trump's call for national unity nothing but nazi propaganda

Somewhere in the papers of Joseph Goebbels, I guarantee you will find several examples of "the call for national unity," shot through with code-words and references that signal support for the white nationalist nazi agenda, just like trump's remarks and written obviously by the POS team of miller and gorka.

A special class
Unmatched in human history
Achieved total immortality
Unity by following the heroic example
When we open our hearts to patriotism, all else is unimportant*
Love for our nation demands loyalty
Renewing the sacred bonds of love and loyalty that bind us together

Calls for unifying the nation through the agency of religion and the military are familiar themes of authoritarian rule. These are some of the exact phrases that Hitler used in speeches written for him by Goebbels. In Germany, people got so sick of it that they decided not to watch, and look what happened.

*A special word about patriotism -- "Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons." --Bertrand Russell

I think we should keep watching.
