(Full title: 'Is that a threat?' Trump stuns observers with comment about Harris voter 'getting hurt')
***
Okay: This isn't America, I'm not where I live and on my computer; I'm in an alternative reality and I've just stumbled into a vintage movie theatre where they're playing The Godfather...Don Corleone has died his hair orange and had bad work done...
WHAT country is this???
***
Donald Trump shocked observers on Sunday with a comment he made about a potential supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris at one of the former president's swing- state rallies.
Trump, who has been accused of fostering violence that occurred on Jan. 6, 2021, gave a speech in Wisconsin over the weekend. At that rally, the ex-president battled a fly on stage and called his own campaign members "so stupid."
At that same rally, Trump made an off-hand comment that had some political onlookers sounding the alarm.
"Is there anybody here who's going to vote for lyin' Kamala?" Trump asked his rally attendees. "Actually, I should say don't raise your hand, it would be very dangerous. We don't want to see anybody get hurt. Please don't raise your hand."
Harris' campaign shared the video on social media, writing, "Trump says it’s 'very dangerous' for Kamala Harris voters to identify themselves because they’ll 'get hurt.'"
Retired research engineer David Rommel voluntarily identified his voting preferences:
"I'm voting for Kamala! I'm a republican that is not opposed to taking on that challenge," he wrote. "The only thing that scares me is Trump winning another term. When Trump is in prison and they are all arrested for rioting we can all take a breath of fresh air."
A popular account called CALL TO ACTIVISM, founded by attorney Joe Gallina, replied, "What the hell does this mean? Donald Trump says it’s 'very dangerous' for Kamala Harris voters to identify themselves because they’ll 'get hurt.' Is that a threat??"
Another popular account known for liberal political commentary, AesPolitics1, wrote, "Trump says it’s 'very dangerous' for Kamala Harris voters to identify themselves because they’ll 'get hurt.' Never before in history have we seen an anti-American piece of s--- as bad as Trump."

Whoa, baby...lol... Putting this below the post I did a few minutes ago... In it, I described feeling like I'd stumbled into a vintage movie theatre w/The Godfather playing, with Don Doofus instead of Don Corleone...but NOW, woops, I'm no longer in that movie theatre, I'm in a huge crowd of people...sounds like they're yelling "Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!" but when I listen more closely, it's *You're holding up FOUR fingers! FOUR fingers!* And when I look toward the podium, all's I can see is orange hair, a tiny orange mustache, and a spotlight trained on his hand holding up three fingers...
But y'know...all dark humor aside...you'd think, wouldn't you, that when people'd hear this talk about BAD GENES, sooo reminiscent of Hitler and his trajectory, that even his die-hardest minions might take pause for a second...wonder to themselves if their own genetics would be *pure enough to pass muster* within the New American Reich...? Interrupt the spell for a *moment* maybe?
But then we saw what happened there...didn't we...

Former President Donald Trump stunned political experts on both sides of the aisle Monday with an on-air rant about people with "bad genes."
Trump, during an interview with conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt, relied on what critics called the rhetoric of eugenics — the discredited philosophy behind Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler's attempt to exterminate Jewish people — when he railed against undocumented immigrants.
"Many of them murdered far more than one person," Trump declared. "A murderer, I believe this, it's in their genes. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now."
This clip was aired again on CNN Monday morning by a visibly shocked John Berman.
"He was calling them murderers," Berman said.
Berman turned the discussion to Republican strategist Lanhee Chen and Democratic strategist Aisha Mills, who raised the specter of racial extermination.
"We have long known that Donald Trump has revered the Nazis," said Mills. "He has revered Hitler, has read his books...Trump has had a very sinister philosophy wanting to be a dictator."
Mills urged viewers to take seriously Trump's words and not to dismiss them as a "Freudian slip."
"He would absolutely try to exterminate an entire group of people because he thinks that their genes are somehow different than his," Mills said. "I say this with all the sternness that you hear in my voice because it is serious and Americans should recognize that."
Chen tried to downplay the significance of Trump's words but even he felt compelled to distance himself from the comment.
"This is an example of an issue where Trump would have the opportunity to have an advantage, which is immigration," Chen said. "But comments like this are certainly not useful in driving that advantage."
On social media, political experts echoed Mills' concerns.
"Donald Trump has gone full eugenicist here," said constitutional attorney Anthony Micheal Kreis. "It so deeply harmful."
"This isn't even surprising from him," replied Pradheep J. Shanker, a contributor to the conservative magazine National Review. "He doesn't give a damn about the harm."

