Worse. Hitler was known to sit in a chair. Trump frequently sits in a chair. They are the same man with the same habits.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Why would any politician use the word “vermin” when referring to the opposition?

What does one do when confronted with vermin? One exterminates them.

Trump is exceedingly dangerous folks.

Words can be very dangerous.

He is also correct they are VERMIN.

How would you know? You don't know what fascism is.

 

[Mac1958]

Yep. It's not only his idiot basetards who will get him the nomination. He also has top 2%ers like billionaire Leonard Leo who want Trump back in power.

These poor, manipulated souls clearly don't know their history.

Right wing dictatorships don't end well.

"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.​

[Mac1958]

Another time people were described as "vermin":

 

[Mac1958]

Peace, love and tolerance!!!!!!

Deflection noted and appreciated, phony Christian.

 

[Mac1958]

Uh…Pandora’s box was opened with the basket of deplorable comment..

It's always someone else's fault for the Trumpsters. One word caused all this, huh?

You people are so goddamn weak and helpless.

God, you’re stupid.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

We were seconds away from those idiots overthrowing the most powerful military in the history of the planet, right Simp?

They plotted to, Q-NUT.
That's all that matters.
If a person walks into the bank demands $$$ but doesn't get any, they are still guilty of the intent.
SIMP.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Didn’t your side riot at the White House?

NO.

Didn’t your side spend most of 2020 burning and destroying stuff in cities, property of people who had nothing to do with Floyd’s death ?

NO.
You watch too much right wing opinion shows.

 

[ThisIsMe]

NO.

NO.
You watch too much right wing opinion shows.

And you spend too much time deflecting. Both of what I said are true. The question part of them were rhetorical.

Neither are true. There is no comparison.
