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 @georgetakei
To be fair, Trump says a lot thats bigoted, racist, untrue, narcissistic & megalomaniacal, and /still/ leads the GOP. So what does that say about the GOP?
About the same thing it does that the DNC elected the first president in living memory who started his career by fighting to keep segregation alive... worse yet he said he was doing it for his son who he didnt want to be raised around people of other races in a "racial jungle"
Sadly while your assessments about GOP and Trump are valid, they hardly make the DNC look superior in the least.
@freemo I’m sure Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels would have been proud of the parallels drawn in that last line of reasoning. I don’t like everything the DNC does either, but to whitewash it by that comparison - is pretty damning. (Wow, talk about the creation of “shades of acceptable Nazism.”)
