Labor department rhetoric, such as ā€˜One Homeland. One People. One Heritage’, prompt comparisons to Nazi slogan

Union leaders have accused the Trump administration of a ā€œrhetorical shift towards white supremacyā€ after social media posts by the US Department of Labor drew comparison with a Nazi slogan.

Recent posts from the agency include a video captioned ā€œremember who you are, Americanā€, with the phrase: ā€œOne Homeland. One People. One Heritage.ā€

Users of X, formerly Twitter, and Grok, the platform’s AI tool, highlighted a similarity with the Nazi slogan: ā€œEin Volk, ein Reich, ein Führerā€ (ā€œone people, one realm, one leaderā€).

ā€œThe similarity to that Nazi slogan is bad,ā€ Christopher Hayes, a labor historian and professor at Rutgers University, told the Guardian, expressing alarm over ā€œthe motivation behind it, the message, the sentiment and desired outcomeā€.

    LOL, shift?

    This is who and what the conservatives and Republicans have always been. It’s not new with Taco, it’s just the mask is off now.

    Now ā€œJDā€ is out there saying you no longer have to apologize for being white.

    As if that was ever a thing, but Donvict is also fond of saying people can say ā€œmerry xmasā€ now, as if it ever stopped or slowed down or was ever restrained in any way whatsoever.
