Trump says: “If they win this election, every one of you will be gone. They will be vicious, they will be ruthless. They will do things that you wouldn't believe. But right now, because of me, they're leaving you alone. So please say thank you.”
Fascists use lies as a weapon, to switch the roles of victim and attacker. Fascists accuse their victims of being the bad guys.
It’s a hate speech propaganda tactic known as Accusation in a mirror. Fascists use it to incite genocide by claiming their victims want to commit genocide.
Accusation in a mirror (AiM) is a technique often used in the context of hate speech incitement, where one falsely attributes one's own motives and/or intentions to one's adversaries.
It has been cited, along with dehumanization, as one of the indirect or cloaked forms of incitement to genocide, which has contributed to the commission of genocide, for example in the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, and the Armenian genocide.
By invoking collective self-defense, accusation in a mirror is used to justify genocide, similar to self-defense as a defense for individual homicide.
Hitler claimed Jews were attacking Germany, not the other way around.
The lies Hitler spread about Jews turned ordinary Germans into bloodthirsty Nazis, and it led to the Holocaust.
That propaganda trick worked so well, fascist dictators have been using Hitler’s playbook ever since.
MAGA: "Fight! Fight! Fight!" vs NAZI: "Do you want total war? Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Christofascist MAGA Nazis don't just want to criminalize homosexuality. They want to exterminate gay and trans people, just like German Nazis did.
No, cross-dressing gay people are not a new invention by "radical woke liberals." Fanatic Christians have demonized and persecuted gay people for centuries.
Christofascist MAGA Nazis love to pretend they’re morally superior because they’re Christians. They have no idea that Christianity was militant until WW2. European history is 2000 years of Christians slaughtering other Christians and non-Christians.
Typical fascist propaganda: Orange Hitler claims if he doesn't get elected, liberals will exterminate Republicans.
