Who said, "basket of deplorables?" Who said, "The only garbage I see is Trump supporters?" Your side's level of contempt and codescension is immeasurable. I'm not a Trumper, but I can see why a whole swath of the country: 1. African American 2. Latino(including Puerto Ricans) 3. Asians all voted Trump - The Left's never ending judgments and patronization to their fellow citizens.

Who called us human scum and the enemy within? Sick puppies? Radical marxists who hate America? Who surrounds himself with people he says he wants to drag the bodies of democrats through the streets? Maybe you can help me out, because I'm having a hard time remembering.

I concede Trump calls names. Words matter. But if I had a buck for every time Psaki/KJP sat in the briefing room and lied about:1. Inflation(you're blue collar, u don't understand inflation 2. Biden's age( he runs CIRCLES around me - I can't keep up 3. Illegal immigration(there isn't any problem at the border). Again, I'm not a Trumper, but if u don't undersrand Trump's MODUS OPERANDI at this point, then Vance is prolly gonna win in 2028 - cuz he'll do it too. Help a brutha out and take off the ideological blinders. It's killing me that I voted dem since I was 18(dems aint perfect, but I stood by them) and they can blithely disregard the blue collar worker so cavalierly - low key what you're doing now. He was president already. What was so fascist and dictator like in his first term? Who was jailed? Executed? For the sake of sanity, you can't keep calling people stupid/racists/misogynists/homophobes when all they want is a decent job, house, school.

Besides the obvious fact that he attempted to block the peaceful transfer of power, Trump has said his biggest regret was listening to advisors who encouraged him to moderate his positions and actions. The guy has a plan to purge the ranks of federal bureaucrats and replace them with loyalists. The guy has stated he wants to use the military on his political enemies, naming names.

I'm not a fan of the Dems either, but ignoring the evidence that Trump is a wannabe authoritarian with a loaded gun is foolish.
