It’s Official: With “Vermin,” Trump Is Now Using Straight-up Nazi Talk He’s telling us what he will do to his political enemies if he’s president again. Is anyone listening?

I feel pretty safe in saying that we can now stop giving him the benefit of that particular doubt. His use—twice; once on social media, and then repeated in a speech—of the word “vermin” to describe his political enemies cannot be an accident. That’s an unusual word choice. It’s not a smear that one just grabs out of the air. And it appears in history chiefly in one context, and one context only.

      The messed up thing is that even locking him up might not stop it, and in fact may accelerate it. We’re f’ing doomed.

        Gosh if only we had some way of altering the flow of events other than locking people up for their ideas.

        Guess there’s just no way

          Honestly, I’m so sick and tired of anyone left of insane here not willing to do what must be done. Time to make those fema camp conspiracy theories come true

      I think it’s coming regardless. The losing party of the next presidential election will probably be the one to rise up, regardless of which party it is. Honestly, if Trump wins, I can see the left revolting, and if Trump loses, I can see the hard right revolting. I think it’s a lose/lose situation.
