Not really; Generalplan Ost was far, far more brutal even from its conception. While the horrific industrialized efficiency of the camps and gas chambers weren't fully fleshed out yet the Nazis included the idea of exterminating undesirables through mass killings, working them to death, and starving them to death from the start.
Driving the news: "When I am back in the White House, we will use every tool, lever, and authority to get the homeless off our streets," Trump said in a video posted on his campaign site in August, saying that he'll work with states to ban urban camping.
Trump said his administration would offer treatment and other resources for people who are "just temporarily down on their luck" or have less severe mental health issues.
"And for those who are severely mentally ill and deeply disturbed, we will bring them back to mental institutions, where they belong," he said, "with the goal of reintegrating them back into society once they are well enough to manage."
So "every tool, lever, and authority" except building shelters and affordable housing. Because, of course, the homeless themselves are the problem that needs to be fixed, not a symptom of a society that needs to be fixed.
Having a ton of dark oligarch money behind you and threatening legal action will do that. But I bet this win will be temporary, the ADL is going to have their lawyers review the articles before putting them back up with any legally necessary edits.
I think they just didn't appreciate our current media environment well enough. They thought they could try to expand sales to new customers with a TikTok ad campaign that their core consumers would never see. What they didn't plan for was the fact that right-wing "news" has become pure Christian nationalist grievance propaganda that scours social media for anything they can use to outrage their audience; they didn't expect that their little TikTok ad campaign would become the biggest story in the right-wing outrage ecosystem for weeks.
The article also says Biden had a 33% approval rating. JFC. GDP is up 5% and unemployment is like 3-4%.
Ah, but the interest rates are high so the oligarch class that own almost all media are telling the American people that the economy is bad because the venture capitalists actually have a cost to borrow the capital to run their next Ponzi scheme.
It's so weird that people exist out there that hold strong opinions about Biden's ability to speak but never actually watch him make statements, answer questions from the press, or give interviews. I guess having to actually see reality would shatter the delusions you've been fed by propaganda outlets and we can't have that.
They're just the standard reflexively antipathetic assholes who think it's cool to cynically spin literally everything as a negative that make using every social media platform on the internet a fucking chore.
Phillips plans to level several criticisms at Biden in the speech he’s set to deliver on the steps of the New Hampshire state capitol later Friday morning.
“Chaos at our border and in our cities is growing, while our commitment to countering it is receding,” the Minnesota congressman is expected to say, according to a campaign spokesperson.
Instead of touting himself (because he has no record or accomplishments), his whole campaign is going to be attacking Biden. His words will 100% be used by the GOP in the general election to try to convince independents that even Democrats think Biden is doing a terrible job. He's even explicitly planning on repeating the ridiculous Republican lie that there is "growing chaos in our cities" even as the actual facts and crime statistics show the exact opposite. His campaign is being advised by old-school Republican lying political mudslinger Steve Schmidt.
His clear intention is much more about bringing Biden down than wining himself.
He'd have to be both a legitimate candidate and left of Biden to do that. He's neither.
“Chaos at our border and in our cities is growing, while our commitment to countering it is receding,” the Minnesota congressman is expected to say, according to a campaign spokesperson.

Phillips is being advised by former Republican strategist Steve Schmidt, two people familiar with the campaign told CNN. Schmidt, who left the GOP in 2018, previously worked on the campaigns of former President George W. Bush and the late Arizona Sen. John McCain.

And his decision to focus on New Hampshire after the Democratic National Committee sought to elevate South Carolina to go first on the primary calendar could hurt him in the Palmetto State’s February 3 primary.
His primary issue is the border and the completely fictional right-wing "growing chaos in our cities", his campaign being run by a Republican, and he's suspiciously avoiding campaigning in a state where he would need to convince black voters. If you're left of Biden the more you learn about this empty suit the less you'll like him.
