Top: Stephen Miller/Donald Trump Bottom: Joseph Goebbels/Adolf Hitler |
Few in this town care to hear it, especially the 52.5% who voted for Donald Trump in the last election, but there's an eerie similarity between Adolf Hitler and his closest adviser, Joseph Goebbels, and Donald Trump and the orchestrator of his immigration policies, Stephen Miller.
Goebbels, like Miller, was a racist to the core, promoting anti-semiticism and Nazi supremacy.
In 1933 Goebbels created the Reich Chamber of Culture, a vehicle he used to force Jewish artists and musicians out of their jobs, then followed that with a massive book burning of works by Jewish authors. That was followed up by 6,000,000 Jews being stripped naked, marched to chambers to be exposed to Zyklon B gas, followed by their bodies burned in crematoriums and the bones ground up for fertilizer in the fields.

Trump's admiration of Hitler is no secret as witnessed by his first wife, Ivana Trump, who said he kept a book of Hitler's speeches on his nightstand. Even during the recent campaign, Trump regularly used Hitler's own words, repeatedly calling immigrants "vermin," saying they'd "poisoned the blood of our country."
Stephen Miller, who plays a similar role to Hitler's associate Goebbels, is the evil advisor/architect behind the proposed mass deportation of immigrants, initially helped shape the racist policies of Trump's first term: the so-called "zero tolerance" policy leading to family separation at the border, the infamous Muslim ban, the decision to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals(DACA), the "purging" of civil servants not considered loyal to Trump, the refusal to issue green cards during COVID-19, the fearmongering, xenophobia and demonization of immigrants.

Now, the Miller/Trump tandem are planning a mass deportation of 11M immigrants who've been productive, tax-paying participants in our system, many for decades, mired in the stranglehold of an inefficient and incompetent immigration system that our legislative branch of government has been too partisan to reach consensus and repair.
Yes, "elections have consequences," and the prospect of our country retaining its moral and historical values does not look good.
