Snip: But where did this graphic come from? My first thought was that it must have originated at a white supremacist website like Stormfront, because it really is that bad. But neither Google Image search nor tineye.com found it posted at any websites. Google Images did, however, find the earliest tweet in which this horrible racist image appeared.
Heres the bio of the person who posted it. Notice that hes an admirer of Hitler.
And his avatar, that looks like a modified swastika, is the symbol of the neo-Nazi German Faith Movement.
So there you have it. Donald Trump is posting racist imagery that comes directly from neo-Nazis.
I hope youre not surprised that a guy like Donald Trump, who continually spouts fascist rhetoric, is attracted to fascist memes posted by neo-Nazis. This is where the right wing has ended up in 2015.

(31,810 posts)At least at DU -surprised about ANYTHING that Don Trumps says, tweets, sloganeers, etc. etc. He is a reflection of his supporters. These people exist and they aren't all members of organized separatist movements, web sites, groups, etc. etc. They are the average John and Jane Doe who chat with their black, hispanic, jewish, muslim, asian, etc. etc. neighbors while waiting in line at Shop Rite or Wegmans -
They just have another side/face that only Trump brings out.

With Trump publishing it, it's now a fact in many Americans heads.
