Nothing human about him
You shouldn't dehumanize your enemies.
It's important to acknowledge that humans are capable of great evil.
Yes but it's easier to call for extermination of non humans. Think of him like a cockroach or mosquito and stop or slap the fucker to oblivion.
That's precisely the logic that fascists use to exterminate their enemies. I'd rather not share a quality with fascists.
To be fair it's not precisely the same logic because fascism is a choice you make, not something you're born as.
ThePantser and the other commenter are making the choice to dehumanize their enemy. I don't understand the difference you're trying to distinguish.
Nazis: "These aren't people because they were never people."
ThePantser: "These aren't people anymore because of choices they made."
One could argue that it's heavy-handed or dangerous or something, but it's not the same logic.
Trump and his ilk are dehumanizing immigrants, people who made a choice.
Don't become them.
If your point is that Trump is also dehumanizing others, you won't find disagreement with me. I don't take it as a refutation of my point. I think I've made my stance quite clear and I'll leave it here.
My refutation of your point is that this was never about immigrants.
He is absolutely human and should serve a reminder of the evil humans are capable of.
Nothing redeemable about him
