Republicans used to hate Nazis.

Damn I hate this timeline.

But his fucking kid won't do it with Trump, who is far more dangerous.

Also a little hypocritical since the GOP has always intentionally dog whistled to racism and could never get elected without it. David Duke was an easy target and this just looks like virtue signalling. This took no courage and risked no votes.

As opposed to Trump:

Ivana Trump said that Trump used to read and keep a book of Hitler speeches in a cabinet next to his bedside. When checked Trump confirmed that he had the book and a friend also confirmed he gave it to him:

"Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of 'Mein Kampf," [jump] Davis did acknowledge that he gave Trump a book about Hitler. "But it was 'My New Order,' Hitler's speeches, not 'Mein Kampf,'" Davis reportedly said."" - Article

PBS Frontline in their biography of him covered that he believes in superior people and subscribes to race-horse breeding theory when it comes to people.

At a September 18, 2020, rally in Bemidji, Minnesota, Trump told a mostly white audience, "You have good genes, you know that, right? You have good genes. A lot of it is about the genes, isn't it, don't you believe? The racehorse theory? You think we're so different. You have good genes in Minnesota." - Wikipedia

Retweeting white genocide accounts:

During the campaign Trump was found to have retweeted the main influencers of the #WhiteGenocide movement over 75 times, including twice that he retweeted a user with the handle @WhiteGenocideTM. - Wikipedia

Courting the alt-right to the point he made the person who ran one of their main media sites his campaign manager and chief whitehouse strategist

"The alt-right (abbreviated from alternative right) is a far-right, white nationalist movement." - Wikipedia

Trump himself references himself as a nationalist:

"You know, they have a word. It sort of became old-fashioned. It’s called a nationalist," he continued. "And I say, 'Really, we’re not supposed to use that word?' You know what I am? I'm a nationalist"

He also has outwardly made references on genetics:

"Some people cannot genetically handle pressure" [20 sec later] "I feel I have to be honest, there are people in this room that can genetically not handle the pressures" - Trump in 2011

From a 2010 CNN article:

"Well I think I was born with the drive for success because I have a certain gene, Trump told CNN's Becky Anderson. "I'm a gene believer... hey when you connect two race horses you get usually end up with a fast horse," he said during the Connect the World interview. "I had a good gene pool from the stand point of that so I was pretty much driven." - CNN, 2010

2015 Article from The Hill:

"in quip about his family’s genetic success. “Like they used to say, ‘Secretariat doesn’t produce slow horses,’ ” Trump joked that evening, citing his uncle’s tenure as a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I believe in the gene thing,” Trump added, pointing to his own success in real estate and his eventual billionaire status. - The Hill

Some of his staff seem to be aware of Trump's focus on genes.

"You know, you don't want to live with them either." - Trump referring to black people, during his rental discrimination case, which he lost - Wikipedia

Trump has also commented on racial traits:

"I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks." - Attributed to Trump in a 1991 book by former President of Trump Plaza Hotel, John R O'Donnell

Trump comment on O'Donnels book:

"Nobody has had worse things written about them than me,” Trump says. “And here I am. The stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true. The guy’s a fucking loser." Link

Wikipedia on Trump using racial hygiene rhetoric at rallies:

"Since fall 2023, Trump has repeatedly used racial hygiene rhetoric by stating that undocumented immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country", which has been compared to language echoing that of white supremacists and Adolf Hitler. He has also claimed that immigrants who have committed crimes have "bad genes""

Wikipedia on his campaign:

"As with his previous presidential campaigns, Trump's 2024 campaign has regularly espoused anti-immigrant nativist fearmongering, racial stereotypes, and dehumanized immigrants. In his rhetoric, Trump has blurred the distinction between legal and illegal immigrants, and has promised to deport both. Trump has repeatedly claimed that undocumented immigrants are subhuman, stating they are "not people", "not humans", and "animals". At rallies, Trump has stated that undocumented immigrants will "rape, pillage, thieve, plunder and kill" American citizens, that they are "stone-cold killers", "monsters," "vile animals", "savages", and "predators" that will "walk into your kitchen, they'll cut your throat" and "grab young girls and slice them up right in front of their parents". Trump's dehumanizing anti-immigrant rhetoric regularly features details of young women allegedly killed by Hispanic male assailants while ignoring male victims. Studies find no evidence that immigrants commit crimes at higher rates than native-born Americans, and Trump has not provided any evidence to back up his claims."

Couple days ago Trump suggested his supporters would beat up people opposing him even if they're their own kids:

Former President Donald Trump called for a protester at one of his rallies to “go back home to Mommy” to “get the hell knocked out of her,” [jump] "Trump continued, imitating the imagined mother: “‘Was that you, darling?’ And she gets the hell knocked out of her.” “Her mother’s a big fan of ours,” the former president finished before returning to his speech. “Her mother, her father.” - AP News on Trump's recent Coachella rally.

Crowd cheered.

“But I protect you from outside enemies. But you know I always say, we have the outside enemies, so you can say China, you can say Russia, you can say Kim Jong Un … if you have a smart president it’s no problem,” Trump said “It’s the enemy from within." "All the scum we have to deal with that hate our country,” “That’s a bigger enemy than China and Russia.… Everyday Americans like Cindy are living in fear all because Kamala Harris decided to empty the slums and prison cells of Caracas, and many other places. Happening all over the world.” “Every country, you know, prison populations all over the world are down. Crime all over the world is down. Because they take the world’s criminals, gang members, drug dealers, and they deposit them into the United States. Bus after bus after bus,” “They took the criminals out of Caracas, and they put them along your border, and they said if you ever come back, we’re going to kill you,” “Think of that!” he continued. “We have to live with these animals. But we won’t live with them for long!”

At that, one person in the crowd shouted, “Kill them!”

He's repeatedly retweeted white genocide accounts many times:

During the campaign Trump was found to have retweeted the main influencers of the #WhiteGenocide movement over 75 times, including twice that he retweeted a user with the handle @WhiteGenocideTM. - Wikipedia

Him wanting to use the military on the "enemies from within" and wants to do mass partisan purges of the government:

“We have two enemies. We have the outside enemy, and then we have the enemy from within. And the enemy from within, in my opinion, is more dangerous than China, Russia, and all those countries". - Trump

Among his examples of enemies within were Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi, and the Radical Left which is a catch all term he uses for the left.

“I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people,” he said on Fox’s Sunday Morning Futures programme. “It should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by the national guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen.” - Trump

Trumps former chief of staff of the Army and later his head of the Joint Chiefs of staff, Generally Milley, called Trump “fascist to the core” and referred to him as dangerous. Link. His Own Defense Secretary Esper also calls him dangerous Link, And so does his own Defense Secretary before him, General Mattis link
