For comparison, The New Republic ran this headline:

Trump’s Rally Just Went Full Nazi With Bloodthirsty Immigration Threat

Donald Trump drilled down on his racist, xenophobic vitriol during a rally.

My brain read that as “native attacks” and I got really excited

[-] Letme@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

The only "natives" here are Mexicans and Native Americans

[-] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago

Mexicans are native? The descendants of Spanish colonizers?

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago

Considering they're often largely mixed mestizo heritage. That they can clearly point to. 💯%

Nativist is certainly a more neutral word, but I think it undercuts the danger in this rhetoric and is not a common enough word for the general public to recognize.

In short, this language helps Trump.

Did y’all not get taught about the nativism movement in school? My catholic school taught us about the know nothings and other nativists alongside the kkk

No, not as a Canadian in IB history anyway.

It’s also an unnecessary use of the passive voice. Did the nativist attacks fall out of the sky and land on the rally? No, Trump made them himself.

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, because trump and his pasty white, doughy fascists sure ain't native. They just represent the first thieves. Screaming theft as their numbers and influence wain.

People love what I have to say. They believe in it. They just don’t like the word Nazi, that’s all
