krayj,

Draft dodging piece of shit tries telling me, a left leaning veteran of the US Marine Corps, that I am vermin…on veteran’s day. Yeah, get fucked, asshole.

Asafum,

If you’re not voting for him/paying him he couldn’t possibly care less about how you feel or what you think.

Great Leadership Qualities™®© in that there Trump fella I tells you hwat…

I swear if he had a “runs on dunkin” motto it would be something like “runs on hatred.”

reverendsteveii,

don’t forget that he also called you a sucker

crashoverride,

And a loser

Igloojoe,

He said everyone in arlington Cemetery is a loser, and that he questions whether the allied forces were the good guys…

LEDZeppelin,

Thank you for your service and showing what true patriotism means (as opposed to “Patriotism™️”)

Thank you for servicing me, Marine.

MagicShel,

I feel like he forgets we vowed to defend this nation against domestic enemies. Yeah my weapons are my voice and my vote instead of an M-16 (been out a long while), but I will still defend this country with every fiber of my being.

athos77,

Ah yes, more dehumanizing language from the person threatening to deploy the military against the people, and to put people he's dehumanized into massive camps. What could go wrong?

Edit: just a reminder that Hitler's rose to power by promising to make Germany great again.

Also that the Rwandan genocide was preceded by Hutus by calling the Tutsi minority "vermin" and "cockroaches"

Basically every act of mass violence begins with dehumanizing the enemy. Even well meaning people will be like “oh so he says inflammatory stuff, so what.” These words like ‘vermin’ are a specific call to action.

Uh oh, going to piss off his fascist base. I know he’s trying to associate it with just the left.

I’d love for these asshats to be made to define what they mean by a “Communist”, etc.

shadowSprite,

My very conservative mother (who I no longer speak to) once got mad at Amazon, as in Amazon.com the capitalist empire, and said that they were “the most communist thing ever.” Communists are whoever makes you mad or whoever the alt right media claims they are. Or something like that.

CharlesDarwin,
@CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world avatar

Oh, and sorry to hear about your mother. I suspect conservatism has destroyed more than a few family relationships.

CharlesDarwin,
@CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world avatar

I know, the weird pivot to hating on things like Amazon or “Big Tech” has been a strange turn. I mean, I know the cons like baby hands are pretending to be populist, but really? A lot of the base seem to be nothing but reprogrammable meatbots. If the likes of baby hands or tuckems or whatever tell them that these modern-day robber barons are “Communist” they’ll buy it. I mean some of them probably even think Elon is in on the Communist plot because of the EV and solar thing.

This, after years and years and decade upon decade of them pulling the Worthington’s Law on anyone criticizing the elite. That’s exactly what they pull for baby hands. But for “Big Tech” it suddenly is bad to amass billions of dollars because they have been told Big Tech - which has help to prop up and propagate literal Nazi content - has been busily censoring conservative speech (lol).

He should start rooting out the fascists with himself

Trump is accidentally right about the threat coming from inside this country. It absolutely is. But if he wants to see the threat, he needs to look in the mirror and look at his supporters - not at the left.

teft,
@teft@startrek.website avatar

The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave, than the threat from within.

I never thought I’d agree with the Orange Bellend but here we are. I guarantee we’re referring to different people though.

catfish,

Thats always his thing, he tried to interfere with the election? the prosecution is election interference. He committed fraud in NY? The GA is the fraud… Hes the worst threat of our times against democracy? No the people pointing it out are the actual threat, lmao. And so on its always somewhere in his whinny drivel. Impressive

Daft_ish,

Ahhh ReD!!! IM ScAREd!

RaoulDook,

If you follow the sentence structure, it actually reads like he is pledging to root out the assorted groups mentioned… to steal / cheat on elections… and to do anything possible to destroy America. That’s pretty much in line with his past efforts, so I have to wonder if this is intentional Doublespeak.

Hey familiar rhetoric:

NocturnalMorning,

The dailybeast… really?

LordOfTheChia,
utopianfiat,

That’s your reaction to the news of a politician discussing exterminating his political opponents? Really?

NocturnalMorning,

The dailybeast is barely a tabloid at best.

utopianfiat,

And?

Nurse_Robot,

You’ve gotten replies with other sources containing the same information. Do you care to edit your post, or do you want to double down on your missing-the-point attitude?

NocturnalMorning,

The dailybeast is still a tabloid. That hasn’t changed.

Nurse_Robot,

I see you’ve chosen the latter. How disappointing, but not surprising

This answer has nothing to do with what you were asked. Cope harder why don’t you? 🙄

protist,

Is there something contained in this article, 85% of which is direct quotes from Donald Trump, you think is factually incorrect or biased?

LordOfTheChia,

“Your honor I object!”

“On what basis?”

“On the basis that it’s devastating to my case!”

NocturnalMorning,

I’d rather not get my news from a tabloid that has a track record of being an awful source of, well anything, regardless of the topic. Is Trumps rhetoric horrifying, yes. That doesn’t suddenly make this a good source of information.

Bipta,

It doesn't matter whether this is generally a good source of information - it matters if this specific article is credible and accurate.

It is - almost the entire article is direct quotes - so your complaint is supremely moronic.

