"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...

"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 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 Here's hoping.

@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.

[vaniaji@toad.social]

@wdlindsy Wow…the rally showed the world there is no doubt…the convicted felon and his followers are lower than primordial slime…they must enjoy rolling in their own filth.

[damkina@mas.to]

@wdlindsy I certainly hope so!

[greengordon@spore.social]

@wdlindsy

Pretty sure Trump is planning to cheat his way back into office, and certainly he'd be happy for some violence to help hi get there.

"Trump may be thinking the rally will help him mobilize thugs to violence when he contests his loss and we should be wary of that."

[martinvermeer@fediscience.org]

@wdlindsy Ah, Springtime for Hitler 🤎

[jmax@mastodon.social]

@wdlindsy - That'd be nice.

[martinvermeer@fediscience.org]

@wdlindsy "In 1939, as about 18,000 American Nazis rallied inside Madison Square Garden, newspapers reported that a crowd of about 100,000 anti-Nazis gathered outside to protest. It took 1,700 police officers, the largest number of officers ever before detailed for a single event, to hold them back from storming the venue."

Didn't know that. I knew about one other American...

@wdlindsy The fact that Trump both thought it would work and tried to lure in liberals at the end, combined with his low campaign fundraising amounts, shows how desperate he really is. What his staff allowed to be said about Puerto Rico just cost him millions of votes, and no only from those who are of Puerto Riccan heritage. So many hateful things were said. Jesus never talked nor acted that way. Trump came off sounding like s drunk uncle at Thanksgiving who won't shut up -- or that drunk guy driving home from a bar who needs to be pulled over. Kinda think that's where the "weaving" came from. He's weaving in and out of political traffic and has no idea what he's doing. I actually do suspect he was drunk off his ass yesterday. Either that, or on some kind of drug.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@templetongate I think what David Rothkopf is referring to is that Trump and the other people on stage deliberately alienated a whole set of voters, e.g., Puerto Rican and Latino ones, who may now go into backlash against Trump as a result.

Meanwhile, Cuba looks to the Chinese for help as economic hardship imposed by longstanding myopic US foreign policy brings nationwide blackouts.

The quid pro quo?

Chinese access to Cuban nickel deposits.

The island over which we nearly came to nuclear blows with the Soviets.

So much for American supremacy generally, let alone the white racist variety.

Just need to remind ourselves none of it need make any sense.

It never does in the long run.
