'Very sinister': Trump stuns Republicans and Dems with on-air 'bad genes' rant

"Many of them murdered far more than one person," Trump declared. "A murderer, I believe this, it's in their genes. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now."

And he will still be normalized as a presidential candidate by this evenings news and by the country on election day.

I guess it’s that time of day to come to grips that the USA is ok with this.

It is almost like he is a Nazi.

NYT: "Did Trump say immigrants have 'bad genes'? MOSTLY FALSE. Trump was actually critiquing immigrants' choice in denim jeans."

Wow! The year is 2024, and the Republican candidate is running his platform on genetic cleansing. I did not-see this coming, who could have possibly predicted it?

He says this kind of crap literally every day. Didn't he say Harris voters would be in danger like, literally yesterday? It's not "stunning" anyone anymore, we're just supposed to act like people in power actually care that he's a xenophobic, narcissistic fascist. Headlines like this are supposed to comfort us into believing that those with power are actually stunned or upset by what he said. Every day? For eight+ years? Get the fuck out of here.

Won't someone please think of our leaders' pearls.

It's so sad so many will brush this off.

I cant be more ashamed then I am of my fellow country men. I knew shit was wrong growing up. I did my best to stay out of their way but to see it so clearly in their politics I just can't anymore. Americans are a ravenous people. We harbor them. We protect them. That is what we are.

Eugenics getting freely discussed by a presidential candidate. Shame on me. Shame on all of us.

Damn, it sounds like he's implying that we need to get rid of evangelical Christians - the largest crime committing block in America.

(Obviously we shouldn't get rid of any group based on such broad generalizations - he's a fucking asshole).

Weird for a man such as Trump to equate crime with bad genes. How many felonies does he have again? It'd be interesting to see how this guy would have turned out if he was born poor

I don't fucking get the right.

"Evolution is evil it says we're monkeys!"

"Genetics means we can have better blood lines!"

In case anyone isn’t getting it he’s calling for racial cleansing.

It's very funny that eugenicists always look inbred and disgusting

Remember when the right said comparisons to Hitler were unfair or inaccurate?

The Orange POS Nazi is copying 1920's, 30's and 40's Germany.

I can’t believe we’ve got a 50% chance that this racist motherfucker is going to be the next president.

Is history repeating itself this blatantly? And the people who are voting for him still believe they are morally correct.

Well yeah of course he’s going to bring out the eugenics, he surrounds himself with his fellow Nazis.

Blood libel, folks.

Ok but who's actually stunned by him

I’ve stopped bothering with links from RawStory. It’s all just ragebait headlines. There’s a nugget of truth and I’m encouraging everyone to vote blue up and down the ballot, but these AI generated articles aren’t really helping. There are a few sites that are the same all up and down, but this is one of the worst.

"You have seen people in this courtroom, you have seen them at this trial, you have met them in your life, have every reason to respect them, to love them, to appreciate them, except that maybe one of their ancestors going back and back and back to where perhaps they had ten thousand ancestors, and one of them was black or partly black, and he has to be a hewer of wood and drawer of water and all of his generation, to the end of time to be cursed that way by those who think their blood is pure.

Of course, the marvel of it is that there is not any such thing as pure blood.

How far can you go back in yours, how far can I go back in mine? I knew who my father was and who my mother was, and I know who all four of my grandparents were, but when I get back of that I am lost in obscurity and night. I know they came from New England. I hate to admit it, but they did,--pure Nordic.

MR. TOMS: New England Nordic?

MR. DARROW: New England Nordic. Isn’t it awful? I know it. I had to bear it and get along with it the best I could for all these years. For all I know they may have been related to Jonathan Edwards. From there they go back to England, but what of it? Gentlemen, I don’t know where they came from back of that or that far, and I know that back of me and back of you is an infinite ancestry stretching away back at least five hundred thousand years, and we are made up of everything on the face of the earth, of all kinds and colors and degrees of civilization, and out of that come we.

Who are we, any of us, to be boastful above our fellows?"

Something I've noticed more and more is how prevalent killing, murder and death is in Hollywood produced media. The vast majority of popular movies and series either start, involve or end with somebody being killed. And its almost laughable how high the disregard of human life is portrayed to the masses. Look at any other motion picture productions, say Korean, Indian, French, British, etc., even a single person dying in a story is seen as a very huge deal. Same thing goes for violence in general. Even if the character decides to take the high ground and not kill their nemesis, they still die in the end by other means.

I think this image of death has led a lot of Americans to adapt the attitude of "It's fine, as long it doesn't happen to ME.", which in return can be capitalized on by telling them "It's fine we're not talking about YOU but about a THEM.". They've seen people die on a screen so many times that if it happens for real and is shown on the news, it is regarded as entertainment rather than a horrific tragedy.

Seriously, in classical storytelling often times the whole story revolves around a single death. But in Hollywood the scenes often involve something along the lines of [good guy takes out a bunch of bad guys]. This could also be why US gun culture has gone absolutely insane over the last 30 years. They all want to be the cool action hero taking out the bad guys, but forget that their hero is a sociopathic murderer by all standards.

I'm a Republican whos NOT a Nazi but he's RIGHT!
