Donald Trump’s campaign spokesman defended Trump using “vermin” to describe his enemies, while historians compared his language to Hitler, Mousselini.

    So as a non-American, what you’re not seeing is that none of these words are ever applied correctly in the US. The “communists, marxists, fascists, and radical left” that Trump is talking about are all words he uses to describe anyone who disagrees with him.

    For instance, those fighting for transgender rights are commonly labeled Marxist fascists by Trump and his supporters

      Yes, he calls people who he disagrees with “vermin” (which is bad) and Biden calls him Hitler and his supporters MAGA terrorists (which is bad). So, one is OK by Lemmy, one not. Interesting.

        One of those is accurate. It’s not an insult if it is a descriptor.
