"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...

@i_gvf Wasn't it in "Cabaret" that they sang "Money makes the world go 'round" as the Nazis were rising to power?

@f800gecko You're right: it makes absolutely no sense. My grandmother would have spoken of cutting off one's nose to spite one's face.

@JustRosy I do think it's important to factor in his mental fragmentation, something Michelle Obama has just warned us about all over again. I wouldn't be surprised if he pushed and threw tantrums to have the opportunity to be on stage at MSG, against the advice of some of his more pragmatic handlers.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@martinvermeer Yes, interesting history. Thank you for the link.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@jmax Yes, it would be.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@martinvermeer The good old days! Taking us back!

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Greengordon Yes, he said as much in his comments at MSG.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@damkina I do, too.

@Vaniaji My mother would have said, "They're as happy as pigs in a mud puddle on a summer day." That was not a compliment to pigs.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@luv_wins I agree.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@GStuart I hope so, too.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Myerman When they're running precarious races and he may have alienated voters they desperately need, suddenly they see, right? Sickening.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@mzedp Yes, for sure.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@RoguePlayer I agree.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Piousunyn Nope, they can't.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@KathyLK That thought has crossed my mind, for sure. I also suspect he's such a narcissist, and one who's melting down mentally before our eyes, that he may imagine he came across as some glorious, commanding figure who is able to pack MSG.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Piousunyn Yes.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@ChemicalEyeGuy Touché.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Luuk_Aalders It did, indeed.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@rayhindle Sirens would be blaring, for sure.
