I hate the guy with every fiber of my being, but this story has been probably the only one where I absolutely don't care mainly because I know his base and I know how lazy and unprofessional his staff is. I'm like 90% sure this actually wasn't intentional and they were too lazy to analyze the whole thing.
It IS troubling that all the Nazis that would make this content really like Trump...
Just like the $88 baseball.
Or the 1488 children lost.
Or the 14 word immigration statement.
Just one more in a long line of accidental nazi dog whistles.
The first two I agree thats very sus, but the last one i am a bit lost. And i know the dog whistles, just don't know what you're point out exactly.
It's a fairly overt reference to the white supremacist 14 words phrase. See this medium article for a good explanation
I don't think the problem is having published it. I think the problem is having had those words pronounced and recorded.
It's one thing being a racist fascist. It's another having the gal to admit it in private. It's a whole other plate to admit it in front of a camera.
Its okay if you didnt read the article, most people dont bother to. But maybe don't jump into the discussion pretending like you did...
I got a summary out of it, which confirmed I didn't need to read the article. I see this as a win! But yeah, I tend not to read articles about Trump and talking out of my ass afterwards, mea culpa.
The point is that they didn't, it was a video made by some anonymous internet asshole that they republished uncritically. It's a very uninteresting story.
The words were in the text of a (real) headline shown in the video.
There are local election candidates who have manages tonnecer post Nazi propaganda despite less staff and less financial backing. At a certain point it's not just incompetence. Its willful. That point was passed during his term, not recently.
Its just a shame that so many can be willfully ignorant or brush it off as you are. It should be consequential. Its like social media companies saying they don't have the funds to properly moderate with staff. Yet newspapers managed for generations. They seem to always have enough staff to take advertising money.
In this case its not turning a blind eye. Its magnifying damaging voices.
What analysis is there to be done here? How often do you hear people actually say Reich.
This is a key aspect of Trumpism: it’s all about the grift and that means the shortest path to money.
