Trump claimed he would “root out” his enemies, referring specifically to “the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country” who “lie and cheat and steal on elections.” He says that undocumented immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country.” His opponents are "snowflakes . . . suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome and their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House.”
Let us be clear. Trump is a fascist who sounds more and more like Hitler with every passing day. He will destroy this country and everything we hold dear if we let him.
@marklemley I'm waiting for him to explain that Hitler was actually a very smart guy.

@SteveBellovin @marklemley Next he will be denouncing "degenerate art".

Seriously, I don't know how much clearer these warnings can get.

@mattblaze @SteveBellovin @marklemley Not to mention elite formalism in music, not reflecting the proper ideology of American realism. A muddle instead of music.
@SteveBellovin @marklemley He hasn't done that already?
@fgbjr @marklemley I don't recall him praising Hitler, as opposed to other murderous thugs.
Kurt Andersen

Seeing this from @MeidasTouch, thought of Trump telling General John Kelly: “Hitler did a lot of good things” AND “Why can’t you be like the German generals,” “totally loyal” to Hitler? Kelly: They “tried to kill Hitler 3 times.” Trump: “No, no, no, they were totally loyal.”

@marklemley

Please, please, please don't let him! 🙏🙏🙏🥴🥶🙏😞

@marklemley at least the media is finally starting to say this too. Not the NYT though.
@marklemley While electing him to another term as president would obviously be disastrous, his elevation of clearly fascist, xenophobic, racist rhetoric into mainstream political discourse does enormous damage by itself. It gives legitimacy and encouragement to fascists and racists, often with violent consequences.
@mattblaze @marklemley Yep, *he’s* the one “poisoning the blood of the country”.
@mattblaze @marklemley problem, the other ones support an equally fascist government at the east end of the Mediterranean
