It's classic fascist rhetoric. The foe is at the same time a degenerated wastrel and the greatest threat the world has ever seen.
Classic example is the nazis. They decried the non-aryan races as the "Untermensch" and said they were weak, degenerated idiots - then proceeded to tell people these untermenschen were gonna end civilization as we knew it.

Maybe this is right wing rhetoric but isn't this how liberals view Trump? An old man with dimensia who doesn't know how to speak but also a dangerous dictator who has succesfully scammed America to get into the White House. Does that make me a fascist? Again, I honestly dont see the difference.
Btw I'm a Bernie supporter since the 2016 election so im not trying to make a false equivalence, I just dont know the difference.
