Trump’s Dire Words Raise New Fears About His Authoritarianism

[BidenPresident]

But now, in his third presidential bid, some of his most vicious and debasing attacks have been leveled at domestic opponents.

During a Veterans Day speech, Mr. Trump used language that echoed authoritarian leaders who rose to power in Germany and Italy in the 1930s, degrading his political adversaries as “vermin” who needed to be “rooted out.”

“The threat from outside forces,” Mr. Trump said, “is far less sinister, dangerous and grave than the threat from within.”

“There are echoes of fascist rhetoric, and they’re very precise,” said Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a professor at New York University who studies fascism. “The overall strategy is an obvious one of dehumanizing people so that the public will not have as much of an outcry at the things that you want to do.”

It's as obvious as anything. He's not mincing his words.

It's all happening in broad daylight. Future historians will marvel at how we somehow missed it.

It is absolutely true that the best way to destroy a society is from within. Leftists have spend decades fostering dissent and disagreement between Americans. The evidence for that claim is that anyone who disagrees with leftists is labeled a homophobe, transphobe, sexist, racist, bigot, fascist and the list goes on and on and on and on. On top of that a leftist candidate called half the population deplorable. If this country is fucked it's thanks to the forces within, leftists, who hate America and Americans.
