1. Noah is thoughtful on the use of Nazis analogies & his TL should be read. I want to enter a small caveat.https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/1009553108811198464 …

4. To really understand Trump you have to understand the American history that made him. To that end, this
@AdamSerwer piece is excellent in reminding us that the child separation policy is also part of the American tradition: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/06/child-separation/563252/ …Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Yes. Trump is the fruition of decades of
@GOP race-baiting and fascism. But he's still engaging in Third Reich tactics with the full support of his party. It is beyond alarming. Terrifying to witness.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Most Americans don't know who those people are? What are you talking about?

Except that the comparison shouldn't at all suggest what you're claiming. Hitler was not "exotic" in German, and neither is Trump exotic in his own country. This is American Fascism. Done our way. This seems obvious.

The entire point of the comparison is to show how *it can happen here.* Nazis *were* exotic. We thought, oh, couldn't happen in America. The story of how very much is the GOP's fixation with white nationalism.

Points well taken and true enough. But we have to act in the world as we find it. And unfortunately, we live in an America in which Auschwitz has almost universal mobilizing resonance, and Manzanar or Rosewood etc have virtually none.

American exceptionalism is kinda centered around how we treated the people who originally lived here, and then the labor force we imported to support our economy. I see a lot of Trump in the murderers and slavers who established this place, the same wanton disregard based on skin
