World News

This is the best summary I could come up with:

In recent weeks, Donald Trump has doubled and even tripled down on the charged rhetoric that critics have lamented sounds like it's coming from the mouth of an authoritarian leader as opposed to a candidate for president of a democracy.

On December 6, when asked if he'd abuse his power as retribution against his political foes, the former president told Fox News host Sean Hannity that, should he be re-elected in 2024, he'll only be a dictator "on day one."

On December 17, Trump declared immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country," a statement that drew ire from the Biden White House, which said the comments "parroted Adolf Hitler."

Peter Simi, a professor of sociology at Chapman University, has studied extremist groups and violence for 25 years and has co-authored two books about white supremacy in America.

Simi spoke to Business Insider to explain why, even as Trump's rhetoric becomes increasingly extreme and highlights themes of fascism and authoritarianism, the former president's violent speeches aren't demanding the world's attention like they used to.

They maintain their support for him and it's hard, at this point, to see what it would take to change that for the core base of true believers who are unwavering and fully committed in his camp.

The original article contains 1,656 words, the summary contains 211 words. Saved 87%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Him and Netanyahu should form some sort of axis alliance.

Its probably because the only book he ever actually kinda ready was Mein Kompf.

He doesn't deserve my attention. Not once in his miserable life has he ever said anything worth listening to.

I get that he's a bigot, a narcissist, an authoritarian, a fascist, a gaping asshole. I don't need daily reminders of that fact.

I've posted this before.

Back in 2016, just after the election, there was a panel of the creative teams behind all the top political TV shows. Veep, House of Cards, Scandal, etc. Every writer and producer said the same thing; if they had put on a character that said he liked soldiers who didn't get captured, the advertisers and networks would have demanded that the character be treated as a pariah by every voter. Trump's been deplorable since day one.

New Yorkers from the 80s were SCREAMING from the rooftops about what a pieces of shit the whole fucking family are. Probably before that but I'm not old enough to remember. If you haven't been paying attention its on you shitbird journalists for not actually writing the truth.

does not help when there are people not allowed to vote and the only other option is to vote biden who immediately went back on campaign promises such as firing staffers who were cannabis users

same person who ran with obama and chained someone to a chair for the sole reason she wanted the same rights as everyone else who was running for president and the same biden who is touting economic wins with a federal minimum wage of $7.25

this has been a problem before trump entered the stage and no trump did not make matters better

maybe the citizens should be allowed to hear from all the candidates and maybe who gets to be on the ballot should a federal issue and stop going state by state in a "united states" of america on every issue

geez, where are the reeducation camps when you need them

now i've noticed that there aren't a lot of actual morons here, which is nice, but nevertheless i feel compelled to add:

Yes, I'm on the left, and yes, here, I have advocated the same fascist behaviour I am decrying. This is called fighting fire with fire. The right does it all the time, why would you think I couldn't?
