pity our poor beleaguered national press. they’ve been trying like hell to treat the shitcanning of democracy and the rise of authoritarianism in the United States as if this were just another plain old horse-race election season.

but on Saturday, both on his crappy app and in a speech, Little Donny Fuckface crossed a line and went full Hitler. Trump’s rat-brain rhetoric was so over the top that even Forbes Magazine — of all places — couldn’t ignore it.

Quote

Former President Donald Trump pledged to eliminate political extremist groups that “lie, steal and cheat on elections,” calling them “vermin” during a speech Saturday and in a Truth Social post commemorating Veterans Day—echoing a term Nazis often used in antisemitic propaganda to dehumanize Jews, equating them to parasites who spread disease.

the Washington Post chimed in:
Quote

Trump calls political enemies ‘vermin,’ echoing dictators Hitler, Mussolini. On Veterans Day, the former president vowed to “root out” his liberal opponents, drawing backlash from historians who say his rhetoric is reminiscent of authoritarians.

Plus the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, several pundits and political analysts, they're all agreeing that Chump crossed the line. It's hard to believe they're in agreement, and Tiedrich lays it all out in his Monday blog.

*Godwin's Law: "If you mention Adolf Hitler or Nazis within a discussion thread, you've automatically ended whatever discussion you were taking part in."

His enemies and those critical of him.

He is losing it and I wouldn’t put it past him.
