Found this amazing review of Mein Kampf by Orwell. Trump/Hitler comparisons are made too lightly. This piece reveals an important contrast. pic.twitter.com/S3xHUhXfwT

Orwell’s most important insight was that “human beings DON’T only want comfort, safety… they [also] want struggle and self-sacrifice.”

Trump promises the exact opposite – Americans should sacrifice nothing for safety and comfort, no matter the cost to the world and to us.

We should close our borders to victims of war because maybe, perhaps, one in a million might turn out bad.

We should take away the rights of minorities, make the other unwelcome, because maybe, perhaps, American culture will finally stop growing.

We should ignore scientific conclusions (which, of course, will not ignore us) because maybe, perhaps, clean energy costs more.

We should give massive tax cuts to the richest of the rich because maybe, perhaps, some of us will join the 1% one day.

We should cut taxes AND increase spending because maybe, perhaps, the bill will only have to be paid by our grandchildren.

We should defund world health organizations, helping the least of us, because maybe, perhaps, Americans are more important.

We should erect tariffs that will stifle developing countries because maybe, perhaps, a few jobs will stay here a little longer.

Trump wants us to become a nation of selfish cowards; he gets away with it by stealing the party of Reagan, of the “shining city on a hill.”
— Soren Johnson (@SorenJohnson) January 27, 2017
For Reagan, that was “a city with free ports” and “the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here.”
— Soren Johnson (@SorenJohnson) January 27, 2017
If America is to lead a better world – the vision of Reagan’s GOP – immigration and free trade are not economic questions but moral ones.

Assuming protectionism even works, would we give up a tiny bit of prosperity to raise the standard of living for billions around the world?
— Soren Johnson (@SorenJohnson) January 27, 2017
Trump has never sacrificed anything for anyone. Dodged the draft. Paid no taxes. Shirked contractors. Refused to divest to become President.

America First will maybe, perhaps, make us a richer country, but it might make us a poorer one, and it will inarguably make us a worse one.
