Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) said over the weekend that the "radical left" presents a danger to the country like the "evils" of Nazi Germany and slavery.
Jordan made the comments during a Saturday interview with Newsmax host Sebastian Gorka.
"Every third generation in this country has had to do something big," Jordan opined. "You think about the Founders and what they did when they declared why we're going to be an independent country, what they had to overcome, the greatest military in the world. They did it."
"Three generations later, Lincoln and the Americans then held the country together, got rid of the evil of slavery," he continued. "Three generations later, we defeated imperial Japan and Nazi Germany, the evils that those two countries represented and the greatest generation won that war."

(11,738 posts)Every one of those "Generational challenges" was fought against RIGHT WING movements. Conservatives have NEVER been on the side of liberating movements.
Not to say that people who tended toward conservatism did not join or help. Just remember, the LOYALISTS were the Conservatives. The SOUTHERN PLANTATION OWNERS / SLAVERS were the Conservatives. THE NAZIS and War Hawks in Japan started out as Conservatives and moved to the RADICAL RIGHT.
He can't even get history correct but it doesn't matter because people who listen to him and Gorka, and Newsmax, and Fox, etc... are even more stupid and ignorant.

It's very much a part of the 1984 mentality. War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength.
When the past is erased, and the erasure is forgotten, the lie becomes the truth.
The Lie Becomes the Truth.
Stop the Steal was the lie.
Jim Jordan's characterization of the "radical left" is the lie.

"...the "radical left" presents a danger to the country like the "evils" of Nazi Germany and slavery."

I wouldn't be surprised if they carry out a mass killing of people they identify as "liberals" or members of "the left".

(2,403 posts)Ok so Jim Jordan is an idiot. But do not dismiss this because he is an idiot. This is another call to action from the right to prepare to fight liberals. The words destroy and liberals is a very basic message to many that says kill liberals. They are reaching out to the nuts to activate them. They will bring the others along once it gets started. You only need to look at their coverage of Rittenhouse and oxford to see how they normalize murder and sell it to their viewers.
