As If There Were Not Enough Reasons to Vote Against Donald Trump

Now there are more.

Since the shooting in Orlando, Donald Trump has done much to enlighten us as to exactly what policies he intends to pursue as President.

Unfortunately, they resemble making the U.S. look an awful lot like Nazi Germany, absent the Concentration Camps (at least to this point in time).

From a NYT column by Eric Rauchway.


"Trump defines the “America” he wants to put “first” by saying who does not properly belong in it. That definition does not include certain people of foreign descent born in the United States, who are to him still foreigners and whom he labels accordingly (in the past few weeks, Trump has referred to native-born Americans as “Mexican” or “Afghan”). It does not include Muslim residents, whom he would “certainly” and “absolutely” force to register their presence with the U.S. government (asked how this proposed policy differs from Nazi laws regarding Jews, Trump replied, “You tell me“)."

I am now of a mind where I hope the Republican convention decides not to vote for Donald Trump and nominates Ted Cruz.  Not that I would vote for him, his policies are not any better, but he is certainly neither a bigot nor a fascist.
