Trump compares jailed Capitol rioters to Japanese internment during World War II
Former President Donald Trump said that rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 are being treated like Japanese Americans who were incarcerated on U.S. soil during World War II.
The latter were jailed because of racism. The former are largely racists, and are jailed for a closely related reason (trying to prop up a racist regime beyond it's legally due end date).
The fact the polls aren't showing a Harris blow out is absoltuly depressing me about the state of the world
Only one poll actually matters.
I'm doing my part.
But goddamn, what is wrong with people.
It shouldn't, she's no Obama and this man one once already against a meh candidate
Kamala shouldn’t have to be at Obama’s level. A bucket of paint should be infinitely more attractive to everyone on the planet compared to a bigoted narcissist like Trump. The fact that it’s 50-50 proves whoever the Dems choose is not the problem.
Seriously, he’s so easily beatable. Why are the Dems so out of touch that they can’t put forward a candidate or a platform that trounces this guy? Say you won’t give tax money to foreign genocide. Should be a landslide victory after that.
I think not running a primary after Biden stepped down was a huge mistake as well. People feel that a candidate is just being forced on them. If there was even a facade of primaries like they usually are that would have been better than this for the party.
It's so weird how Lemmy has the best political strategists. And theyre not even paid to do it. They do it here for free. Amazing.
It should be a landslide victory after saying such, but everything I've heard regarding polls on the matter is that doing so wouldn't actually gain her much if any support, and possibly might lose her some. There's a very vocal part (especially on lemmy) of the left that would support her more, but the unfortunate matter with Isreal is that a very large portion of the country is genuinely favorable towards that country even when they're actively destroying a population, dislikes Palestinians enough to believe Isreali propaganda about them being just terrorists, or just doesn't care about what goes on in the rest of the world and would resent the issue being focused upon over domestic matters.
Harris can't say that, even if she wants to, because she's party of the current administration. It's a big weakness
Somebody get George Takei's take on this stat. I need to see a good burn.
If Trump keeps this up, George Takei is going to hunt him down and slap some goddamn sense into him.
Set phasers to fuck this guy's shit up.
I thought they were antifa?
Excuse me?! Um, Japanese that got sent to internment camps run by the United States (I’m saying it this way because I learned from George Takei interviews it can be easily mislabeled and her takes great criticism to people that say it wrong), were all grouped together as one nationality accused of possibly being on the side of the Japanese military.
Does Trump think the people at the Capital were all rounded up for being his supporters? These things are not the same. It is insulting to Japanese living in the United States to compare them.
nationality
nope. race. Not nationality.
Well we are both wrong. I should have said ethnicity.
Wild to me that this was just four or five days ago
Never stop accusing others of what you're doing.
