Trump knows what he’s doing when he calls his enemies “vermin” in his speeches and online. He’s dehumanizing them. This has happened to my community twice in my lifetime: once during World War II, and again during the pandemic. It is so dangerous, and Trump knows it. He’s preparing his base to do things that you can’t do to other humans, only to subhumans. Be warned. Be vigilant.

@georgetakei To be fair it is no worse than what the left has done to him. They have called him that and worse.
That said I dont particularly mind dehumanizing someone who doesnt act human (compassion towards their fellow man)... So dehumanize away, at worst ill judge you on who you target (as im sure Trump is targeting anyone who doesnt support him it is that aspect that speaks against him for me).
@freemo I'm sorry, do you think "the left" is a hive mind, a massive caricature that you can equate with one person? It is not possible to extrapolate what a handful in a group of billions of people said and compare it to the statements of one person. No, it is categorically untrue that "the left" has done worse, but saying so makes you feel better about yourself and playing the whataboutism logical fail game as you dehumanize over half the world's population
> I'm sorry, do you think "the left" is a hive mind, a massive caricature that you can equate with one person?
That would depend on which left we are talking about. In the USA, yea they are sadly largely a characteture of themselves. To a lesser extent this is true of most english speaking nations. But most of the left in non-english countries tend to be more accepting of nuance and discussion and I wouldnt be so quick to describe the left in the rest of the world in such ways.
That said even in america there are a select few on the left who dont fit that description. But its still a very large overwhelming majority
> It is not possible to extrapolate what a handful in a group of billions of people said and compare it to the statements of one person.
Agreed, but it is possible to extrapolate from what the overwhelming majoirity of a group says and compare that to the behavior of individuals. Which is mostly what I did there.
> but saying so makes you feel better about yourself and playing the whataboutism logical fail game as you dehumanize over half the world's population
As someone who is on the left myself, no, it doesnt make me feel good that the side I prefer behaves this way, much the opposite.
HA! I guess thats one way to respond to someone who directly answers each of your comments with detail... Welcome to the block list for wasting my time.
@freemo You made up things ("overwhelming majority") in your refutation, thereby showing you don't deserve a response. You just devolved into the dehumanizating fascism that the OP is warning against.
@freemo OK? That's a lot of ignorant gibberish, and it doesn't explain your silly (and very, very wrong) "It is no worse than what the left has done to him."
