A clerical supporter of James G. Blaine, Rev. Samuel Dickinson Burchard, denounced the Democrats of his time as “the party whose antecedents have been RUM, ROMANISM and REBELLION.”

On Truth [sic] Social our Dictator has surpassed even Rev. Burchard, and describes Democrats as “the party of hate, evil, and Satan.” Did the Dictator really mean this, or did he write it during one of his dry-drunk sessions with Truth Social? I think he meant it. Here’s why.

Trump regularly describes his opponents as mirrors of himself, sc., he charges them with the crimes of which he himself is guilty. So of course Trump sees any adversary as incarnating his very own “hate, evil, and Satan.”
