Trump calls political enemies ‘vermin,’ echoing dictators Hitler, Mussolini

[22lcidw]

Yep. Leadership characterizing a person as subhuman is an attempt to justify what is done to them.

And Progs are in the forefront of wanting to kill the Jews. Jewish leftists have a lot to atone for. We will see what they do. Most likely they will be to into themselves to realize it. What we have seen the last month or so from the world and the United States is pure hate against Jewish people. Israel needs to remove any potential danger close to them now. If they need a demilitarized barrier zone that is miles wide, they may have to do it. As the years pass, groups against Israel will get more and more sophisticated missiles and even WMD weapons. The hate in the world now has darkened it even more than before.

Food for thought:

Mussollini was hung by the very same people who thought he was God.

Democrats should be hanged the same way. Turn Pennsylvania Avenue into an Appian Way. continue it along the highways.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The democrats really are subhuman vermin. How else would you refer to them?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

No one is going to allow Trump to do any payback.

 

[Nostra]

Just stop.

Calling the opposition “vermin” is a way to dehumanize them and allow violence to happen to them .. or cause it.

In the Rawanda genocide they used the term “cockroaches” for the same reason

Explain in detail how saying the word vermin would cause violence, Snowflake.

 

[Nostra]

When did you suddenly become a German from the 1930s? This is not a term Americans use.

You clowns really are easy. You latch onto dumbass talking points like a pit bull on a pork chop.

 

[Nostra]

Trump wants to be another Mussollini. Fine. Guess how he ended up?

Link?

Go for it, Cowboy. Who's going to do your dirty work as you're at home sitting on your ass sipping beer?

 

[Tom Paine 1949]

The democrats really are subhuman vermin. How else would you refer to them?

I would refer to them as members or supporters of the largest political party in the U.S., mostly decent folks, whether a scumbag like you agrees with them or not.

He called democrats vermin?
He needs to apologize to vermin then.

After all, vermin don't terrorize Jews all across the globe and shout from the river to the sea!

Of course the majority of Jewish Americans usually vote Democratic, and it is precisely they who see most clearly the similarity between the increasingly sick language of Donald Trump and the traditional political language of fascism.

"We will root out the Communists, Marxists, Fascists, and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country, lie, steal, and cheat on elections, and will do anything possible, whether legally or illegally to destroy America, and the American Dream" --Donald Trump in a campaign speech

Holy Mein Kampf, Batman, Trump's been sniffing crazy glue!

“The language is the language that dictators use to instill fear,” said Timothy Naftali, a senior research scholar at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs. “When you dehumanize an opponent, you strip them of their constitutional rights to participate securely in a democracy because you’re saying they’re not human. That’s what dictators do.”​

​

Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a historian at New York University, said in an email to The Washington Post that “calling people 'vermin’ was used effectively by Hitler and Mussolini to dehumanize people and encourage their followers to engage in violence.”​

​

“Trump is also using projection: note that he mentions all kinds of authoritarians ‘communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left’ to set himself up as the deliverer of freedom,” Ben-Ghiat said. “Mussolini promised freedom to his people too and then declared dictatorship.”​

​

​

I seem to recall Republicans having a conniption when Hillary called them ''deplorables', but how silent they are when Trump acts like a second rate wannabe dictator.​

​

But Republicans love this type of rhetoric. It's not about making America Great, it's about owning the libs. Not a very good basis to run a country, and forget about unity, not with this guy.​

​

He's making plans, if he regains office.....​

​

Trump planning sweeping raids, detention camps, and mass deportations if re-elected in 2025, NYT reports​

​

​

​

Trump is going to lose middle America, now he's getting scary.​

​

I'm gonna need some evidence that Mussolini called his political opponents vermin. The word of (((Ruth Ben-Ghiat))) isn't good enough. Besides, didn't Trump's first term amply demonstrate that he's got no balls when it comes to dealing with his political opponents?

Remind me which American politicians called her political opponents deplorables.

But some of FDR's opponents didn't stop at talk: a new book details a starting plot to overthrow FDR and replace him with a fascist military government. Author Interviews When The Bankers...


Critics on the right worried that Roosevelt was a Communist, a socialist or the tool of a Jewish conspiracy. Critics on the left complained his policies didn't go far enough. Some of Roosevelt's opponents didn't stop at talk. Though it's barely remembered today, there was a genuine conspiracy to overthrow the president.

The Wall Street Putsch, as it's known today, was a plot by a group of right-wing financiers.

Just like 2021, Trump and his cult.

Wasn't FDR the guy who sent thousands of Americans to their death to defend Stalin, who murdered 20 million Ukrainians?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Go for it, Cowboy. Who's going to do your dirty work as you're at home sitting on your ass sipping beer?

That would be the work of thousands. Who do you suppose is going to be rounding up all those republican Nazis?

"Deplorables" is much preferable to "vermin." But, since Trump is verminish, karma will get him.

The george floyd murder protests were not called by, planned by, directed by, or inflamed by the president of the united states nor by the presidential candidate Joe Biden, as Jan 6th was by Trump.

The George Floyd protests were protesting his death and police brutality.

January 6th was a plan by president trump to illegally keep himself in power, by keeping congress from their constitutional duty, on 1/6....election subversion.

I never claimed they were. What I’m saying is those on the left have the same propensity toward violence that you claim the right has. It doesn’t matter who called what, when it comes to rioting and violence, the left are unmatched.

And, trump never called for, planned, facilitated or any other words you want to use, to call people to riot. I’ll never understand how you lefty’s just ignore complete phrases and words used by trump in order to justify your hate train.

Once again “go peacefully and patriotically to make your voices heard”. Not once did trump say “go to the capitol and attack it”. Not once did he say break in and threaten members of congress.

Go talk to your buddy Epps who was ON VIDEO inciting people to go into the capitol, and somehow just slipped through the cracks of prosecution.

If a school teacher says of wild and unruly children that they are acting “deplorably” she may just be telling it like it is. To say they are “vermin” will and should get her fired. The two words have entirely different meanings in everyday language and especially in political context. Unfortunately Hillary Clinton did often act like she was an uppity school teacher — which was one of her political weaknesses. Nothing, however, when compared to Trump’s regular language and demeanor.

I’ve been called worse than that by the left, are they Nazi’s or Hitler? Of course not but you partisan hypocrites don’t apply it to yourselves, you are so unaware.
