Folks, THIS is the danger we face in America today. We have one side trying to compare their political opponents as Hi**er and draw reference to the Holocaust.
It’s this kind of rhetoric that can cause people to come bhinged and hate strangers / neighbors and could lead to violence if some Nut Job decides it’s their duty to save the world from Hi**er.
This is a direct copy / paste from a Democrat “friend” of mine in California who posts 4 to 5 TDS anti-Trump posts on a daily basis. I usually engage and push back - but this post from a couple of hours ago is the absolute worst I’ve seen.
We HAVE to go Vote EARLY and ensure all of our loved ones Vote too!

I do not think a phenomena like Trumpism could have ever happened, until the collective memories of the Holocaust had faded with death and time.
If the worst happens and the actions meet the rhetoric in another Trump term, nobody will say that Donald and Company have not told us exactly what time it is.
I really believe that the idea of mass deporting 11 million people seems like fun to a percentage of Donald's new "bros" amongst disaffected Dylan Roof wannabes. The devil in the details is imagining what a world like that will look like.
It's not going to happen without a huge presence of regular army forces unseen since the Civil War. It almost happened in 2020, back when there were still some guardrails and adult decision makers left in place.
We are not as lucky this time. There seems to be a delusion in place that we need a strongman to solve the litany of issues that seeks to make us afraid of. But I invite any of you to find a single dictatorship that has worked out for its people.
That's why Washington set the "two-term" precedent which was later added to the Constitution. The real reason our democracy is in peril, is because we've allowed our never ending partisan battles to erode almost every institution in the eyes of its people. If Trump sets the troops loose in the streets there will not be a single institution left that people will trust.
We are lucky in the sense we can still vote no on Tuesday, even if the other side will move hell and purgatory to overturn an adverse result. Because our vote on Tuesday really is about much more than the improving economy, tighter borders, and all the things Donald tries to scare us about. It really is about what chaos and evil will ensue in its wake.
It's also not all about us. Fewer and fewer people live under a constitutional democracy with free and fair elections. Those naive enough to believe that Putin will behave better once he gets his way in Ukraine, probably missed the headlines that there are 10,000 DPRK troops on their way to help.
A keystone of the KGB's strategy since 1917, was to use the open nature of our society against us. But Stalin and his successors had to deal with resolute American leaders who believed in our system. In their wildest dreams they never believed they would find a willing dupe like they have in Donald. It's not that far of a march from Russia to Poland or anywhere else Vlad and Kim want to go. Vance has made it abundantly clear that they'll toss Zelensky under the bus on Day One, if not immediately post election. (There are laws against that sort of thing.)
I've enjoyed a lot of the banter since I decided to turn my personal page into a forum about the election. What has really terrified me are the nihilism of so many of these comments, followed by the outright lies some feel compelled to repeat as if their rote recitations makes it true. At some point after this election is settled I'm going to revert to posting adorable animal pictures and having a much better vetted friends list.
Kamala Harris was never my #1 choice to be President this cycle. I would have rather seen a Nikki Haley standing as the final barrier between the chaos afoot on earth than the others running. But she is who we have left to support if we believe in the continuation of the 248 year American experiment. Just like the hundreds of Republican appointees who have come out against Trump, we are facing an existential threat to our country and its institutions. Choose wisely.
