Trump calls political enemies ‘vermin,’ echoing dictators Hitler, Mussolini

[BackAgain]

You're right, vermin. Its quite refreshing, vermin.

Zinc sometimes posts intelligently. The above quoted post is clearly not an example of that.

There is a lot of truth in this comment. The lame duck “commander-in-chief” directly counterposed himself and his megalomaniacal narcissism to the interests of the Republic he was sworn to protect, remaining silent for hours as his supporters battled police, invaded the Capitol and interrupted the peaceful transition of power.

This made him even more powerful enemies within the Establishment as well as outside it. If he had really won the election as he claimed and were not just an power-obsessed maniac, had he a real program that could unify and rally most of our nation around a program for change … his actions would not matter to me much. But Trump is Trump. Not a responsible leader but a conman who has painted himself and the nation into a corner, totally willing to bring down our Republic and destroy national unity in these difficult times … just to save himself.

The issue was he was right about Democrats, and the deep state, and they couldn't have him making waves, you are a traitor to the republic, and should be hanged accordingly. The Establishment is the problem as they have given themselves unchecked power.

Yes, and...

While he is doing that, there are others who are using him for their own agenda. People like Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon. Trump is just protecting his fragile ego, while the others are trying to take us back to 30's Europe.

Trump doesn't write those speeches. Yes, he was clearly willing to use "vermin", but he doesn't have the capacity to understand the historical implications. Miller and Bannon DO.

I think he may just be the shiny puppet here, and I don't think that either he or his credulous rube base realize what is happening.

Of course the Establishment is the problem but they are the problem we know and they do not always go unchecked. I draw the line at giving someone like Trump unchecked power

Key facts to know about the Jan. 6 insurrection

How many people took part in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot? How many were arrested? How long did Trump speak before the insurrection? The answers readers need to know.

www.latimes.com

More than 140 law enforcement officers were physically harmed during the insurrection, according to a special congressional committee investigating the attack. In a July hearing, a District of Columbia police officer recounted a chaotic and violent day where he was tased in the head several times by rioters and beaten unconscious.

One, that committee was the Nazi Piglosi Clown Show. Zero credibility.

Second, in the first sentence of your link it claims they were armed with Molotov cocktails. Bullshit.

Vermin always get upset when they get called out for being vermin

 

[Nostra]

They are in real courts. I note you're calling everyone "vermin" now. But you're not in Cult.

No, they are in Dimtard kangaroo courts, KKKanadian vermin.

 

[Delldude]

There’s a difference and it’s a big one.

Good point....

You KILL vermin

Lot of black people must have been viewed as vermin in the south by democrats is what you're also saying?

 

[Nostra]

They're telling us what they are, more every day.

Pretty soon, they'll just come out and say it. If Trump wins next year, I'm sure they will.

BOO!

 

[BackAgain]

BOO!

Which word is scarier to our liberals today; “boo” or “vermin?”

Just for that, you get the goose.

"We will root out the Communists, Marxists, Fascists, and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country, lie, steal, and cheat on elections, and will do anything possible, whether legally or illegally to destroy America, and the American Dream" --Donald Trump in a campaign speech

Holy Mein Kampf, Batman, Trump's been sniffing crazy glue!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/12/trump-rally-vermin-political-opponents/

“The language is the language that dictators use to instill fear,” said Timothy Naftali, a senior research scholar at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs. “When you dehumanize an opponent, you strip them of their constitutional rights to participate securely in a democracy because you’re saying they’re not human. That’s what dictators do.”​

​

Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a historian at New York University, said in an email to The Washington Post that “calling people 'vermin’ was used effectively by Hitler and Mussolini to dehumanize people and encourage their followers to engage in violence.”​

​

“Trump is also using projection: note that he mentions all kinds of authoritarians ‘communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left’ to set himself up as the deliverer of freedom,” Ben-Ghiat said. “Mussolini promised freedom to his people too and then declared dictatorship.”​

​

​

I seem to recall Republicans having a conniption when Hillary called them ''deplorables', but how silent they are when Trump acts like a second rate wannabe dictator.​

​

But Republicans love this type of rhetoric. It's not about making America Great, it's about owning the libs. Not a very good basis to run a country, and forget about unity, not with this guy.​

​

He's making plans, if he regains office.....​

​

Trump planning sweeping raids, detention camps, and mass deportations if re-elected in 2025, NYT reports​

​

​

Trump is going to lose middle America, now he's getting scary.​

Next post all of the things Democrats have called Trump ...

Democrats are vermin, so that must be it. Everything they do is hypocrisy

 

[Calypso Jones]

Not to you. And it's your dumb ass alone that will put Trump over the top, right? It's just ol Trumpy out there making new friends with his gums flapping. He's pissed because things don't go his way in his fraud trial and he can't control his rage. That's why he says stuff like that. Cause he has no self control. He's gotta let it all hang out for every undecided voter out there to make of it what they want.

and he just keeps rising in the polls..that has to just chap your butt.

The moment came when CNN host Abby Phillip asked about how Trump called his political opponents “vermin.”Vivek then flipped the script and went off on the media for obsessing with small incidents instead of the bigger issue.“This is a classic mainstream media move. Pick some individual phrase of Donald Trump. Focus on literally that word without actually interrogating the substance of what's at issue.”“The word was chosen for a reason. It's actually describing a series of behaviors. You have Antifa and other related groups that have been burning down cities for the last three years in this country.”“They're violating the rule of law. We have an invasion on our southern border. We have millions of people crossing our southern border. Let's talk about the substance.”

 

[dudmuck]

Your link doesn’t come close to backing up your claim, vermin.

Try again.

all 54 of those involve some sort of statement from Trump.

Remember Ricky Shiffer; what incited him to do that shit.

there have long been many instances of Trump encouraging political violence. Axios has compiled a list. As has ABC News. And Vox. And the New York Times. Often, it’s been tough-guy bluster, with Trump telling law officers to handle suspects roughly, pledging to shoot looters, or saying to attendees at his rally that it’s okay to beat up protestors. Stochastic terrorism is more indirect and perhaps more effective: It’s pinning a bull’s-eye on the back of an opponent in a volatile situation—perhaps suggesting the world would be safer without this supposed threat—knowing this could lead to violence against that target. It’s indirect incitement, inspiring someone else to do the dirty work.

Every asshole who flipped to STATES WITNESS against TRUMP is VERMIN.

Fucking RATS.

Cult fucks hate whistleblowing rats....unless they rat on opponents. of the left. Then it is ok to rat.

Call Vermin What They Are and the MSM Says You've Gone Full Hitler

So Donald Trump, quite appropriately, called them 'vermin' and the MSM is in full meltdown mode. Maybe it's more like full breakdown mode. Maybe the MSM is in its final stage of terminal TDS. Good! “We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical...
