Vermin, Redactions and the Republic!

When a leader calls political opponents “vermin”…What exactly are we supposed to hear?When someone talks about the “blood of the nation being poisoned”…What historical echoes are we supposed to ignore?Former President Joe Biden recently said that language like that mirrors terminology used in Nazi Germany.Now before anyone hyperventilates — pause.This is not about whether you like Joe Biden.This is not about whether you love Donald Trump.This is about patterns.Because history doesn’t repeat itself exactly.But it rhymes. And when it rhymes in German, Russian, Italian, or Spanish — you pay attention.
