I’m a Latino American citizen, and I initially supported and considered voting for Donald Trump because I believed he was focused on promoting peace, avoiding war, supporting legal immigration, fighting racism, and emphasizing Christian values. Many of us Latinos share a Christian background similar to many Americans. However, in response to hearing certain remarks, I’ve decided to support Kamala Harris instead. 30k is going to kamala i guess since she the only one with 0 racist remarks
The Second World War marked a turning point in the global fight against fascism. In the aftermath of the conflict, democratic governments, including the United States, sought to educate the public about the dangers of this ideology and its potential resurgence. One notable example of this effort was the release of the film "Don't Be a Sucker" in 1943.
Produced by the United States Army Signal Corps and distributed by Paramount Pictures, "Don't Be a Sucker" was a powerful anti-fascist propaganda film that warned Americans about the tactics used by fascist leaders to manipulate public opinion and undermine democratic institutions. The film highlighted the dangers of prejudice, intolerance, and the appeal of strong, authoritarian leaders.
The film's release was part of a broader campaign by the U.S. government to raise awareness about the threat of fascism. Other initiatives included public speeches, educational materials, and radio broadcasts. These efforts emphasized the importance of vigilance, critical thinking, and active participation in democratic processes.
While the specific tactics and rhetoric of fascist movements may evolve over time, the core principles that underpin them remain constant. These include the glorification of violence, the suppression of dissent, and the erosion of individual liberties. By recognizing these warning signs and actively resisting their spread, we can help to safeguard our democracies and prevent the resurgence of fascism.
He's a comedian…
Trump didn't say anything so what people are saying
What a horible mistake. Over and over again. As far as I'm concern, both sides of the political spectrum are disappointing….
Yeah I was 99% gonna vote for trump but glad I waited and saw this. I get it that it might’ve been a joke from a comedian but probably wasn’t the right venue to do so
This is disgusting! That's why I don't like politics 🙄 because it causes so much division between people.
Out of everything the comedian jokes about THIS is the only one they talk about, do you know why? Legacy media and the democrats know that Trump is getting the Latino vote this time around and more than any other republican ever. They’re just trying to sway people because they know they’re done!
Trump is the better option. Yall are brainwashed.
This is Racism at its finest!!
I'm puertorrican and I voted for Trump. It did not affect my point of view about Trump's policies and his 4-year profile as the president of this nation. I was born and raised Catholic. I'm pro life, defend Catholicism/Christianity/Judaism values. My skin color is white and, unfortunately, I have been discriminated by blacks, latinos, and white Democrats only. I pray that my country becomes the 51st state of this wonderful republic.
TRUMP 2024
I’m Latina I live in USA 35 yrs! I lived 5 yrs in Montana all full of racist republicans ! Trump was or any republican president nice and fearless to Latins!!!
So we skip over the watermelon part???
😱🥶😱🥶😱🥶😱🥶😱🥶😱🥶😱
Donald Trump is often seen as racist, xenophobic and a known liar. When the results are announced, it is very likely that he will refuse to accept the verdict of the ballot boxes. This could lead to an escalation of tensions, similar to what is seen with other minorities. We should prepare for a possible civil war fueled by these extreme ideas.
The bleeping was unnecessary 😅
Keep in mind, trumpers. This supposed enemy within will destroy you if you try jan 6th again.
Why didn't you show the audience's reaction? You just showed him tell the joke, and then cut away before you could hear the crowd's reaction. Most of them didn't laugh. Most of them groaned in disgust.
What did they say that was untrue ? Nothing
He’s always been racist Trump supporters don’t care. He will be the worst president we have ever had.
The crowd groaned in disgust when they heard the comedian's racist jokes.
I can't wait to see the percentage of the white vote he gets.
Donald Trump, the Jimmy Saville of America
Yes America Dream with all this candidates is a nightmare!
Por people!
I heard someone say that Trump may not be racist, but the racist think he's racist.
Trump is now using media to create the illusion that he was winning. If Harris wins, he appears to be preparing to incite people and cause some kind of riot like he tried at the last election. people will say election stolen
Freedom of speech
Did Trump actually say anything racist? Because to me it just seems like the others were being racist. Trump doesn't have any control over what they say.
