Trump's Homeland Security recruitment ad for ICE reads, “Serve your country! Defend your culture!”
Hmm. And what "culture" would that be?
Would it be a culture of diversity, equal justice under law, inclusion, and asylum for the oppressed? No, I'm quite sure that's not it.
Or is it a culture of protecting voter rights and civil rights with fair representation in a democratic representative government? Something tells me that's not it either.
How about a culture of free speech in higher education, free of politicized scientific research and curriculums?
Or a culture of lawful due process free of personal vendettas by politicized law enforcement? No, I don't think that's it at all.
Could it be a culture of mercy and benevolence for the downtrodden? A culture of provision for the general welfare, universal healthcare, and regulation of commerce?
Let's get real.
It's quite clear the "culture" they want to "defend" is one of radical Right minority rule paired with white "Christian" nationalism. They call it MAGA.
Their culture would look more like this:
“In this world human culture and civilization are inseparably bound up with the existence of the Aryan. His dying off or his decline would again lower upon this earth the dark veils of a time without culture.” Adolf Hitler - "Mein Kampf"
"The National Government...regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life" Adolf Hitler - "My New Order"- Proclamation to the German Nation, Berlin, February 1, 1933
Since Trumpers seem so fond of a militarized police state where cops can "do whatever the hell they want", it's no surprise their culture is attracted to the same old English style font Hitler used for his book "Mein Kampf".
Mere coincidence, I'm sure, but it does seem to suit their mutual ideological image.
