This wasn’t an accident. It was the point. It’s what MAGA was built on—a message to the white, the bitter, and the fearful that their ginned up anger is a rallying cry, a political stance, and a weapon. It's a promise that America belongs to them and no one else. It’s why Trump’s rallies don’t even try to reach beyond his hardcore base. The sad part is that, for as many reasonably-minded people as he'll lose because of this abomination, he'll gain just as many who want nothing more than a fourth Reich.

I guess we can safely say this is not "reaching out to the middle", expanding your base, etc? I sure hope this shout-out to Nuremberg becomes a classic example in your classes, Professor, of "exciting the base can really blow up in your face"!
I also came from that world, Carol. Like you say, you can't accuse him of hiding what he's about.

Besides the comedian's comments, which I will watch since I don't trust that the author will provide context, the rest of the examples are not racist. Deportation is what countries around the world do everyday, and could be done to a white guy from Canada.
By the way, you are so concerned about calling Kamala the antichrist. That's fresh! Didn't she just call Trump hitler?

Many “good” Germans made excuses for Hitler too.
