"It’s wild to me that Trump’s fascism is only now breaking through as a major news story. Trump’s ideology has been evident from the start, and in every election cycle, his closing argument always comes down to white supremacy, fascism, hate, and white...

@wdlindsy Can you imagine the reaction if the same sort of thing had been said by the Democrats about, say, Florida?

"Pay attention to the past to understand the present. This is a reboot of authoritarianism. Once fascists get power, it’s very hard to get them out. Along the way, many people suffer and die as the movement eventually burns out and betrays its followers."

The Hoods Were Off At Madison Square Garden

Donald Trump's MAGA rally at Madison Square Garden was a lazy, but terrifying, reboot of 1939. However, it gave us a clear look at a modern authoritarian movement that the majority can still reject.

@wdlindsy

When the German fascists came to power, it took a war to get them out again.

"We have been here before. In 1939, American Nazis held a rally at Madison Square Garden. Anne Applebaum, who writes for the Atlantic about government and authoritarianism, posted some original footage from the 1939 event, and it is worth your time. It is chilling. But the Greatest Generation didn't fall into the trap. We must not either."

“This was a hate rally. This was not just a presidential rally, this was also not just a campaign rally. I think it’s important for people to understand these are mini January 6 rallies, these are mini Stop the Steal rallies. These are rallies to prime an electorate into rejecting the results of an election if it doesn’t go the way that they want.”

Trump’s MSG Rally Incited MAGA To Do What It Takes To Seize Power

The MSG rally was a harbinger of what’s to come, not just in a Trump II presidency, but as soon as election night next week. Consider yourself warned.

TPM – Talking Points Memo (talkingpointsmemo.com)

"Donald Trump wanted his Nazi-style rally at Madison Square Garden, in New York City, the media capital of the world. And then he let out his MAGA movement’s ugly all-out bigotry.

It is his campaign’s biggest blunder, and it’s a big one. Even Republicans are freakin’ the f’ out."

Trump's racist Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden backfires spectacularly

@wdlindsy Trump has a long record of experience in blundering. Hope this Nazi rally was one more.

[kathylk@universeodon.com]

@wdlindsy

It's as if he wants to lose the election and is doing everything he can think of to insure a loss.

I stand corrected.

"Harris won the day because her campaign events did not promote racism, spark a bipartisan backlash and insult pivotal voting blocs.

If Donald Trump loses on Nov. 5, the racist carnival he curated at Madison Square Garden could be remembered as the day that cost him this margin-of-error election."

@wdlindsy Nobody can say they did NAZI this Trump hate rally coming?

"On Sunday at MSG, Donald Trump engineered what will be seen by political analysts and later by historians as the coup de grâce that killed forever his prospects of being president and may well have set him on a post-election course on which he finally may be held accountable for his actions."

Donald Trump’s Racist NYC Rally Was Vile. It Was Also Political Suicide

The Madison Square Garden rally, operatic in its repulsive bigotry, will almost certainly alienate more voters who might have voted for Trump.

The Daily Beast (www.thedailybeast.com)

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

"The rally will almost certainly alienate more voters who might have voted for Trump and it is hard to imagine it has earned him one single new vote. (Unless there is a Franz Liebkind somewhere who has been too busy writing 'Springtime for Hitler' to have paid attention to the campaign until now.)"

@wdlindsy the ONLY thing that gives me peace about all of this is that Biden is our current president. If dotard had the US military at his disposal, there already would be no election.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

"But worse still, unlike the Bund rally, Trump’s was not a fringe affair. It was led by a former President of the United States on behalf of very nearly half of the American people."

@wdlindsy I love how all these republicans, in year 10 of Trump’s hatefest blenderpalooza are SHOCKED SHOCKED that there are Nazis here

[gstuart@newsie.social]

@wdlindsy I hope and pray that David Rothkopf is correct in his analysis of the impact this disgusting event will have on next week's Presidential election.

[templetongate@mastodon.social]

@wdlindsy I wish I could believe it so, but he was already on the verge of winning at least the electoral vote, and I doubt any in his cult will drop out.

[luv_wins@mstdn.social]

@wdlindsy Any group at the butt of Trumpie jokes should take notice. The NAZIS didn't start with the ovens they started with the jokes that targeted those that ended up in the oven! First comes ridicule, next comes blame, next comes dehumanizing labels, then the roundups begin and camps are set up while the ovens get constructed! Trumpie is already on the round up phase. He's let his flunkies do the first phases along with the help of our Media.
