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?

“Your honor I object!”

“On what basis?”

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Libleft. I’ve all but given up on the federal level, and the only reason I have any hope at all for the state is because it’s California. These days, I’m trying to get shit done at the local level.

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.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
