          I think people are misinterpreting your comment as “the Nazis originated from leftists” versus what I think you meant, that the Nazis went after leftists first after getting into power.

            Before. They were in street brawls with leftists early on and they consolidated power in the night of long knives by killing their left flank and “sexual deviant” members. When they came to power they built the camps for criminals and justified mass executions using the disabled and “sexual deviants”.

            Appropriate the name of your biggest obstacle, run under a false campaign and just flip like we’ve already seen practiced. It’s the biggest issue with blind voters

      “Look, Trump wants 100% of the power and to send 100% of the people on the left into camps. Why don’t you compromise by giving him 50% of the power and then he’ll only send 50% of you to camps? … Now he has 50% and wants 100%, you should compromise and give him 75%…”

      (And I say this as someone who thinks compromise can be a useful political tool. But only when the group you’re compromising with is bargaining in good faith. The Republicans of today - and certainly MAGAs like Trump - aren’t bargaining in good faith.)

        That’s been the only kind of compromise for decades, to the point that people behave as though this is normal.

      Ok I can agree with the republicans that there’s an existential threat to the country from within, I just think it’s the people marching with swastikas and whose candidates slip in a sonnenrad to campaign videos.

      I want communism, sure, but I want to convince my country to embrace the seizure of the means of production, not to force it to.

        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.

    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.

        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.

    People - most especially the corporate media - had better start waking the fuck up and stop presenting the election of 2024 as if it’s a normal one. There is much more on the line than a GD horse race here.

    This asshole means to do real damage to this country if he manages to slime his way into office again.

        I doubt they’ll be immune to Trump’s rampage if he gets back into office. He’ll be out for the blood of anyone who ever reported on him in a negative way. CNN, NY Times, MSNBC, etc will likely have their offices raided due to criminal prosecutions. The crime? Criminal defamation of Lord Trump.

        But in true “First they came for” fashion, they’ll keep acting as though this is all normal until they get rounded up. Then, they’ll expect the rest of us to stand up for them. Sadly, by that point, we’ll likely be in camps/prisons ourselves.

          Yes, they will be one of the first at risk. People like baby hands and his cult don’t and won’t care that they are actually very corporate/conservative outlets; they were told they are “liberal”.

      Corporate media won’t profit from that though. They stand to gain a lot more by letting horrible things happen then fear mongering us into more views.

      Genocide is temporary. Corporations are forever.

      But seriously, everyone should be getting louder. Don’t wait for someone else to expose hateful rhetoric

        The weird thing is that the US far-right will often support Israel, even if they are Jewish, I think because they are seen as whiter compared to Arab people like Palestinians. And for fundamentalist Christians there is some prophecy about Israel bringing the end-times to save humanity or whatever.
