, all the Trump supporters can enjoy their $10.99 heads of lettuce

[Skittles]

41. it kills me

you have to wonder just what happened to make people so easily manipulated

[SWBTATTReg]

50. Yes, sadly. We have seen this same ol' story before.

Idiots.

[FakeNoose]

48. They don't care if they kill the economy, as long as their enemies get punished

[jcboon]

77. Bill

Exactly! Apparently the 45&47 supporters don't need Einstein's statement about insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.

[lostnfound]

56. Possibly that's a feature, not a bug. Nt

[JoseBalow]

9. Hey, if the shoe fits. As if they AREN'T Nazis LOL!

Gimme a break.

Remember the fabricated rhetoric around the alleged Obama FEMA camps? This time it's real talk with real plans, out in the open for all of us to see.

Trying to control the message won't hide the reality of it.

[Solly Mack]

11. It's too late

[DSandra]

13. Oh are they giddy to fill them up with not just immigrants....

But who he calls “the enemy within”…

This is the end result of a stupid electorate: a loss of freedoms.

[dchill]

14. It is what it is.

[bronxiteforever]

[Marthe48]

16. If the brown shirt fits ---

[Karasu]

19. ...Because everything else they're doing DOESN'T make them look like Nazis. LOL

[EarthFirst]

20. Or what...

[deminks]

21. If it quacks like a duck......nt

[raccoon]

[republianmushroom]

[surfered]

23. Yup. Looks like, talks like, acts like....

[Iggo]

25. But ya are, Blanche.

[Turbineguy]

26. We can be Nazis, they just can't look like it.

[Dem2theMax]

[sarge43]

28. Sorry Repugs, all the lipstick in the world can't make that pig look good. n/t

[Blue Full Moon]

29. If it looks like a duck.

Quacks like a duck. Walks like a duck. It must be a duck.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

31. Nazis

[paleotn]

32. Sorry, boys, but that horse done bolted and you can't get 'em back.

Oh...and you look like nazis because your ARE fucking nazis.

[AlexSFCA]

33. what if those are gonna turn to concentration camps

(final solution) to save money on deportation, etc. I wouldn’t be surprised by anything with this administration.

[wnylib]

64. Perhaps there never was any intention to deport them.

Perhaps the camps are the end goal.

[travelingthrulife]

81. Exactly. really cheap labor.

[wnylib]

82. Germany used the same tactic in gaining public support

for concentration camps. They described the camps as temporary detainment centers for the deportation of non citizens and criminals.

The non citizens turned out to be Jews AFTER their citizenship was revoked. The criminals turned out to be anyone who disagreed with the Nazi police state.

The camps and ghettos were intentionally squalid, lacking food and sanitation, so that people would die off from disease and starvation while being used as slave labor. When the survivors were deported, it was to death camps.

[Skittles]

34. HELLO! YOU *ARE* NAZIS

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DavidDvorkin]

37. If the jackboot fits ...

[electric_blue68]

39. 🤔..... If the shoe fits...

"...look like..."



bastards

[usonian]

42. Does that mean removing swastika and SS tattoos?

Asking for a fiend.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

43. Trump and MAGA did Nazi that coming.

[relayerbob]

44. That barn door was already left open

[NameAlreadyTaken]

45. But they're so shy about this issue:

[PortTack]

46. Shoe fits...f..king wear it!

[Aussie105]

47. Softly, softly, and hope no one notices!

But if you build a camp or 10, surround them with guards and barbed wire, then populate each with undocumented aliens, you really have created a nice group of

CONCENTRATION CAMPS.

If it talks like a Nazi and acts like a Nazi, don't you dare call him a NAZI to his face!

But I'm sure the faithful will stop believing their lying eyes and trust the R leadership.
So they will be fine with it.

[CousinIT]

51. NOW they're worried about looking like Nazis?

[LudwigPastorius]

52. Nobody has to "make" you look like Nazis, you...

goose-stepping socksuckers.

Own your pathetic, hate-filled ideology.

[duncang]

53. TFG's Restricted movement resorts.

Airfare, meals, and lodging all inclusive resort.

54. Did somebody have djt sitdown and read George Orwell's 1984

[NBachers]

57. Look at the bright side! They'll finally get interested in expanding the size and quality of our rail systems.

Not to mention all the children who can be siphoned off and shipped out to their new . . . "sponsors."

[ET Awful]

58. Just in case y'all forgot, the original plan of the Nazis was

The Madagascar Plan. That being to deport all the Jews in Europe to Madagascar. Their other plans came after they realized that type of mass deportation wasn't feasible.

People need to read on history. . . Too bad they don't teach it in school anymore.

[markbark]

65. Hey, if the brownshirt fits

[JT45242]

67. a rose by any other name...

They already said the quiet parts out loud and somehow won the house, senate, and presidency.

Why bother to sugar coat it now. The plurality of Americans are ok with Nazis and liars running the country.

After you win, you can say whatever you want. Especially if you plan to make it "so you won't need to vote ever again."

They went all Nazi in Madison square garden and won the election.

[City Lights]

68. If the look fits, wear it. nt
