Former New York Times reporter Paul Krugman, who worked for the outlet for more than two decades, is clearly grasping for relevance in his retirement and he's doing so by calling for violence against Trump supporters. The guy who once said the Internet's impact on the economy would be no different than the fax machine thinks the country needs a 'thorough purging' and he's targeting MAGA as the group that needs to go. [Tweet, video] "We need to de-fang Trump as much as possible and make sure that neither he nor anybody who follows in his footsteps has power after the next two elections," Krugman said.

Once upon a time when some superficial crackpot uttered such nonsense most DeMS-13 party members ignored it. It had to be marching instructions from real party officials like Bernie Sanders or Chuckie Schumer or Hitlery Clinton to instigate murder. Now the entire DeMS-13 is so full of deranged zombies sensitized to this kinda of hate and immoral instruction that Krugman's call for concentration camps and death camps is seen as a legitimate call for action. Alas, these crackpots and their zombie street soldiers are protected by DeMS-13 in congress and every Clinton, Obambi, Diaper Joe Inferior Court Black Robed Insurrectionist. We are in dark times. Very dark times.

The latest installment in the leftist 'Violence is justified' movement. Driven by evil, fueled by hate. Completely dishonest. Krugman's smart and he knows better, yet he stoops to this. There's no excuse.

Krugman has been wrong on every economic prediction in his career. To me that indicates ignorance not intelligence. Every opinion he gives about the economy has to be viewed as a political one. Twisting the numbers and making 'climate catastrophe' pronouncements always support the left and denigrate the right and, as expected, are 180 degrees from reality.

Krugman should be investigated and indicted. The man is a fraud.

Krugman won the Economics Nobel Peace Prize for making a commonsense statement about economics. Since then, he's been worse than a stopped clock. At least a stopped clock is right twice a day.

This is the kind of stuff that makes some folks WANT to have a civil war, so we can get rid of vermin like Krugman.
And NO, he did NOT get a "Nobel Prize for economics"....he got a prize from some bank who named their prize "in honor of Nobel". Nothing at all to do with the actual Nobel Prize system.
He's an idiot, a liar and now a wants to eject patriots because he is against partiotism. How about eject leftist like Krugman?

We should purge:
-Krugman
-Antifa
-the welfare/SNAP/Autism/EBT fraudsters
-The rest of the 'Gimme-Dats'.
-The people whose alliance is to any country other than the USA. Omar, Jayapal, etc. I'm
talking about YOU!

"Shut up" is always how arguments with leftists end up.

Krugman is living proof that adopting leftist ideology turns weak people evil. During the Stalin years in the USSR, individuals and groups that Uncle Joe didn't like were "purged." How did they wind up? Dead or in the gulag. The Left is all about killing those who will never agree with them, who will never convert to leftism. It's almost as if they're fanatical Islamic terrorists wiping out infidels. Same difference. Trump's attempted assassins, Luigi Mangione, and the murderer of Charlie Kirk are celebrated by sick people.
We never felt that way about them--and don't now--but this kind of talk makes it much easier for the weak-minded among them to go out, commit murder, and feel good about it. Hearing us called "Nazi" enough times has emboldened some of them to become (communist, Islamist, LGBTQ, etc.) warriors. Their hatred is political. They want to spill our blood. It's that simple. Don't these malignant idiots realize what would happen to them if they started another civil war? The bloody minded Krugman might miss ... in more ways than one. Krugman is going to hell, you know. He has to burn.

I only want illegals purged. Sent home. And all the progressive stuff Democrats spent 50 years baking in to be rolled back. Krugman sounds like he's calling for "night and fog".

Former Enron advisor Paul is desperately trying to remain relevant with his beeps and squeaks.
On the subject of purging, karma is a female dog, Paul.

One month (maybe less) later all his sandcastles will crumble. MAGA is by far the non-gov't employee working, producing, tax-paying class upon which all the Leftist, Woke, DEI and gov't employed depend. By the way - where's he sending us?

This is no longer far-left ideas, but is mainstream for today's Democrat party.
Krugman means it and wants it to happen as though only he and like-minded Democrats have the only answers.
Need to start asking if that is how the moderate Democrats actually feel or realize that's what's taken over the Democrat party which would not elect JFK or Bill Clinton as they'd be considered too conservative for today's Democrat party.

Consider, back in 2016 the leftists were sure they were … this , close to having it all, Hillary the congress, the Supreme Court. They could wipe out all resistance and ensure one party rule forever. And then HE came along out of nowhere and upset their plans. The shock was and still is so great that it produced TDS, they will never get over it, they are completely unhinged.

He truly needs a "reality check," and very much so.
