I’m guessing it won’t stop with undocumented people. Not when there are homeless. And the LGBT+. And non-Christians. And anyone who isn’t white.
Don’t forget us Jews. Whenever some wannabe dictator starts talking about the vermin in society, they inevitably wind up attacking Jews.
Oh, and they’ll eventually attack Christians as well. They’ll decide who is and who isn’t Christian enough. Are you Catholic? Sorry, that’s not the right form of Christianity. You’re Baptist but don’t go to church every week? Into the camp you go. You go every week, but your pastor spoke out against Trump? Into the camp for you!
The depressing thing is, you will find a good number of people that will be directly affected by this and who will still vote for Trump, because something something Biden’s age…
Right now it’s all the rage to threaten not voting for Biden because of his handling of the Israel/Hamas conflict.
Idk guys… I wouldn’t recommend it.
No doubt some of that is being pushed by people who want Trump to win. I hate feeling like I don’t have a choice, but that’s kind of where we’re at now: an unhinged, legally cornered, autocratic Trump who is already threatening to turn America into a Christo-fascist dictatorship who will lock up his political enemies & immigrants, and will most likely push for out & out genocide in Palestine, OR an elderly Joe Biden, who has been the only semi-moderating force on Israel thus far (obviously he hasn’t gone far enough and have mostly given faint disapproval), but has otherwise been doing an ok-ish job the past few years (despite what the media says). It’s a shitty choice, but IMO too important to throw my vote away over a single issue.
And the infuriating thing is Trump is only three years younger than Biden!
One them has a proven track record of responsible behavior and surround themselves with excellent advisers who use actual facts and reason to make policy decisions. But he’s three years older so let’s go with the guy who’s incoherent, malevolent, craven, and has never seen a success he couldn’t turn into a failure.
“This vermin must be destroyed. The Jews are our sworn enemies, and at the end of this year there will not be a Jew left in Germany.” — Hitler, 1939
“We will root out the Communists, Marxists … and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within … our country.” — Trump, yesterday
You know, I never really considered the vital nature of the second ammendment until I read that. I won’t own weapons personally, and I really dislike the idea of any weapon small enough to be concealed or easily used for self injury.
But I know plenty of “radical left” who own firearms, and I’m willing to bet that Trumps version of gestapo will have a very different outcome if he tries it.
The article title misspelled “pogroms” and “concentration camps.”
And they’ll give it some name like “Project 9066” and think they’re so clever while the rest of us scream to our uneducated countrymen that yes, they can be both that evil and that obvious.
Bet you he gets the Christianity vote again
I haven’t attended church for a long time but I do remember Jesus being very into persecuting others and generally in favour of cruelty for the sake of it. /s
You’re joking, but nowadays there are “Christians” who complain that their pastor teaching them about turning the other cheek and such is “leftist propaganda”.
They don’t care about Jesus at all, it’s all about tribalism.
When they were alone, the people around Jesus, along with the Twelve, asked him about the parables. 11 He said to them, “The secret of God’s kingdom has been given to you, but to those who are outside everything comes in parables. 12 This is so that they can look and see but have no insight, and they can hear but not understand. Otherwise, they might turn their lives around and be forgiven.
Mark 4:10
I agree. He was really into it. He deliberately talks in a hard to understand manner so humans who don’t get it will burn in hell.
It’s been a while, I looked it up. Very clever. Is this type of cherry picking done in megachurch sermons to propagate the message of supply side Jesus?
