Well trump is a dump piece of shit! Now we’re both calling each other names!

The difference is that Trump has an (increasingly literal) army of thugs ready and raring to inflict violence on us "vermin," and you don't. Trump is not just "calling [people] names;" he's making credible threats.

Anybody who tries to minimize this with false equivalences is either dangerously naive or spreading disinformation.

I’m all for his REAL supporters proving it by getting TRUMP or MAGA tattooed on their foreheads. Problem with red hats is you can take them off.

Rwanda comes to mind. Scary

Hah. Somebody on Reddit called mine "the most uninformed comment I've ever seen" for drawing that comparison. I haven't logged in over there since June 30th, otherwise I'd go back and rub their face in it. Oh, also, I hate being right about this one.

Cockroaches (Rwanda, 1994)

Vermin (US, 2023)

There's a comparison to be made here