He wasn’t very thorough if ‘it didn’t stop him’ the country is still 65% vermin.

twisted28, (edited )

Because this time is exactly the same as the first time, isn’t it ? He just barely won the EC last time. He didn’t accomplish anything but tax cuts last term and his schtick is old news. A bunch of ChristoFascists will vote for him but it won’t even nearly be as close as 2016. The recent polls are land lines. The recent election though, showed where the electorate’s priorities are.

CADmonkey,

I don’t care, I’m going to vote anyway.

twisted28,

I’ve never spoken against voting and actively encourage it

CADmonkey,

I wasn’t clear in my comment. I meant that I dont care if the polls show my favored guy winning in a landslide, I’m still voting.

Complacency is what I think happened in 2016.

twisted28,

Definitely, Agreed

TechyDad,
@TechyDad@lemmy.world avatar

While I hope you’re right, we also can’t get complacent. I remember thinking Trump had no chance in 2016 also.

tocopherol,
@tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

His supporters fully believe his win was stolen the first time. If he does lose the election, that will not be the end of it. It seems like the real die hard supporters aren’t even aiming for a legitimate electoral win of any kind even if rigged, just pure coup. They are a tiny minority, but authoritarian governments are often supported and put in place by a small minority of the people.

twisted28,

His supporters are like the disabled children at a family reunion. Everyone has to work together to keep them from hurting themselves.

RunningInRVA,

Let’s hope you are right

Not_Alec_Baldwin,

His victory last time was entirely due to Hillary being a weak candidate and exploiting Cambridge Analytica’s illegal/immoral data scraping to tailor his message in swing regions.

While his base is more riled up this time, I’m pretty sure they are smaller, and many moderates that took a chance on him would never make that mistake again.

At least IMO. I guess we’ll see.

SCB,

What Trumpers perceive as the left is even larger. To them, Mitt Romney is a leftist RINO lol

njm1314,

Remember, arm yourselves while you can.

I just ordered a set of bear arms yesterday before they’re illegal

Arm≠firearm

“Who you gonna armwrestle” is a better retort.

JonEFive,

Me personally? Anyone who acts in a way that suggests that they are literally trying to exterminate me.

So probably no one.

dangblingus,

Might as well mock a physically handicapped person to cement your win while you’re at it, Donny. We know how much your supporters love it when you mock physically disabled people.

SpezBroughtMeHere,

I forget. When did he do that?

At least he didn’t say we are deplorable. That would have been front page news. /s

Try it, you fuck. I dare you. Give me even just the slightest justification to start killing your blind christian followers. I want it.

So now a part of the population needs to be ousted. Very patriotic. The American dream.

It’s good but I think 1984 was a better read. It sucks that the book has basically become a meme online, it’s actually quite good

“This vermin must be destroyed. The Jews are our sworn enemies, and at the end of this year there will not be a Jew left in Germany.” — Hitler, 1939

“We will root out the Communists, Marxists … and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within … our country.” — Trump, today

SkyeStarfall,

Not just that, Hitler also wanted leftist purged… and did. Because leftists were the primary group opposing him.

theuberwalrus,

The Nazis started with the leftists.

markr,

And sexual ‘deviants’.

SoleInvictus,
@SoleInvictus@lemmy.world avatar

I think people are misinterpreting your comment as “the Nazis originated from leftists” versus what I think you meant, that the Nazis went after leftists first after getting into power.

EmpathicVagrant,

Appropriate the name of your biggest obstacle, run under a false campaign and just flip like we’ve already seen practiced. It’s the biggest issue with blind voters

theuberwalrus,

You are right

captainlezbian,

Before. They were in street brawls with leftists early on and they consolidated power in the night of long knives by killing their left flank and “sexual deviant” members. When they came to power they built the camps for criminals and justified mass executions using the disabled and “sexual deviants”.

throwawayforobviousreasons,

Hitler had the right idea, but wasn't thinking big enough. The irony is if all christians, jews and muslims or any other delusional sky fairy believers were atomically purged from this earth, there wouldn't be any wannabes to sprout up and take his place.

Religion is the cancer that keeps on infecting. If the trumpists want a war, we will slaughter thousands of them without any remorse.

CharlesDarwin,
@CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world avatar

People - most especially the corporate media - had better start waking the fuck up and stop presenting the election of 2024 as if it’s a normal one. There is much more on the line than a GD horse race here.

This asshole means to do real damage to this country if he manages to slime his way into office again.

markr,

Corporate media like corporate everything else, is just fine with fascism as long as they can continue to extract rent from the peasants.

TechyDad,
@TechyDad@lemmy.world avatar

I doubt they’ll be immune to Trump’s rampage if he gets back into office. He’ll be out for the blood of anyone who ever reported on him in a negative way. CNN, NY Times, MSNBC, etc will likely have their offices raided due to criminal prosecutions. The crime? Criminal defamation of Lord Trump.

But in true “First they came for” fashion, they’ll keep acting as though this is all normal until they get rounded up. Then, they’ll expect the rest of us to stand up for them. Sadly, by that point, we’ll likely be in camps/prisons ourselves.

CharlesDarwin,
@CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, they will be one of the first at risk. People like baby hands and his cult don’t and won’t care that they are actually very corporate/conservative outlets; they were told they are “liberal”.

Kyrrrr,

Corporate media won’t profit from that though. They stand to gain a lot more by letting horrible things happen then fear mongering us into more views.

Genocide is temporary. Corporations are forever.

But seriously, everyone should be getting louder. Don’t wait for someone else to expose hateful rhetoric
