https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/their-existence-will-be-crushed-trump-spokesperson-delivers-ominous-warning-to-critics/ar-AA1jQqhbWe pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections, Trump said, dredging up lies about his 2020 election loss that fueled the Jan. 6 insurrection. Theyll do anything, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America and to destroy the American Dream.
. . . .
Numerous historians and other experts were disturbed by Trump language, saying they echoed words used by fascist dictators in the past to stir up violence against their enemies, but a spokesman for the ex-president offered a menacing denial.
Those who try to make that ridiculous assertion are clearly snowflakes grasping for anything because they are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome and their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House," Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesman, told the newspaper.

I think ~3 years in the U(ltimate) F(ighting) C(hampionship) world (note: not as an MMA fighter) has made him delusional about being a tough guy/fascist wannabe. His LinkedIn page (link below) features a photo of him looking like a James Bond villain straight out of Central Casting. He looks the part, but "talk is cheap" as they say.

(45,688 posts)He totally contradicts himself right there. Dismissing those who claim he is talking like a dictator snowflakes, and then saying their entire existence will be crushed. Nope, he's not a dictator at all.

(3,432 posts)He really doesn't know what 'fascist' and 'marxist' means. But, they sound good to his base of knuckedraggers and mouth breathers.
But, he's really talking about blacks, browns, Asians, LGBTQ+ and yes... the Jews. Just think, TFG's 'real Americans' will have to do without college and pro football, college and pro basketball, baseball, soccer, gymnastics, movies (good ones, not propaganda shit) and a whole host of other activities and jobs that all of those people perform.
MAGAts, republicans and christian religious freaks desperately want to push that button. Their fevered dreams of an all lily-white America is just around the corner! Of course, they never consider that would devastate the economy. Maybe even crush it into oblivion. But, I don't think they would care because they would no longer have any rules for them or regulations for their corporate benefactors. They are like the screaming 4 year old not getting candy or Pokemon cards at the checkout aisle at the grocery store. They want what they want, consequences be damned.
Like their mantra of 'More Choice' is always better. And with no regulations we all get to have brown water coming out of our faucets one day and green the next! Night fishing will become a new thing because all the fish will glow in the dark.
As for all those "vermin" they want to get rid of, I'm trying really hard not to imagine just what they mean.
