Powerful work from Mr. Jones. Brings up disturbing thoughts of relatives who died in such camps in WWII. At one time, I would never have thought such a thing was possible in the U.S. but I’m not so sure anymore.
At Fern — the word is fascist. And YES! Absolutely! Trump ist tick all the boxes of what it means to be fascist. His “vermin” speech is just the most blatant expression. He absolutely means to declare martial law and arrest his political opponents.
Words matter. Trump knows this. Whether he personally thinks that he can lock up his opponents or just the rant of an ignorant, petulant, bullying, snowflake is not the point. There are people who want this and will have his ear should he win another term (shudder). That is the real problem; those on the right who believe political violence is justified.
It’s getting very hard to see how/why the party of Lincoln that sought to united the nation was seduced into becoming a belligerent divisive exclusive obstructive authoritarian party.
The evidence is in plain sight and earshot….will anyone really HEAR what they’re saying? What the madman rumple is saying? He wants to be a DICTATOR JUST LIKE NAZI HITLER!
In a Clay Jones world Trump is Hitler. In Biden’s we have the pronoun police where you can’t say male or female in a crowded theater. A real clear and present danger you might offend someone with a beard wearing a dress.
“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.” —Martin Niemöller (1892-1984).
“[T]he greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.” —Dr. Marin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968).
At least, we’ll all be in very good company in the end. In some ways, better than living in the hell hold the USA would become under a President for life Orange Putin Puppet, and whatever horrible person takes the job after him. Don Jr. maybe? I would say he might have skipped straight to Baron, but apparently having a son that is actually very tall is driving him even crazier.

WHY.
Why do the cartoonists and the trump supporters still defend trump and cheer for trump?
trump isn’t trying to deceive anybody.
He has stated explicitly he will imprison the people who have slighted him.
He will fire the people not deemed loyal, and replace them with sycophants.
He will shut down news agencies and reporters who don’t present news and report news the way he likes.
All of these things are unadulterated authoritarianism.
So tell me. Explain it to me. What is the appeal of trump?

I agree with the proofreader.
