    Do I think Trump would march Latinos to the gas chamber? No. Is he using Hitler silent majority, us vs them, I'm gonna make America great again by building a wall and banning Muslims, Muslims are the problem, Mexicans are rapists tactics? Yes. They are straight out of Mein Kampf. They are the same tactics Hitler used to gain power.

    What did you come outta your bomb shelter to quip about? He's talking about rounding up Mexicans. Some of them will undoubtedly be legal citizens who will be persecuted for simply being brown. You guys say government can't do shit right but you trust it to correctly and safely round up 11 million without harming the innocent?

    He's literally talking about rounding up families and displacing them.

    And Mexico is gonna pay for it all...

    Hitler didn't rise to power telling the masses the attrocities he would carry out.

    There have to be other politicians who have used hot button topics to get elected. Using Hitler is just such a gross exaggeration at this point. He has a long way to go before we can even remotely compare the two men.

    Fair enough. He's still a racist in my view, and in those kids' view as well. He is who they're protesting.

    But please don't act like when a demand to see birth certificates and rounding people up is suggested, that Hitler comparisons aren't suggested as well.

    You know who rounded people up? FDR. Nobody talks about that dude when there is talk of rounding people up, and he did it in the United States of America.

    Oh come now Nate! FDR is well into the Beautification process. No liberal will even squeak.

    I do hate to think what would have happen though, if the Japanese Americans had not been kept isolated. The hateful talk was real and often, American guys wounded were coming back to the states in ship loads. A frightful number a families were notified of their missing one, KIA daily, especially here on the West Coast. Battle after battle, Iwo Jima, 27000 casualties, Okinawa even more, 360,000 casualties to the sailors of the fleet.

    Terrible the way the government treated the Japanese, but they did survive.

    Seriously, what the fuck are you even talking about?

    No, I have no pain. I'm still cracking up over this. There are no scabs or pain or baggage or whatever else you're trying to project. I've brought up racial incidents that I've witnessed directed at my father 3 or 4 times in the forum as they directly related to the conversation. This isn't a soap box, this is life. All to often we get these black and white arguments in here. There are some in here who have claimed that they've never witnessed racism first hand. Or when it is racism it was some how justified.

    What is even more hilariously interesting is when the denial of racism doesn't work then suddenly a pivot occurs, "Hey, I'm a victim of racism too. No one cared about me, why should I care about them!"

    Look at you, your daughter was a victim of racism, your father was a picked on immigrant, and now suddenly it turns out that even you were some how a victim because of Gaelic something or other.

    My point in mentioning my father is not to claim he was or is a victim, its that there are idiots out there and those idiots can be dangerous. (No, I'm not calling you an idiot.)

    My father is not a victim. He came here and through hard work and a little luck found and achieved everything he wanted in life. I look at my father with pride.

    We now have people patrolling the border themselves, the only authority they have to do this is self appointed. If we start this grand removal of all illegals can you honestly say that there won't be self appointed enforcers of this? Roaming patriots on the lookout for dem dirty illegals? That's my concern. I've seen first hand people make wrong assumptions based only on an accent and then precede to act like fucking assholes based on those wrong assumptions. The last thing I want is to see these idiots embolden to act out even more.

    They are high school kids. Of course they do.

    Some dont and are trying to make a change and thats fine. But some kids are little shits and only care about getting out of class.

    Your dad is a good man sly. I commend anyone that comes here the right way and works his ass off for a better life. Good for him.

    What are you talking about?

    Are you saying some high school kids arent little shits? Of course they are. Its ignorant to think at least some of them used it as a time to skip class. Obviously many chose to protest, im not denying that.

    Yes we do, and that is a direct result of the government, specifically the recent administrations not doing the job they should, enforcing the law.
    Individuals should not need to take up the task themselves. Trump promised to do the job, free lance citizens should not be needed if he follows through as he should.

    Now. I am done with this, I hope you are too.
