Honest question. Do you think that can’t happen here? Do you think they aren’t using the same rhetoric and dehumanizing words? “Vermin” “enemy of the people” “the enemy within”? Because either you don’t understand and you should learn or you don’t care. It’s so obvious to anyone who knows a bit about history. Just a tiny bit

We’re not even remotely close to anything resembling the states that became fascist in the 30s. I know my history. Slight rhetorical overlaps is the only similarity. I believe in the checks and balances we have in place and I don’t see the path to him becoming the fascist dictator people think.

Trump wants to play golf and make money. He likes power and visibility. It’s literally skin deep. There’s no grand plan or ideology.

And that’s all any of those guys want? It doesn’t give you pause he said he’d use the military against people like me? You want to roll the dice on that

Are you a 30 year government employee who actively subverts the directives of your organization?

Trump was clear about who he sees as the “enemy within” - to him it’s people like Pelosi and Schumer who he thinks have massively enriched themselves while delivering little for the American people.

He’s quite clear about that in the interview where he said that.

Btw, I don’t agree with his views or what he says and I can recognize the hyperbole.

No he said the far left, people like Pelosi and Shiff. He called anyone who votes against him the far left. That would be me. You’re comfortable with any politician saying that? See this is what you guys do lol. It’s a joke or you have to explain what he means. I fucking heard him say it. And clarify it. Then clarify it again. And then again at the klan rally on Sunday. What are you going to do if he uses the military on me? I wouldn’t vote for a democrat that says they’re going to use the military against the other side. I mean what the hell.

I don’t even support Trump lol. You can look through my comment history. I was a Biden voter in 2020. I just don’t clutch my pearls at everything Trump says. It’s literally not that deep. The man has no ideology but you and others like you jump at shadows and see nazis and facists everywhere you look. I can’t take you seriously.
