People have trouble interpreting this. Nobody’s saying Donald Trump or Pam Bondi are personally selecting Nazi iconography. They don’t read enough for that. The point is they hire and promote Nazis who ARE steeped in Nazi iconography, and they’re fine with it.
Oh look, ICE is copying literal Nazi recruiting propaganda again. The poster on the right is for the Volkssturm, the Nazi militia of older men and boys established during the final months of World War II.

I keep on saying to myself “this has been done before to disastrous consequences!!!!”
Is anyone aware of history?!?!
The Canadian conservative party has had the same problem for 2 decades. The current fascist dog shit mansion squatter won the job after knifing his predecessor for trying to bring the party back to the middle. That guy's campaign statement was pure 14/88. 14/88. Knifed for being a moderate.
That’s why a WHOLE bunch of good people need to flood the zone with applications. Every Ron Swanson out there-your nation is calling you. Two can play this game.
Similar ideology would lead them to similar messaging, as well.
So when they cut social security we can work for ice, ok, got it
This would imply that Donny or Bondi spent more than 20 seconds actually looking it what was submitted…
yeppers
Frightening. Maybe that’s what they love and I shouldn’t admit it but the fear is for other people, as they will hurt many. Other fears we can overcome. Like most people I see around me, I am ready to do what I must where Nazis are concerned.
I'm somewhat tempted to apply for ice. Get in there, start making some of that sweet cheese and also surreptitiously help people escape from their clutches by warning everyone.
honestly, gives NAMBLA vibes also, but i understand that's not the point
Interestingly enough, the Volksturm were both pathetic and ineffective. Everyone knew by that point that the Germans had lost the war.
✋ hold up. I’m saying it!
Very good point. Still damn disturbing
So they fund nazis, hmm…?
We are keeping track of the fash artisans, right?
Don't be so sure about that.
OK so drawing the logical conclusions, I'm forced to assume that they absolutely cannot get anyone to sign up to do this, even given the low bar to entry and high pay. Because there's one reason you recruit old men into your fighting force...
Yup fascist think the same no matter the generation. cbwrong.blogspot.com?m=1
Funny...all the people who spent years telling me I was being disrespectful to Holocaust victims by calling these fuckholes Nazis have become awfully quiet lately.
Too many folks forget or don’t know that the work in administrations is by and large conceived of by staff and presented to the Prez. So … it matters a WHOLE BUNCH who you hire. And Drumpft consistently hires folks who are willing to go far, far, right into the racist and fascist lane.
Because 'DEFEND THE HOMELAND' wasn't fashy enough yet
The ICENAZI poster is wrong, too, in that IT SHOWS THEIR FACES! s we all know, ICENAZI goons never do that.
Also see this: bsky.app/profile/sanh...
Guess women need not apply. Noted.
The Volkssturm, “The People’s Storm”
The last gasping wheezes of Nazi scumbags who were willing to sacrifice any number of people no matter their age.
Boys and old men sacrificed to the tune of 600,000 needless deaths. All for their Aryan leaders.
Trump will sacrifice these too w/out remorse.
Yes, and they govern like the KKK, literally.
The best possible interpretation is that they’re so steeped in Nazi iconography that they don’t realize they’re duplicating it in the ICE posters
Spot on. Good news that it happens at the end.
Big “Triumph of the Swill” energy
They don't personally have to select it. They believe in it full stop.
They're perfectly OK with it, though.
Incorrect. We know trump has literally read a book of hitler's speeches through divorce documents with Ivanna.
It was in his nightstand and he thumbed through it often. It is quite literally the only book we know for sure trump has ever read in his life.
Grunts take queues from dear leader.
Nazi AI slop.
OTOH you don’t hire teenagers if you’ve got access to well-qualified hires. It’ll be easy to spot the ones that do take the job later in life, though, they’ll be too strung out on HGH to produce their own testosterone and they’ll have stunning tits.
Plenty of reports of mein kamp on the bedside table
Consider signing. Pam Bondi & Ashley Moody corruption. Bondi & Moody's corrupt FL legacy qualified them for national office. www.change.org/p/pam-bondi-...
Pam Bondi and U.S. Senator Ashley Moody corruption - Cover-up
It’s what they are. They can call it whatever, but Nazi Gestapo is what they are!!🤬 When you have Racists running our Country, with the complicity of the Not so Supreme Court and the American Fascist Party. This is what MAGA voted for 🤬😤😠
I think it's just as likely that they have the same ideas as nazis so they end up recreating nazi media.
You nailed it.
Older guy on the right is literally the same face in both
it's also the same as supporting sex offenders/ child traffickers and abusers.. it makes them guilty just for 'being fine' with it
I doubt Trump even knows what iconography is – he just likes overt racists who butter him up.
Groypers would make some really talented historians if they weren’t all interested in violence and exterminating the 🧃
That's what the US gets for never really having said nazism is bad and evil and should be eradicated.
"free speech" is no excuse for letting evil fester
That part right there.
I. . . I'm saying that. Mostly because it's true. I don't quite understand the centrist position of 'we can't really treat them as enemies' when that's exactly what they're doing to us.
I think also, even if no one was aware of this particular Nazi iconography, when you fetishize fascistic bullshit, your rhetoric and propaganda will tend to overlap with the rhetoric and propaganda of those who believed that same bullshit in the past.
Shocking that this guy would have a copy of "My New Order" on his bed stand.
Not really.
Throwback!

Unfortunately for Donald and Ivana Trump, all that glittered wasn't gold. But the reign of New York's self-created imperial couple isn't over yet. Donald's Midas touch may be tarnished, but the banks ...
