Trump uses Hitler rhetoric – many agree • The US connoisseur: “Unpleasant numbers”
A third of Americans agree with Trump that immigrants are “poisoning America’s blood.”
This is according to a new opinion poll from PRRI.
Hitler used the same rhetoric in “My Struggle”.
– Those are unpleasant numbers, says USA expert Anderas Utterström.
The accusations that Biden is “poisoning America’s blood” by letting in immigrants came from Trump in December 2023. The same term was used by Hitler in his manifesto “My Struggle” – where he criticized immigration and racial mixing.
Now shows a new one opinion poll that more than one in three Americans agree with the former president.
– Those are unpleasant numbers with the thought of what he is actually saying: that the USA should be a white country, says USA connoisseur Andreas Utterström.
Discontent rather than racism
The result has received strong reactions. The founder of the company PRRI Robert Jones, who also carried out the survey, describes the results as “truly alarming”.
– It is Nazi rhetoric, he says.
But where echoes of “Mein Kampf” are heard, Utterström believes that it is rather a matter of dissatisfaction among Americans than pure racism.
– The big problem is that Biden has done too little in the matter. It is an expression of the fact that many are dissatisfied with the entire migration system and see Trump as the one who can bring order, he says and continues:
– This does not mean that they agree with him in substance, many answer reflexively. Had the respondents been interviewed in depth, the figure would have dropped a lot.
“Now that will be enough”
As many as 34 percent of those polled answered that they agree with Trump. Among Republicans, 61 percent answered yes, among Democrats the figure was 13 percent and among independents it was a third.
The figures should rather be seen as a symptom that “now it will be enough”, says the US connoisseur.
– The United States would not have survived without immigration, the economy is based on it. If the question had instead been asked if the Americans want to close the borders completely and thereby increase the price of food, then people would answer no, says Andreas Utterström.
