To me, it is both surprising and appalling how many Americans have made it obvious that they would have supported Hitler’s rise to power.

"If you took Trump's statements about immigrants and replaced the words for "immigrant" with the words for "Jew", what would you see?"

As Moira Donegal reminds us, Trump's plan to round up immigrants, put them into camps, and deport them is a "moral abomination," no matter how many white Christians lust for it and how the corporate media whitewash it.

"What is being proposed is a vast cruelty, a human tragedy, and a costly national investment in racism."

Trump’s proposal for mass deportation of immigrants is a moral abomination

This would be a horrific program of ethnic cleansing – yet most of the media reaction has focused on the economic costs

Russell Contreras zeroes in on findings of the PRRI "Challenges to Democracy" study. Who, precisely wants to round up immigrants and put them into camps?

79% of Republicans vs. 22% of Democrats

75% of white evangelicals
61% of white Catholics
58% of white mainline Protestants
