The Hitler trope? It's like half of this board takes talking points from the DNC and comes here to parrot them in an online circle jerk for the ages.
The irony: they talk about the dangerous rhetoric on the right and then we see Kamala go on a full on fearmongering campaign by recycling the Hitler/fascist line of attack, while at the same time Biden is saying we need to lock Trump up (he tried to rephrase but the damage was done).
It wasn't great when Trump was talking about locking Hillary up (remember the outcry?), and he was wise to walk it back and not do it. It doesn't make it OK for the left to do.
This talk is a turn off to an undecided voter, they aren't saying "oh yeah he's a fascist...I guess I should vote for her"
I will continue to judge Trump in his own words and behavior.
“Now if I don’t get elected it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country,”
Elect me or there will be violence.
"I don’t know if you call them ‘people.’ In some cases they’re not people, in my opinion,” he said on March 16 in Ohio. “But I’m not allowed to say that because the radical left says that’s a terrible thing to say …. These are bad — these are animals.”
“The Democrats say please don’t call them animals, they’re humans. I said no, they’re not humans, they’re animals. … I’ll use the word animal, because that’s what they are"
Scapegoating a common fascist tactic.
"There’s nobody that’s better, smarter or a better leader than Viktor Orbán. He’s a non-controversial figure because he says, ‘This is the way it’s going to be,’ and that’s the end of it. Right? He’s the boss
Idolizing authoritarians.
They’re poisoning the blood of our country. That’s what they’ve done. Mental institutions. Prisons all over the world. Not just from South America. Not just the three or four countries that we think about. But all over the world they’re coming into our country — from Africa, from Asia, all over the world.
Poisoning the blood is a phrase taken from Hitler as part of his scapegoating of the Jews.
“We will root out the Communists, Marxists, Fascists, and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our Country. … The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave, than the threat from within.”
More fascist tropes. As is the enemy within which has become a pattern for Trump.
"A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution."
Calling for the suspension of the Constitution.
I have been clear in stating that I don't think Trump is an actual fascist. He doesn't have an ideology. But I am tired of this gaslighting that this is a fabrication of the DNC. It should come as no surprise to us that his former staff is reporting concerns about his fitness and authoritarian impulses given that he is literally saying them out loud.