He's clearly priming his base to do violence on his behalf. He's giving them rationales and justifications to do so.
He's, one more time, getting ready to call for his base to do violence if he doesn't win.
Didn't work out for them last time with many of them ending up in jail. He didn't save them ..he used them and threw them under the bus the first time.
How many will be dumb enough to take him up on it again? This time, measures are sure to be taken pre-emptively to protect capitols and places of import. The other party is in charge who will undoubtedly take different actions. I dunno. They're not real smart.

Right? I wonder what they'll do, too...I keep getting the image of lemmings heading toward "This cliff! Over here! Jump NOW!"....it's hard to shake... I'll work in an image of them turning away at the last moment...who knows? ;)

Well, one of my son's resigned for the national guard. So, this is a personal concern of mine. Last time, he ended up at the state capitol building called there to protect because of what happened at the national capitol.
While a few crazies showed up, there were no where near the numbers there were in Wash DC, and they did no violence...probably because they were severely outnumbered.
Another reason why I cannot forgive what happened on Jan. 6th 2020, and I'll never vote for the head deplorable who cares nothing about this country or its people.

Couldn't get more personal for you then, could it, (((Red?)))
I feel the same way, though I sure don't have that close a personal parallel...and no, those behind and who enacted January 6th don't deserve *anyone's forgiveness* -- at least not until our country has become newly secured and solid within the intentions the Constitution and Bill of Rights set forth for it...and even then, I'm still not sure...
Your son will be in my prayers, as is the rest of your family always, Redhart...

Thank you, shadow. we're going to need prayers for our whole country until the magic hamburger finally hits.
See, and OT think a VP's story about whether he was in china in April or August 35 yrs ago makes one bit of freaking difference or even logs on the scale at all when I had a son in the NG on Jan 6th? Or lost 7 family members from a botched covid response...many due to his direct lies and coverup?
OT is under the delusion that we don't see the MASSIVE difference between Trump's deadly and dangerous lies and another's mis-remembering an event by a few months?
He's as delusional as his leader..or those who tell him how to spin things.
I know I'm not alone here. Working at the county fair (a red county) showed me how many people were so fed up with this baby in a old man's body that causes destruction and chaos wherever he goes. Republicans were re-registering to get away from him. They want their party back, and I can't blame them.
There are a lot of people who DO see the dangers he represents to our country, their own families and themselves. In my opinion, far more than don't see those dangers (or are afraid to voice them).

The followers are mentally stuck in the past and seriously believe that they can return to the past and if you look at the overwhelming majority of those in the crowd of his, they are white, senior citizens who do not understand this current world of ours and desire to go back to the 'good old days' of long ago where things made sense to them and there was a definitive good/bad - whether it was right or wrong, didn't matter.
So the orange guy will say anything and everything to keep that illusion of going back into the past alive in his voters minds. And defining the other side as 'bad', can justify fighting it because that is what these seniors did growing up - fighting the 'bad' especially in the times of war, during the depression (the 'bad' was the depression and its hard times). For them It was a time when corporations didn't screw over everybody, the government didn't lie and only had the best and good intentions for its people, where far more were law abiding than not, where organized religion was part of every family and business, where immigrants were mostly white and would do their best to assimilate into their new surroundings, where people could be open about their prejudices and bigotry, when things were 'structured' in a supposedly understandably way (once again, whether it was right or wrong wasn't questioned by the people who are his current supporters).
His supporters don't want to hear the truths because today's truths go contrary to the kind of world his supporters want again. And therefore, because they are so desperate, they will support him, they won't question what he says and certainly will not question what he promises. In fact, I hate to say this, but his supporters would have believed and followed Hitler because of the kind of world he promised.

Thank you for that, Hierophant, that's great insight into how those of that generation experienced those years...and how different things are now, in those specific ways (at least perceptually), and the unique blindspots that creates...
I tend to see the most dramatic, garish ones...and these are equally important to grok if we want to understand this incredibly dark phenomenon...

good post, Heir.
Have heart..I'm a white-haired senior, and I'm not among them (and neither is my husband or my 90 yr old mother).
We understand that the "good old days" were not as good as advertised, nor is it as likely to be returned to as the medieval times of damsels and knights in shining armor.
One thing I've learned since I was a young girl, is there are no "shining knights" to save anyone. We are our own knights, and we better get the hell out there and save ourselves. We start with a vote.
These people are certifiably crazy and their leaders are seriously evil in the same cast as we saw in WWII rise up in Europe. My father and grandfather fought to keep them out of America and keep America free. It's our turn.
