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

"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
Truth hurt your ideology?

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.​


Trump is a pseudo populist demagogue.

 
So Joe Biden veers to the radical left after 40+ years as a middle of the road politician?

Must be something in the water in DC.


In addition to its political stances, the MAGA movement is known for its particularly combative character, which exemplifies the extreme partisanship of contemporary American politics. In keeping with that stance, controversial rhetoric has flourished within the movement, including messages that critics see as homophobic, sexist, or racist or as inciting violence.

The MAGA movement is also known for having an antagonistic relationship with mainstream news media, which are thought by a majority in the movement to be biased against MAGA views, at best, and to be lying on behalf of the movement’s enemies, at worst. This belief has resulted in a vulnerability among MAGA members to false news stories and particularly far-fetched conspiracy theories circulated by MAGA-supporting media outlets and repeated by MAGA leaders.

Examples include charges that Democratic former president Barack Obama is not a native-born U.S. citizen (“birtherism”), that Democrats’ immigration policies aim to replace white Americans with nonwhite immigrants (see replacement theory), that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Trump by Democrats through massive voter fraud, and that the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, in which a mob of Trump supporters attempted to halt Congress’s certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election, was actually staged by left-wing forces.

Noted deflection from the topic of Biden being advised by communists, Marxists, fascists and left wing thugs.
 
The NYTimes dotcom reported fictional deeds about the Right back in the nineties, and they are renewing their disingenuous little fibbies on Republican dignitaries as ever. It'sas forgettable le

I reserve the right to make a call on unproven commentary that refuses to validate controversial drivel, ma'am. Nowhere did I say someone's unproven drivel could not be said.

Why do you continually believe right wing lies. You need to be a whole lot smarter than that.

That's not a topic. That's just more bullshit you choose to believe.

None of Biden's advisors have been arrested, convicted or jailed. There are no "commies" or "thugs". Dozens of Trump White Staffers were turned down for security clearances. That hasn't happened with Biden,

The THUG President, is the convicted felon and his merry band of crooks, liars and seditionists.

"Dozens of people in President Donald Trump’s administration were granted security clearances despite “disqualifying issues” in their backgrounds, including concerns about foreign influence, drug use and criminal conduct."
 
Biden has no convicted felons among his advisors.
However, he gave Bernie's Marxist communists jobs for the Bernie vote. Trump's 'convicted felons' rape, murder or hurt anyone?

"Dozens of people in President Donald Trump’s administration were granted security clearances despite “disqualifying issues” in their backgrounds, including concerns about foreign influence, drug use and criminal conduct."
Was Trump the first president to do that? Inquiring minds want to know.
 
beautress has taxation with representation, so get over yourself, beauty,
Beauty is in the heart, Chief, but governments can be heartless when it fails to bring prosperity to the masses. America chose equality and states that love and help each other. Freedom to be oneself is a human right in our country. Happy July 4, John Edgar Slow Horses. We tend to love the Land of the Free and keep it out of monarchy's rule and prefer one person, one vote come decision times.
