Trump's rhetoric is increasingly mirroring Nazi talking points, and nobody is paying attention, an expert on extremism warns

  • For years, Donald Trump has been condemned for fiery rhetoric that critics say sounds authoritarian.
  • Lately, his speeches have had even more overtly fascist themes, an expert on extremism told BI.
  • Peter Simi, who testified against Trump, explained why people seem numb to his increasingly violent remarks.
In recent weeks, Donald Trump has doubled and even tripled down on the charged rhetoric that critics have lamented sounds like it's coming from the mouth of an authoritarian leader as opposed to a candidate for president of a democracy.

During his Veteran's Day speech late last month, the former president compared his political opponents to "vermin," adding in a post on Truth Social that he pledged to "root out the Communists, Marxists, Fascists, and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country."

Though some critics seized upon the remark, conflating the incendiary remarks with Nazi talking points that targeted Jews during the Holocaust, Trump's comments weren't met with the same explosive news coverage he previously faced for similar statements.

So, he has continued making them.

On December 6, when asked if he'd abuse his power as retribution against his political foes, the former president told Fox News host Sean Hannity that, should he be re-elected in 2024, he'll only be a dictator "on day one."

On December 17, Trump declared immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country," a statement that drew ire from the Biden White House, which said the comments "parroted Adolf Hitler."

Despite the escalating rhetoric, none of Trump's recent remarks have seemed to garner the same outrage that he has in the past.

Folks really need to pay attention to the garbage this clown is spewing.

Seems as though folks have gotten numb to his propaganda and they just accept it as normal.

/----/ Oh horseshyt. Grow up and filed a viable candidate.
 
The usual nothing.
Progs do not forgive. Except for their own. Look at Jimmy Kimmel. A misogynist and a racist. He proved it on past TV appearances. He now destroys anyone who is a Republican. He lashes out on a public platform that he should not do. So, a football star he has had some words on in the past says something ack like Jimmy is on Epstein's List for some reason, he goes off insulting Rodgers and threatening to sue when he has made a career of doing what he had accused the football player of.
