He’s telling us what he will do to his political enemies if he’s president again. Is anyone listening?

It’s Official: With “Vermin,” Trump Is Now Using Straight-up Nazi Talk He’s telling us what he will do to his political enemies if he’s president again. Is anyone listening?

I feel pretty safe in saying that we can now stop giving him the benefit of that particular doubt. His use—twice; once on social media, and then repeated in a speech—of the word “vermin” to describe his political enemies cannot be an accident. That’s an unusual word choice. It’s not a smear that one just grabs out of the air. And it appears in history chiefly in one context, and one context only.

    Every time I think it can’t get worse… This fucker is a pro. I need to stop underestimating him. Speed-run to fascism in less than a decade.

      The dominoes have been getting set up since the 70s. Just because it looks fast once they start getting knocked over doesn’t mean there hasn’t been extensive prep in getting there.

      I mean we do have the internet now so it makes sense things are at least a smidgen faster Maybe if you account for that variable the Nazis had approximately the same timeline?
