After listening to that annoying saccharine voice, I need to go listen to some Frank Zappa to correct my polarity.

“Going To Be Like Spanish Civil War”

So Trump is gonna bomb their Commie asses?

In the Spanish Civil War, one side was led by Nazi/Hitler-aligned fascists, and the other side was led by Soviet/Stalin-aligned communists.

It’s really not possible to find reliable/consensus statistics for the death toll in that war, but it seems undeniable that Spain suffered more deaths (and from a significantly smaller population) than the US suffered during 1861-65.

So all in all, that’s a very disturbing analogy that Matthews dropped into the conversation.

Matthews was calling for a coup, imo. Subtly.
