The Biden campaign fiercely denounced Donald Trump following his caustic remarks aimed at immigrants Saturday, saying the former president “parroted Hitler.”

“Tonight Donald Trump channeled his role models as he parroted Adolf Hitler, praised Kim Jong Un, and quoted Vladimir Putin while running for president on a promise to rule as a dictator and threaten American democracy,” Biden-Harris 2024 spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement.

Trump on Saturday ratcheted up his already inflammatory rhetoric on immigrants at a rally in New Hampshire. “They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” the former president said. “They’ve poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world. Not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world they’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia.”

    Heck yes!

    I live in a deep red rural area and the MAGA flags and others are out of vogue(granted they were Cheap AF & ruined quickly). I’m not seeing the energy. Even the perennial die-hard “but democrat x bad” have lost their desire to trumpet even a pro-republican slogan. They will vote and most won’t change their mind but they are seriously deflated with nothing to rally around with Trump’s “retribution only” campaign.

    I agree many of the news organizations have changed leadership & most of them are clamoring to get back the audience they had from previously or seeking to “shift tone”.

      On Saturday I drove from Atlanta to Highlands NC for a funeral. Had to drive thru Deliverance Country - exactly where it was filmed - to get there. I passed a Southern Heritage Museum and Gift Shop with a giant Stars & Bars billboard, and numerous TRUMP 2024 SAVE AMERICA! giant banners.

      Thankfully I don’t have stickers on my car identifying me as a “librul,” and my license tag says Cobb Co which is still a pretty red part of metro ATL but people in those rural areas probably think anyone from “the city” is a “librul”.

      The Trump garbage is still everywhere, at least here, and it’s not going away. I am happy to hear you’re seeing less of it.

        You live in a purple state that MAGA thinks was stolen, so it makes sense that keeps them motivated. I’m talking from a deep red state experience here. They are not gone or banished for sure but have become on par to Southern Heritage territory so checks out.
