So in speeches and social media over Veterans Day Trump repeatedly used the word "vermin". Now that's either his typical fascination with discovering a new vocabulary word (and overusing it), or he's been catching up on his Mein Kampf homework again...
"In the future, Hitler insisted, this would not be the case. He wrote in Mein Kampf (1924): “If the best men were dying at the front, the least we could do was to wipe out the vermin.”
Is it just a coincidnce that twice in a single weekend Trump referred to his political enemies as vermin? And where is the outrage from the people who were so upset when Clinton referred to a certain element within Trump's base as a "basket of deplorables"? Any of you MAGA types want to argue that "deplorable" is more vitrolic than "vermin"?
"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."
Notice how in his speech Trump singles out what he sees as "the Left" as vermin, but makes no mention of eliminating Nazis? Surely if we're going to eliminate people who want to "destroy America" and "conduct political terrorism" you have to start with the right wing who is responsible for (at a guess) 90% of the mass murders and poltical violence conducted in thde US over that past deacade"?
Let's blame fake boogeymen like Antifa, when we have the direct correlation between Neo-Nazis and far right radicals with multiple mass murders that I can name off the top of my head like Buffalo, the Pittsburgh synagogue, El Paso and Allen shootings in Texas. Even the clown who killed Fed Ex workers in Indy had Nazi propaganda on his phone...
So is Trump to blind to see all of those very obvious examples? Is that why he basicaally pooh poohs the probelm of "far right terrorism"?Couldn't be the Neo-Nazi segments within his core of supporters. Could it?
