Trump 2.0’s Nazi-coded social feeds

from Front Burner

Over the last few weeks, the Trump administration has explicitly or implicitly borrowed from the Nazi tradition on social media.Specific passages or iconography from the Third Reich have been repurposed in the context of the government’s own legislative program today. The adoption of these extreme symbols, dog whistles and phrases is part of a re-mainstreaming of fascist and Nazi ideas more broadly.Ali Breland, a staff writer at The Atlantic, explains why he sees it as part of an attempt to remake the U.S. from a country defined by ideas like liberty and equality, to one defined by bloodline and heritage.
