The dailybeast… really?
That’s your reaction to the news of a politician discussing exterminating his political opponents? Really?
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?
Is there something contained in this article, 85% of which is direct quotes from Donald Trump, you think is factually incorrect or biased?
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.
find me a fucking leftist in this country please. I know 6 and they’re instagram meme accounts.
I feel like there are a lot of us that just aren’t open about it because so many people have ignorant views about socialism, we’d rather save ourselves the headache. Or maybe worried of an employer judging it and getting fired, or police investigating, which US and other security forces have been known to do to leftists of all types.
“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
Not just that, Hitler also wanted leftist purged… and did. Because leftists were the primary group opposing him.
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.
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.
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.
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.
