OK Vermin!

 Trump's dementia broke through a wall on Saturday and discovered a room full of Nazi propaganda:

"We 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," he told a mob in New Hampshire.

"Our threat is from within.  Because if you have a capable, competent, smart, tough leader, Russia, China, North Korea, they're not going to want to play with us."

Clearly this North Korean expected a handshake only.

He repeated the same phrasing with random caps in a social media post, in case the Lugenpresse declined to carry his words, for once.  This one was couched as a salute to veterans.

Given that his plans for us include a politically vetted secret army within the government and enormous camps for the undesirable, it might be time to explore the limits of political opposition and plan for the possibility that this creature will again manipulate the electoral college no matter how we vote.  As Charles Pierce wrote this morning, "American conservatism, and its partisan vehicle, is now a couple of dozen armbands away from invading Poland."

For those of us who still associate conservatism with Robert Taft or Alfred Landon, there should be another word to refer to these obvious fascists.  The problem is that "fascist" is now a term of abuse disconnected from political definition.  As Timothy Snyder has pointed out, Putin is by any measure a fascist, a disciple of Ivan Ilyin.  But "fascist" is a dirty word in Russia long associated with the Nazis and the "Great Patriotic War," and thus can never apply to a country which is forever immaculate and surrounded by enemies.  So it is routinely applied to democratic Ukraine.  Go figure.  (But don't bring up the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.)

So frightened are they of the truth that Trump mouthpiece Steven Cheung says if anyone compares Trump to Mussolini or Hitler, "their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House."  They suffer from "Trump Derangement Syndrome," he went on, suggesting that the proper place for them is a psychiatric hospital.  Now we've moved on to the old Soviet Union, may my lack of god save it.  (Thanks, Monty Python.)  Yes, President Ninety-one Indictments, who wails about judges stealing his "FREE SPEECH," does not want anyone else's to disturb his serene rule.  

Speaking of mental health, Trump still seems to think Barack Obama is president.  According to him the "very tough, strong" Viktor Orban (of Hungary or Turkey, depending on the degree of sundowning) said Obama should resign and be replaced by Trump.  I don't believe Orban is stupid enough to comment on another country's government, or even that he is "very tough."  But cognitive impairment is clearly the current obsession of the Once and Future Fuhrer:

He wants to round up the homeless, too, because you'd have to be crazy to live on the street, right?

I would recommend making this into billboards, but I worry about how many Americans would consider it a Trump endorsement.
