He's doing it almost daily so it's easy to get inured, but (taps sign) dehumanization is a classic hallmark of pre-genocidal rhetoric. Every alarm bell should go off every time Trump or anyone else says this.
Genocide Joe has made it extremely clear both by his words and by his deeds in office that he fundamentally agrees with Trump on this. Trump could quite literally not do worse things than Biden has been doing, which is not to say he wouldn't try. He lacks the skills of using state power.
I mean, good grief. Are we just gonna sleepwalk through this? This should be an all-hands situation. Kermit boils, yet for now, remains unaware that "the god damn plane has crashed into the mountain!" It is here. The moment.
I’m most worried Trump seems to vibe, or at least embolden, a certain Elon/Thiel/Ackerman/Sacks/Garry Tan/Andreesen type of rich, techbro, anti-woke “moderates”.
We’re seeing it vividly in San Francisco, where tech+real estate allied on the successful pro-cop ballot measures.
I know it's a small thing but the men behind him are sharing one neck amongst the lot of them and for some reason that is pulling my focus off the genocidal maniac
This is true. It is also true that most of his supporters are 65+ year old Fox News viewers (median age: 68+) who will never leave their recliners, let alone commit genocide.
Yes, and more specifically, people should demand that the Biden admin jail the guy. Not for his racist rhetoric per se, but for his coup attempt and constant incitement afterward. Let him shout at a cell wall.
Hitler gave an infamous speech where he described the Jews as waves of rats, an "infestation." By the time he got there, he'd said it and other things like it so many times that it was no longer shocking.
We know what followed.
He’s going to get away with it. Why? Because Presidents have ALWAYS said things like this - but we never did anything about it, because they were polite.
The minute Andrew Jackson muttered words like this, we should have risen as one body and torn him limb from limb as a warning to all his kind.
Ancillary, but it's completely unacceptable to advocate abuse of nonhuman animals so cavalierly. He utterly lacks any kind of empathy.
See also, his long-repeated rhetoric invoking cruelty to dogs.
There is nothing redeeming about his sociopathy.
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Who are are these people in uniform? These people supposedly upholding the law are supporting a criminal, cheat, racist, liar, and rapist. If a private citizen, they should be wearing civilian clothes. They don't care if they break the rules, just like the Angry Mandarin Orange does not care.
He should be behind bars .
Put him there for a few nights and he'll have time to attend the trial and still run his broke ass campaign.
But put him on a bed bunk for a few nights.
That might straighten some realities for both him and the judiciary.
I was poking fun at some Gravy Seals on Facebook the other day. And one of them replied with "I can't wait for civil war to start so I can put all you fat fucking faggot liberals down like the mongrels you are."
And of course his profile has the "God, Family, Country" in the bio.
Admittedly, pre-genocidal rhetoric is very bad. But it might be easy to be inured in part because the current president is mid-genocide right now, continuing to verbally and financially support it. There are no anti-genocide candidates for the presidency, and very few in office at all.
Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity.

Think of things Trump said back in 2015 that were less egregious but should have ended his campaign there and then. See how much we have normalized his disgusting behavior and dangerous rhetoric?
