Trump's Escalation of Rhetoric

Trump's recent speeches have intensified, particularly regarding his anti-immigration stance, with alarming language that aims to incite fear and aggression among his supporters. He has made extreme claims about migrants suggesting they pose a direct threat to American safety and culture, which can legitimize future violent actions against these groups. This pattern mirrors historical instances where fearmongering, akin to the satanic panic of the 1980s, rooted in exaggerated accusations, helped to mobilize public sentiment toward aggression against perceived enemies. The rhetoric serves to create a narrative that normalizes violence and hostility within certain political circles, fostering an environment where such ideas gain traction and acceptance among followers.
