"He’s not hiding his authoritarianism. He’s selling it. …

The Two Minutes Hate was a famous feature of Orwell’s portrayal of Oceania in 1984. The Two Months of Hate is now a notable feature of the 2024 U.S. presidential contest.

Trump’s Midnight In America

^{William Kristol (The Bulwark)}

"As a historian of forced population movements and as an American, I don’t think we are taking the consequences of the Trump-Vance deportation plan seriously enough. The reality will be much more personal and awful, and the politics more transformative and durable, than we might think."

Baby Dolls and Trump Parades and Lies

I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but at Democratic rallies and events and gatherings, there is always someone with a clipboard or a QR code to register voters.

"Even with Trump and Vance turning every rally into a Two Minutes Hate about immigrants, the race remains a toss-up, and a startlingly large number of Americans back his mass deportation plans. This makes it more vital than ever to ensure he’s defeated in November."

Trump targets immigrants legally in US for deportation

Having protected status may not save you.

^{Lisa Needham (Public Notice)}

"This weekend Donald Trump ratcheted up the rhetoric, pushing the lie that the existential danger facing America is murderous migrants who have 'occupied' our country and a political rival who has 'unleashed' this 'bloodthirsty' terror."
