Trump's social media account shares a campaign video with a headline about a 'unified Reich'
apnews.com
Trump has a very long history of using this kind of thing to say what the campaign is thinking about doing.
If you want to stop that kind of fascist outcome, about the only real option is to make sure Biden gets reelected and has a Democratic congress to help him.
That means three things:
- Double-check your voter registration. Turned 18? Register. Moved? Register. Changed name? Register. Live in a state where Republicans might have purged your registration? Check your registration
- Volunteer. That means in-person if you can. Phone bank if you can't.
- Kick in what money you can. To the Biden campaign and to a close house or close senate race.
That’s not a dogwhistle. That’s a dogsiren.
The dog nazi party
Reich on time.
America: I did Nazi that coming
Let's entertain the idea that an unknown staffer accidentally missed the word... Why was the word even there in the first place?? It really shouldn't be necessary to check your drafts or templates for accidental nazi references.
When a campaign hires staffers like Stephen Miller, and the candidate has said neo-nazis and white supremacists are fine people, that right there is likely the reason.
"At least one of the headlines flashing in the video appears to be text that is copied verbatim from a Wikipedia entry on World War I: “German industrial strength and production had significantly increased after 1871, driven by the creation of a unified Reich.”
That's definitely a strange thing to go searching to put on your propaganda piece. IDK who actually made the video though.
Reminds me of a joke "now I'm not saying the president is a Nazi, all I'm saying is Nazis love the president."
Even if it references the unification of germany in the 19th century there's no way most of his base thinks of that Reich when seeing the word.
Right Wingers when Joe Biden stood behind some Red lighting: "This is the end of our republic, this man is evil."
Right Wingers when Trump is using Nazi messaging for the 100th time: "Mainstream media is always lying, Fake news fellow patriots."
Conservative cognitive dissonance is wild.
Hates Jews. Defends Israel to the death.
You have to wonder if they even know that Israel is full of Jews...
they like apartheid
A large portion also think that it's a requirement for the apocalypse, which, being a doomsday cult, they are actively trying to achieve.
I'm, unfortunately, aware. But I see the Lebensraum motivation as a bigger effect.
I recommend rejecting the line between selfish scammer, evil, and extremely ignorant. There's a Venn diagram for these people and it rolls smoothly.
It seems these two statements are in contradiction. Also. It was totally a staffer who didn't see the bits about a reich. Yeah. it was an honest mistake, and not even more nazi rhetoric from the orange turd that has been using nazi rhetoric since his first presidential campaign...
I would have been shocked seven years ago. Now, knowing him today I am not.
I stopped being surprised by Nazi trump around the $88 baseball and the '14 word' immigrant bill.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
NEW YORK (AP) — A video posted to Donald Trump’s account on his social media network Monday included references to a “unified Reich” among hypothetical news headlines if he wins the election in November.
It was posted and shared on the former president’s Truth Social account while he was on a lunch break from his Manhattan hush money trial.
Earlier this month, Trump said at a fundraiser that Biden is running a “Gestapo administration,” referring to the secret Nazi police force.
Trump previously used rhetoric echoing Adolf Hitler when he said immigrants entering the U.S. illegally are “poisoning the blood of our country,” and called his opponents “vermin.”
At least one of the headlines flashing in the video appears to be text that is copied verbatim from a Wikipedia entry on World War I: “German industrial strength and production had significantly increased after 1871, driven by the creation of a unified Reich.”
In one image, the headlines “Border Is Closed” and “15 Million Illegal Aliens Deported” appear above smaller text with the start and end dates of World War I.
The original article contains 377 words, the summary contains 180 words. Saved 52%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I look forward to the enlightened and unifying rule of Fürer Trumpf and have never, not once, questioned his mental faculties, business acumen, or bladder strength.
Not to downplay this and I'm still concerned but it seems like they used this template but didn't bother editing it out.

If that's what they started with, they managed to make significant edits, notably rescaling and moving the "unified third reich" text way to the left, while choosing to leave it in the final video.
Yea its very fucking sus they decided not to remove that headline
Is there a link to the video in question? I didn't see one in the article
Did this include the video?
Gee... I guess most people in the US haven't yet realized why the US is constantly "defending" itself by sowing mass-murder and misery in everybody else's countries?
Either that... or liberals are just really sore at Trump for saying the quiet part out loud.
