Just today I have read about Republicans calling immigrants "animals" and "illegal human locusts," and now Trump is calling for a "final solution" to the "Immigrant Problem." This is straight up Nazism, right out in the open, and we'll all suffer if they are given power.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

To be clear, those were my words paraphrasing his post. Read his words. They exude Hitler energy in that post, and encourage behavior in others like you describe.
Edit to add the post in question:
Well, that's a little bit of a relief. But only a little bit.
What the hell is a debate supposed to be if not partisan? It's about the parties running is it not?
there's no way trump actually wrote this.
So far it's just Republicans that are shooting at him
Guy who spews hatred. blames others for blowback. Sounds narcissistic doesn't it.
Donnie just a few hours earlier: 
Well of course it's going to get worse. One of the parties will not allow even moderate, reasonable gun legislation. Every former Trump supporting loon with a grudge can get a gun with no problem.
Simple, he should just buy some guns for protection!
Thoughts and prayers if he gets killed.
That's how it works, right? European here.
I'm having throughts and prayers already.
So they've had two Republican voters try and assassinate the Republican nominee for president while they've be spouting of about political violence as the answer but yeah, it's the Democrats fault.
He's a narcissist, he's literally incapable of accepting blame.
I’m not a fan of this point of view because I don’t think we fully understand the motives of either shooter. The first’s motive seems ambiguous, at best. It’s too soon to know for the second. You could technically call them Republican voters based on social media history, but I heard the second shooter became disillusioned with Trump sometime after 2016, which is why I feel like comments like this are leading us into a direction we aren’t yet ready to go. Either way, people want to pin these events on a political motive and in the end they may be no more politically motivated than some of the clearly apolitical school shootings.
I blame Trump for his own outcome though. To shit on victims of gun crime and to shit on everybody in general in such a public space, for the President of the United States of all things, is not going to end well for anybody.
Whatever they were, they weren't leftist radicals or even Democratic superfans taking political inspiration from establishment candidates like Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. That's the important part. We don't know what their actual motive was, but there's no indication Democrats using disapproving language had any realistic impact.
We can keep an open mind without accepting their implausible narrative.
final solution
Still rocking that Nazi fash, Donnie?
OP said they were paraphrasing his comments, not quoting him; the word "final" doesn't appear in the linked article at all.
I had to double check because it caught my eye, too.
To be clear, "final solution" is a phrase OP added for effect, not literally quoted from Trump in this instance.
Wow, blatent Nazi reference: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/final-solution-overview
"THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT US AS FOOLS..."
My favorite part is when he gets something so insanely wrong that it spins full circle and he gets it right anyway, just for completely the wrong reason.
In 2015 the night he announced 2 of his supporters beat a homeless man with a pipe and urinated on him. They turned to the camera and said "trump 2016". He took days and more than one interview to condemn them. This was before he realized he could lie and misdirect these thing.
Well, that's a new one. I wasn't expecting the leopard to be resentful about all the face eating.
Is anybody saying that the answer is more guns? No? Then why is that the answer after every school shooting?
Why didn't Trump have a gun??? Wouldn't he be safer??
Final solution, eh? Sounds familiar.
We should have universal background checks for firearms and a ban on assault weapons like what was used to attack former President Trump!
Oops, I cribbed that from Harris and Walz's Evil Communist Leftist Campaign.
hilarious. there is only one side where the politicians and the media talk violence and its not the left. yeah violence is talked about by individuals but not ones holding office or part of non extreme left leaning media.
Which is why both would-be assassins were conservatives.
meh. they both seemed so back and forth they are nutters but there is one politician whose rallies seemed filled with the type.
You should really not use double quotation marks when you are paraphrasing, a lot of people will confuse this for a direct quote
Better drop out then, eh?
Communist lol. Fuck off and die (in a supermax).
Quick could you put on this fantastic the best of the best orange.... I mean burnt sunset coverall for a photo opportunity.
