Trump about people's gender

Trump about sexuality

I wonder if he knows that the Nazis also went after lgbtq people.

When a guy you’re supporting blatantly plagiarizes their rhetoric, it’s probably something he should be aware of.

Edit: also, everyone was misled about WMD’s in Iraq. By the bush admin.

This dude is lying to everyone who will listen, including himself, lol.

True republican through and through

Nazis had all sorts of different collaborators, I guarantee some Democrats are Nazis.

They used to say that they believed in freedom of religion, but that Islam wasn't a religion but an ideology. It was just a talking point from the 25 point platform with jew replaced with muslim. Now they just say that the founders didn't actually mean separation of church and state.

Technically true since he doesn’t care about anyone but himself. The people he’s surrounded with, however, care an awful lot.

Of course he doesn't care about people's gender or sexuality. He only cares about 1 thing and that is himself. He couldn't give a shit if every other American died as long as he wins. He's just using whatever he can to get more idiots to vote for him.

Alternative title: delusional person seemingly needs to read up on the Night of the Long Knives. The "log cabin republicans" will be some of the first up against the wall when the Sons of Jacob seize power, believe that.

Someone should tell him about a guy named Martin Niemöller.

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ernst Rohm seems more fitting

yeah right. only gay speaker.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Only (openly) gay speaker.

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Oh... Wait, wait, wait! I get guys! He's saying Trump literally doesn't care about your race, gender rights, or sexuality, because if you're gay, trans, brown, or whatever you're wrong and evil!

Phew...

I thought they had actually decided that all those lousy subhumans were actually equal or something... It'd be a shame if there was some sort of fake news website documenting all the times Trump stripped away basic human rights from minorities... That'd be terrible!
