It’s Official: With “Vermin,” Trump Is Now Using Straight-up Nazi Talk He’s telling us what he will do to his political enemies if he’s president again. Is anyone listening?

I feel pretty safe in saying that we can now stop giving him the benefit of that particular doubt. 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.

Moving the goal posts again, I see. He did not do shit last time, you say.

But hey, maybe you guys can keep dodging these Nazi bullets.

I think you will find there is a whole list of shit, if you actually gave a fuck. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Trump_administration_controversies

What do you mean by "you guys"? Also you think Biden doesn't have a page like that? He hasn't done shit either.

I'm unclear what you mean by "done shit". Do you mean to say has not enacted any policy or performed any duties of governance? Or do you mean followed up on violent threats?

Also, Biden does have a page like that. It's not even 1/10th the size of Tonald Drump's page.
