r/The_Donald: America First

https://i.imgur.com/1kHbRAT.png In case you don't know this history of "America First": http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/27/opinions/trump-america-first-ugly-echoes-dunn/index.html [quote]Still, the problem of anti-Semitism remained; a Kansas chapter leader pronounced President Franklin Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt "Jewish" and Winston Churchill a "half-Jew." After Pearl Harbor, the America First Committee closed its doors, but not before Lindbergh made his infamous speech at an America First rally in Des Moines, Iowa, in September 1941. After charging that President Roosevelt had manufactured "incidents" to propel the country into war, Lindbergh proceeded to blurt out his true thoughts. "The British and the Jewish races," he declared, "for reasons which are not American, wish to involve us in the war." The nation's enemy was an internal one, a Jewish one. "Their greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio, and our government," he contended. Booing began to drown out the cheers, forcing him again and again to stop, wait out the catcalls, and start his sentences over.[/quote] This is what Trump supporters align with. r/The_Donald is a hate group.

  • Your post is a genetic fallacy, strawman, and moral equivalence fallacy. How do you know they hate jews? Saying they hate jews because "America first" used to be used by bad people doesn't mean the way they are using it in the same bad way. Not all Trump supporters believe that if it was true that they hate jews. Which I doubt it. Seems like you are trying to demonize a whole group of people just so you can have a reason to hate them.
