Eric Trump: Dems are not even people?  Five reasons this was a bad idea

Eric Trump, I get that your dad is pretty much a moving target, and that the attacks (like the attacks from too many on the right) are pretty nasty and very personal. But saying Democrats are not people? Not a good idea. The Hill reported Eric (the second son of POTUS Trump) made this comment here:

President Trump’s son Eric Trump on Tuesday said Democrats are “not even people” to him after their obstruction of his father’s agenda.

What? Really? Political rivals do obstruct the agendas of their rivals. So do businesses. And people and, well, you get it.

“I’ve never seen hatred like this,” he said on Fox News’s “Hannity” Tuesday night. “To me, they’re not even people. It’s so, so sad. Morality’s just gone, morals have flown out the window and we deserve so much better than this as a country.

They’re not even people? Not invoking Godwin’s law. No need.

Here are five reasons this was a really stupid thing to say:

  1. This is the excuse every genocidal maniac used. This is how Bosnian neighbors killed their best friend. How Rwandans hacked each other to bits and how Stalin starved and murdered the Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars during the Holdomor and after the war. This is the reason wartime propaganda was so over-the-top. The enemy was dehumanized and it made killing them less of a burden to the conscience of the people on “our side.”
  2. Business rivals do this indirectly. See Verizon and Sprint ads.
  3. The Democrats and the Republicans do and say stupid things in the name of politics or their version of the greater good. All the time.
  4. This comment went viral and is nice ammo for your political rivals.
  5. I seem to recall that you were not able to vote for your dad, right? Here and here.

From the Washington Post:

Earlier this week, two of his children, Eric and Ivanka, discovered to their chagrin that they were unable to vote for their father in the upcoming contest. Ivanka had previously registered as an Independent in the state which disqualifies her from voting on the Republican ticket where her father’s name will appear. This, of course, comes after she spearheaded a major effort to help get out the vote for Trump in a number of earlier primary contests.

Oops! So, does that mean that you are not human, Eric? Please stop and think before you speak or tweet. It will save you from a whole lot of grief.

    Not an inaccurate statement, especially when talking about certain members of congress, the blm crowd, antifa, and others…

    That being said, it’s perfectly reasonable to think and believe such things, based on the actions of those involved, but actually saying it on TV / in public, yeah, that was pretty damn stupid!

  • Joe Miller says:

    Aren’t Ivanka and her husband still registered Democrats? Wasn’t Donald a registered Democrat until fairly recently? Weren’t a lot of members of Donald Trump’s family unable to vote for him in the primaries?

    Really? You’re going there? *smh*
    #4 is really the only one that matters as a “bad idea”.

    And I really don’t see where the “unable to vote because not a Republican” comes into play here. The two don’t seem to relate at all. (If it’s in the video, I apologize, but I can’t usually view videos where I am.)

    • Gail Boer says:

      That is one reason his choice of words was stupid yes. The irony of a very recent liberal Democrat saying his former party is not human? Priceless.

  • ejism says:

    Too many people put too much into what the Trump kids have to say. All of President Trump’s children need to get out of the White House, go back to New York, and let Daddy get on with the business of making America great again.
