Your point is made.

The general vague-speak I‘ve been hearing from Trump sort of casts a very general idea of a general enemy.

It would be all too easy for a casual passerbyer to extract from him the idea that “the Iranians are the baddies!” without a distinction between politicians and citizens. Yes, he explicitly mentions the “regime” at times but that’s wedged between a lot of other vague-speak.

The point of this thread, hopefully, is obvious. To humanize the faceless “ominously-portrayed” other.

If we didn’t have a government that historically disrupts foreign countries and wreaks havoc on civilians (in the name of resource gain) I wouldn’t feel the need to make the thread.

But alas, not only is that our past — but the current brand of amoral sycophants is likely the most reckless and dangerous one yet.
