DICTATOR TRUMP Actually Said: 'You Must, By Law, Join The Republican Party': VIDEO, Mich. Nazi Rally

DICTATOR TRUMP Actually Said 'You Must, By Law, Join the Republican Party' (VIDEO), Daily Kos, Oct. 18, 2020.

> On Saturday he spoke to the crowd at the Michigan stop of his Coronavirus Super Spreader Tour. And amid the onslaught of lies, insults, and whining, Trump laid this bit of fascism on his cult followers:

"If you're a moderate Democrat or a liberal who knows that your party has gone totally off the rails, you have a moral duty to immediately stop this lunacy. You must, by law, join the Republican Party."

*WATCH*





As the 2020 presidential campaign enters it's final two weeks, Donald Trump is recognizing the futility of his hopes for reelection. The American people have clearly rejected his failed attempts to deal with the coronavirus, the economy, healthcare, etc. Likewise, they are repelled by his toxic divisiveness and flagrant ignorance.

Given the voters' sharp disagreement with the policies of Trump, and the cowardly compliant Republican Party, there appears to have been a deliberate shift to a strategy of pure character assassination by the Trump camp.

Since he can't change minds on substance, Trump is ramping up his most hostile and preposterous personalized rhetoric in an effort to drive down the favorables of his opponent, Joe Biden. He's actually been doing that for months without having any discernible effect. Biden's approval rating continues to stay in positive territory, far outstripping Trump's historically low disapproval.

Trump's attack plan now consists exclusively of bizarre allegations that more closely resemble the babbling of conspiratorial kooks than competent public servants. In recent days he has...

Retweeted crackpot QAnon claims that Osama Bin Laden is still alive and Biden killed SEAL Team 6.

Demanded that Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Joe Biden be "locked up."

Aided and abetted Russian propaganda asserting debunked allegations against Biden.

Called Biden and his family criminals.

Lied that "we are rounding the turn" on the COVID-19 pandemic.

- Trump gestures during campaign rally Oct. 17, 2020, Muskegon, Michigan. Trump has ramped up his schedule of public events as he continues to campaign against Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden ahead of the Nov. election.

* "From 'Twelve More Years!' to 'Lock Her Up!' Trump Whips Proto-Fascist Michigan Crowd Into Frenzy. "Trump held a Nazi rally in Michigan. There is no other way to describe it." Common Dreams, Oct. 18, 2020.

From encouraging his supporters to chant "Lock her up!" against Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to again trolling the nation with the idea that he would ultimately stay in power longer than the constitutionally-mandated two-term limit, President Donald Trump's fascist instincts—leanings also clearly shared by many in the crowd—were on full display at a Michigan rally Saturday, just over two weeks before Election Day.
Earlier this month, federal agents said they foiled a plot by far-right individuals to kidnap Gov. Whitmer over Michigan's Covid-19 health restrictions, but that didn't stop Trump from going after her in his remarks at the event in Muskegon.

"You've got to get your governor to open up your state," Trump said to cheers from the crowd. Acknowledging the recent plot against Whitmer but downplaying its seriousness—"I guess they say she was threatened," Trump said—the president railed against what he called "draconian, unscientific" lockdowns that public health experts have specifically and repeatedly said are crucial to stem severe outbreaks and keep the pandemic in check.

In response to Trump's comments about Whitmer, the crowd began chanting "Lock her up!" As the chant spread and grew louder, Trump said into the microphone: "Lock 'em all up!" which seemed to be reference to other Democratic lawmakers in the state or elsewhere who have pursued—unlike the president and many GOP-led state governments—robust public safety measures to curb the spread of Covid-19...

Whose party has "gone off the rails" again? Up yours, Donnie Dim-Wit. The GOP is so far into the weeds they can't even be seen anymore.

because he knows it's just about over. He's dropping hints about leaving the country. He knows if he doesn't somehow get out of the country NY authorities are coming for him.

They are now trying to sell it as a joke so he needs other jokes to point to so they can say he does it all of the time.

Same old MO.
