    Anxiety surges as Donald Trump may be indicted soon: Why 2024 is 'the final battle' and 'the big one'​


    WASHINGTON – It looks like American politics is entering a new age of anxiety, triggered by an unprecedented legal development: The potential indictment of a former president and current presidential candidate.

    Donald Trump's many legal problems – and calls for protests by his followers – have generated new fears of political violence and anxiety about the unknowable impact all this will have on the already-tense 2024 presidential election


    I’ll reframe this is a more accurate way, Are Presidents above the law? This new age was spurred into existence when home grown dummies elected a corrupt, mentally ill, anti-democratic, would be dictator as President and don’t bother to hold him responsible for his crimes, don’t want to because in the ensuing mayhem and destruction, they think they will be better off. The man is actually advocating violence (not the first time). And btw, screw democracy too. If this feeling spreads, we are In deep shirt.

    This goes beyond one treasonous Peice of work and out to all his minions. This is on you or should we be sympathetic to the idea of they can’t help being selfish suckers to the Nation’s detriment? Donald Trump is the single largest individual threat to our democracy and it‘s all going to boil down to will the majority of the GOP return to his embrace and start slinging his excrement to support him?
     
    Not in the Nazi-like use of the word, no. One is describing a natural phenomenon and comparing people deserting a cause that is sinking to rats deserting a sinking ship. The other is using the word “vermin” to dehumanize political opponents and with the added benefit of Trump promising to eliminate these vermin from our country. Even you should be able to see the difference here, it’s not difficult.

    Look, I can have a nuanced discussion about this subject, but I doubt that is what you want. In fact, I’m positive you don’t want that.

    So that is an Op-Ed piece. It’s the same one you keep showing over and over. Did you read it? What did she say that is relative to Nazi rhetoric? Or did the word simply trigger you? Can you imagine that the word itself isn’t Nazi-adjacent but that the context and meaning of the post (in Trump’s case) was?

    Until you read this Op-Ed piece and come back and explain how she used Nazi-like rhetoric, then there isn’t anything to discuss. I’ll be waiting.

    Do you think the op-ed's aren't part of the Washington Post? No I didn't read it. I wouldn't waste my money on a newspaper that's basically an arm of the Democrat Party.

    I don't care about anyone calling someone a rat or vermin. What I posted was the Washington Post saying Trump was a fascist for using the term vermin whereas the Washington Post has called Trump vermin and a rat. So the Washington Post got caught comparing Trump to a fascist for things that the Washington Post has done itself. Obvious hypocrisy.

    Calling A person a rat is one thing. Calling a group of people vermin is a very different thing.

    • Nazi officials used propaganda to dehumanize Jews and other persecuted enemies of their regime as diseased-riddle vermin, degenerates and racially inferior, according to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. Hutus massacred Tutsis they labeled “cockroaches” during the Rwandan Genocide in the 1990s, according to Human Rights Watch
    • Biden’s campaign denounced the remarks on Monday, drawing a direct comparison to Hitler and Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini

    • “It doesn’t echo ‘Mein Kampf,’ this is textbook ‘Mein Kampf,’” said Jason Stanley, a Yale professor and author of “How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them”

    A rat is a vermin. Also, Washington Post:

    No, you don’t understand the context. Like at all. It’s not the word itself, although that is an odd word not used very much, and especially by someone like Trump who has a very limited vocabulary. It is what he said, and how he said it. The fact that he used “vermin” was just like the final straw pointing to what he is talking about.

    Isn’t it a bit hypocritical to use an article to supposedly prove a point, while refusing to even read the article? What that means is that you do care about the word vermin, because that is all you can glean from reading the title.

    Op-Ed writers are not always employees of the media that publishes them. I don’t know who she is or if she has any connection to WaPo.
     
    I don't care about it either way. Just pointing out the Washington Post's and your hypocrisy.
    The word is the ONLY thing you have. You can’t prove hypocrisy just because of one word. This is complete nonsense.
     
    Could be but maybe it is also some kind of self-preservation. There is a big "don't buy from Home-depot" trend on twitter running right now due to his previous large donations to Trumps campaign

    If thats the case, then the execuation will back fire... now people are going to come out on the right and boycot Home Depot because of this.

     
    I’m not sure he is actually associated with Home Depot at this point. He’s one of the founders is all.

    Trump was the one that started getting corporations into picking sides I think it was when he attacked cocacola that started it.
     
    You don't get it. The Washington Post called Trump vermin. Trump is calling a group of people vermin. There's a BIG difference. Understand?
    And this is where SFL stopped posting and waited for the next Twitter thread.

    You can always tell when the light goes on for him because he just completely disappears.
