Update to Kim Bayne’s excellent post, Hit the Road, Jack: Arizona’s Heartless Kick the Homeless to the Curb…Again.
Rolling Stone reports that the MAGA Fascists’ “Dear Leader,” Donald Trump, has a new plan to deal with the “human refuse” he blames for the high crime rate in our society. Trump’s 2024 ‘Crime’ Plan: Crackdowns on the ‘Homeless,’ ‘Drug-Addicted,’ and ‘Mentally Ill’:
Donald Trump on Monday released his “Plan to End Crime and Restore Law and Order,” as he continues his quest to retake the White House in 2024. The supposedly “new plan” is largely a rehash of past policy goals — from his 2016 campaign, from his administration — including expanding the use of the federal death penalty, sending in the military when local law enforcement “refuses to act,” and assailing bail reform, for starters. In the video trumpeting these proposals this week, the former president also teased harsher crackdowns — should he return to the Oval Office — on people without homes and those addicted to drugs.
“We will also take back our streets from the homeless, the drug-addicted, and the mentally ill,” he said, almost offhandedly, at the end of Monday’s announcement, per his presidential campaign’s transcript. Trump then only adds: “I will discuss those plans in much more detail very soon. That is how I will bring back public safety to America.”
Something about this sounds so familiar. Oh yeah, Hitler’s euthanasia program to maintain the purity of the German “master race.” The United State Holocaust Museum Encycopledia: THE MURDER OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES:
Many Germans did not want to be reminded of individuals who did not measure up to their concept of a “master race” and were considered “unfit” or “handicapped.” People with physical and mental disabilities were viewed as “useless” to society, a threat to Aryan genetic purity, and, ultimately, “unworthy of life.” At the beginning of World War II, individuals with mental or physical disabilities were targeted for murder in what the Nazis called the “T-4,” or “euthanasia,” program.
The Euthanasia Program required the cooperation of many German doctors, who reviewed the medical files of patients in institutions to determine which individuals with disabilities should be killed. The doctors also supervised the actual killings. Doomed patients were transferred to six institutions in Germany and Austria, where they were killed in specially constructed gas chambers. Infants and small children with disabilities were also killed by injection with a deadly dose of drugs or by starvation. The bodies of the victims were burned in large ovens called crematoria.
Despite public protests in 1941, the Nazi leadership continued this program in secret throughout the war. About 200,000 people with disabilities were murdered between 1940 and 1945.
The T-4 program became the model for the mass murder of Jews, Roma (Gypsies), and others in camps equipped with gas chambers that the Nazis would open in 1941 and 1942. The program also served as a training ground for SS members who manned these camps.
If we do not stop the madness of the far-right MAGA Fascists, this is where their hatred of “others” will eventually lead.
And they dare to call themselves Christians. WWJD? Matthew 25:31-46.
BTW, Donald Trump is a one man crime wave all by himself. Prosecuting his sorry ass to the full extent of the law is the best way to reestablish the public’s faith in the rule of law, and in “law and order.”
