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.

    “Palestinians elected Hamas” isn’t the gotcha that you think it is. Palestine hasn’t had a free election since 2006, when Hamas postured themselves as the moderate party against the liberal Fatah, who were embroiled in a corruption scandal at the time. As soon as Hamas took power, they shifted to fundamentalism and ceased elections.

    There are people living in Palestine right now who have never had a say in their own government because they weren’t born when the current regime took power.

      I’m not saying it as a gotcha, I’m stating it as a fact. Hamas is Palestinian, made up of Palestinians and currently representing the Palestinian people to the world.

      It’s not wrong to say Hamas is Palestinian, it’s 100% accurate and truthful.

      Hamas existed well before they were elected, their founding Charter is based on Islamic jihadism. You’re not so ignorant as to believe that the people of Gaza weren’t aware of this when electing them, and if you are then please get off tik tok and touch some grass.
