Paul Krugman's Deranged Call to Purge America of MAGA Is Scarier Than You Think
Paul Krugman's Deranged Call to Purge America of MAGA Is Scarier Than You Think
Paul Krugman urges a 'deMAGAfication' of America, sparking fears of political purges and division.
It is now so common for leftists, indeed most Democrats, to call Trump supporters Nazis that it's easy to shrug and move on.
Unfortunately, as much as we would like to think it is a mere rhetorical flourish, it is not one at all. If you think that Democrats aren't serious when they propose what sound like insane measures, just remember what they did during COVID, what they are doing with alphabet ideology (literally sterilizing and mutilating kids and putting sex offenders into girls' locker rooms), and what they did to President Trump before his reelection.
They are quite serious about all the insane things they talk about, including Paul Krugman's call to "deMAGAfy" America, mirroring the measures taken after the Allies' victory in World War II.

Krugman is not alone. Others have referred to Bush's "deBaathification" after the victory in the Iraq War.
If you don't know what that means exactly, let me tell you: outlawing political parties, rooting out supporters of the political cause you want to purge, removing academics, doctors, and other professionals associated with the movement, and banning them all from public life. It is Ursula von der Leyen's wet dream when it comes to AfD.
There were also, of course, trials and executions for the top-level malefactors. And Rudolf Hess served life in prison until his death in 1987, at the age of 93. I assume Trump would get either the execution or life in prison.
Americans have a hard time believing that their neighbors can really think like this, but the evidence is everywhere. In a 2022 poll, half of Democrats supported criminal penalties for questioning the effectiveness of vaccines. A substantial fraction wanted what amounted to COVID concentration camps and to take away children from parents who opposed forced vaccinations against COVID.
Biden was building an entire censorship regime, sent the FBI after social media posters who dissented from his policies, and suppressed news he didn't like. He sent his Deputy Attorney General to New York to become the primary prosecutor of Donald Trump in the bogus criminal case against him.
And that was before the communist wing of the party became ascendant.
Jonathan Turley has been ringing the alarm bells on the New Jacobins, who are bringing the spirit of the French Revolution to America, and reminds us that it was the same class of people who ushered in The Terror that is now leading the New Jacobins in the United States. It wasn't the working classes who led the revolt. It was the professional classes.

Democrats are quite open about chucking the Constitution and seizing power. That may seem inconceivable, so many assume it is all rhetoric.
It is not. They really mean it. And their hope is a Democratic sweep this November and seizing the presidency in 2028. If they manage that, they will start their project to pack the Supreme Court, add new leftist states to lock in Senate dominance, and it's off to the races.
Think Walz or Spanberger on steroids. And perhaps even more, like "deMAGAfication."
Commentary:
Democrats and their love of racism, antisemitism, eugenics and genocide
The Democrat left became really emboldened under Biden. There is nothing I would put past them. They have already tried to assassinate President Trump several times. I think they will make another attempt on Trump’s life, unfortunately.
Democrats never seem to consider the real consequences of their words, and the fact that two can play at that game
Maybe America needs to be “De-krugmanized”
And there’s a lot of people who would be willing to do it if the Left ever goes truly insane.
The ignorant, Democrat Communist, left wing is too stupid to understand that they are the first one the alligator will eat!!!
Democrat support of Graham Platner trying to hide his Nazi tattoo and spurious remarks about fellow soldiers is obviously a tell.
Are the Democrats and their lackeys in the press like Krugman advocating for a MAGA purge? Yes.
Do Republicans have the means to punch back? Yes.
Do something. Don’t just sit there crying and soiling your underwear. Its pathetic.
