Trump's Veterans Day message is completely off the rails. He really hates America: [rawstory.com]
"In honor of our great Veterans on Veteran’s Day, we pledge to you that we will root out the Communists, Marxists, Fascists, and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our Country, lie, steal, and cheat on Elections, and will do anything possible, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America, and the American Dream. The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave, than the threat from within. Despite the hatred and anger of the Radical Left Lunatics who want to destroy our Country, we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
This shows how much the GOP has went to hell. It seems that most of them nod their heads in approval of this lunatic and then smile and laugh behind his back. This shows me that they hang on wanting power themselves and hope to be there with Trump if he makes it. Nobody really gives a damn about our nation. Some of them are trying hard to reduce another politicians salary to a dollar rather than governing.
Typical Repub hyperbole and smearing of anyone to the left of them, where they lump in all of the corporate centrist Dems who run and dominate the party with Bernie and the other few powerless progressives in DC. And even our progressives are nowhere near as left as the left in Europe. Compared to the rest of the world, our left wing pols are nowhere near "radical", but the Repubs count on the ignorance of most Americans, and our complicit corporate media, who never ? or correct all of these lies and exaggerations about the left in America, because the corporate media hates the left just as much as Repubs, at least when it comes to anything beyond identity politics and culture war issues..
Trump's language about and his attacks on the left, both the real left, and the inflated and imaginary left, with whom he lumps all of his opponents into, is not only right out of Hitler's playbook, it also matches Pinochet's playbook in Chile, back in the 1972 coup there that he pulled.
