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’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.

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.

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.
