“This is out of the autocratic playbook. As autocrats consolidate their power once they’re in office, anything that threatens their power ... becomes illegal,” historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat said.

Donald Trump is ramping up his rhetoric depicting his political rivals and critics as criminals, while dropping a long trail of suggestions that he favors outlawing political speech that he deems misleading or challenges his claims to power.

In a speech Friday in Aurora, Colorado, the Republican presidential nominee blasted the immigration system and lobbed a rhetorical grenade at his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.

“She’s a criminal. She’s a criminal,” said Trump, who was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in his New York hush money trial. “She really is, if you think about it.”

Do you remember growing up and asking "how was it even possible that someone as monstrous as Hitler was put in power? He wasn't shy about his intents!"?

A lot of people are more interested in hating people that are different from them than making informed decisions.

Sadly I truly believe this is the case. There's no reason to support Trump positions unless you're a billionaire. Any non-billionaire that supports his obvious lies and grifts must be a racist, because he doesn't have anything else going on.

Decades of unfiltered right wing radio declaring Democrats as literally evil and propogating the idea of Republicans being the party of God. When your rival is the embodiment of evil you cannot ever work with them or compromise with them lest you be destroyed.

The correct question others should have posited when the idea of race was created by white supremacists.
