I wouldn't say no one is paying attention. Rather, we learned that 40% of the country agrees with that language and actively wants a violent dictator

Yeah I was wondering who "nobody" is in this context.
Certainly not the record number of voters who came out in 2020 to vote against him.
And the fact he never won the popular vote in the first place. It sadly turns out, there’s a market for Nazi/fascist hate.
*violent nazi dictator
Those meek nazi dictators were mostly ok.
40% of the country agreed with the original Nazis. They copied segregation from the US. US Nazis filled Madison Square Garden until the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Then they were immediately shut down in the name of national security (and because they were all cowards).
This isn't new. The Japanese fucked over Hitler and he had to roll with it. Those Nazi sympathizers had kids and still exist today.
I mean, I'm paying attention, the Biden campaign team is paying attention, anybody reading this article is paying attention, and so are most democrats, and sane Republicans. Don't know who is writing this crap, but they are the ones not paying attention. A lot of people are very alarmed by the current situation.
You missed the insane Republicans. They are paying attention too. It's just a selling point in their eyes.
I think that we underestimate how wildly uninformed most people are. They think there’s no difference who is in the White House, and there’s a ton of Americans who think Biden is a horrible President. They think that because their spending power was greater under Trump, he can return to power and things will go back to the way they were.
The bottom line is that people don’t understand what drives inflation, and even less understand that inflation has leveled off for a while now. Prices don’t just drop when the economy is doing as well as it is. The high cost of living is a pain in the ass, but man, will it get worse under Trump when he starts his trade wars and immigration restrictions
TIL “nobody” means everybody.
Just nobody who’s actually in power actually cares, as they won’t be affected immediately like the poors.
No one noticed this 7 years ago? Fuck this fascist cocksucker.
Right? I was taking a class on fascism at the time and it was eerie and everyone in the class could see it
Everyone is paying attention. His opponents are horrified, and his fanbase is eating it up.
What do you want to have happen? SPLC to declare the RNC a hate group? Because that's never going to happen...
If they did, the RNC would wear the badge with honor.
Remember this?
Wait what
Is this real? And if so, when was this?
Satire is more than dead, it's undead, a shambling stumbling zombie
I remember The Onion saying it was hard to come up with more parody news when everything has been crazy.
Everyone is paying attention. The problem is, it doesn’t matter what he says, his supporters will excuse it.
It's not a bug, it's a feature.
Articles like this always makes it sound like it is some kind of accident.
Trump is a fascist in what he says and wants to do. Give him power and he will prove it
Vagina neck
*smelly vagina neck
Or as I like to call it, the Cock Gobbler.
I heard he smells like shit
One look at that dude could tell you he smells like donkey balls dipped in rancid milk.
Honestly, I’m fine the news isn’t talking about it. Let him say crazier and crazier stuff to try and grab headlines. Let him get less coverage and less support and then turn these phrases on him once his campaign starts. I’m tired of hearing about him anyways and CLEARLY telling people who he is helps nothing but get article views
We're paying attention, we just have an inept justice system and a country full of people raised on an underfunded public education system who don't hate Nazis like they should.
People notice, just no one is willing to do anything about it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In recent weeks, Donald Trump has doubled and even tripled down on the charged rhetoric that critics have lamented sounds like it's coming from the mouth of an authoritarian leader as opposed to a candidate for president of a democracy.
On December 6, when asked if he'd abuse his power as retribution against his political foes, the former president told Fox News host Sean Hannity that, should he be re-elected in 2024, he'll only be a dictator "on day one."
On December 17, Trump declared immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country," a statement that drew ire from the Biden White House, which said the comments "parroted Adolf Hitler."
Peter Simi, a professor of sociology at Chapman University, has studied extremist groups and violence for 25 years and has co-authored two books about white supremacy in America.
Simi spoke to Business Insider to explain why, even as Trump's rhetoric becomes increasingly extreme and highlights themes of fascism and authoritarianism, the former president's violent speeches aren't demanding the world's attention like they used to.
They maintain their support for him and it's hard, at this point, to see what it would take to change that for the core base of true believers who are unwavering and fully committed in his camp.
