What did Donald Trump do today?

He said this:

Our radical Democrat opponents are driven by hatred, prejudice and rage. They want to destroy you and they want to destroy our country as we know it.

Accusing your political enemies of being a dangerous and malignant force that needs to be destroyed or cut out before they destroy the nation is called eliminationism.

For context, Trump also accuses his political enemies of being mentally ill, conspiring with Russia, taking bribes from Saudi Arabia, performing poorly in the polls, sexually harassing and assaulting women, and trying to let foreign countries influence American elections.

So what?

• Dehumanizing your political opponents is un-democratic, un-American, and dangerous.

• Accusing other people of doing the bad things that you do is called projection, and it's not a sign of good mental health.
