Dehumanizing Children; They're Like Animals

Aliza Luft and Daniel Solomon in the Washington Post, note: "Dehumanizing propaganda is a common precursor to genocide and other mass
atrocities."

You may think, "Dehumanizing? No one is dehumanizing anyone."



You'd be wrong. When Trump called immigrants "animals," that is exactly what he did.  When Celese likened infants and babies lost by Trump's snatch and grab ICE agents to stray animals, that's exactly what SHE did.



You may think, "Atrocities"? Surely you're exaggerating; right?"



No, Misty called for immigrant children NOT to be arrested and then LOST by Trump's snatch and grab ICE agents. No, rather she called for them simply to be gunned down.



Gunning down children is an atrocity.



Trump and his supporters ARE dehumanizing children; and they ARE calling for atrocities to be committed against them.



And they call themselves Christians?



We're treading in dangerous waters, my friends.

Jan
Brewer should hire the French Foreign Legion to Arizona. She should
order them to shoot to kill, on the spot, anyone - man, woman or child,
crossing the border illegally.

It's [sheltering a refugee child] like feeding a stray animal.



We've seen Trump refer to immigrants as "animals." We've seen the CHILDREN lost by Trump's snatch and grab ICE agents compared to stray animals. We've even seen calls for children to be gunned down on the border.



All three of the people making these disgusting remarks claim to be Christians.



 But is there really a direct link between dehumanizing
discourse and participation in violence?

More disgusting dehumanizing language from the Trump supporters. It's DISGUSTING!





So much for that lie that Trump was only talking about MS-13 gang members.



Celeste tipped her ugly hand --- she' not talking about MS-13 gang members; she's talking about babies and children.

one of the things you do to make your opposition look bad is take away their humanity.

Now, Celeste comes around to it. Not satisfied with simply likening these children to stray animals. She DOUBLES DOWN and says they ARE are animals.
