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.
I’m going to sit down and wait for mainstream media to report on this very offensive, racist, and disgusting rally. I want to see how much they’re willing to clean up, and justify all of the garbage that was spoken here last night.
The not funny "comedian" Tony Hinchcliffe also said Latinos love making babies and they should "pull out" some times. That their women like them to "come inside, just like they do to our country". He "joked" about carving watermelons with Blacks, as he pointed to a Black man in the crowd. Other speakers said Harris's " pimp handlers are destroying the country", implying she is a prostitute. Another called Harris a devil and the anti-christ. Giuliani was visibly drunk. Fpotus gibbered on and on for 80 minutes. A Sid Rosenberg thundered that Democrats are degenerates and filth, and they ought to be "taken out". These were just a few of the speakers at the rally. The hatred and malice and vitriol were the very air in the Garden. Horrid.
OMG! If there is a time we need God’s help it is right now! These are out of control people so please everyone VOTE BLUE! Our democracy and freedom depend on it. My vote is in for Harris/Waltz ! 💙💙💙🙏🏼
Trump’s jolly rally took direct aim at Americans who didn’t meet his criteria for inclusion in his select group of respectable Americans. Remember the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville marching and shouting, “Blood and Soil” and “Jews will not replace us!”
Trump rally speaker: “There’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico”. Hearts and minds, right? They aren’t just screwing around.
Thank you for the reporting. As a student of history and one who vividly remembers the 60s and onward in this country, thank you for proclaiming truth.
Every time I donate blood I look around me at the other donors and take satisfaction in knowing that should these fascists ever need a transfusion, ...well, they just better not because their blood just may be "poisoned", as Trump has said. Those they hate may actually keep them alive.
I think of this from time to time. Years ago I was in a car wreck that almost killed me. I had 25 fractures and multiple internal injuries. I was still in the military and taken to the base hospital where the ER doctor said “she’s just complaining - she only has a broken nose so send her home”. When the PA refused the ER doc had my gurney put in an obscure hallway to “get her out of my sight & quit taking up space real patients need”. I bled out internally for 5 hours, growing weaker and colder and hoping someone would find me. The PA did, just in time and called in a civilian surgeon on his day off of rotation and they saved my life. (As I was rushed to the OR I did get to witness the ass-chewing the civilian surgeon gave the female Cpt who almost killed me.) I required six transfusions. Every day since has been gravy due to the six soldiers who jumped at the chance of a day off and gave blood. (You always got the day off if you volunteered to donate blood.) It never occurred to me to wonder about their backgrounds. All I feel - and remember to note every anniversary of that day - is immense gratitude. But, whenever I hear the hateful purity bullshit spewed by the trump cultists, miller specifically, I wonder how they would react if their life depended on not just one transfusion but six and they had no idea where the blood came from. Would they choose death or “poisoning”?
This wasn’t an accident. It was the point. It’s what MAGA was built on—a message to the white, the bitter, and the fearful that their ginned up anger is a rallying cry, a political stance, and a weapon. It's a promise that America belongs to them and no one else. It’s why Trump’s rallies don’t even try to reach beyond his hardcore base; the idea that America belongs to everyone goes against the grain of his entire campaign.

I feel like I’m watching a train wreck in slow motion. Our press is gagged by the oligarch owners, our Justice Department is headed by the biggest coward since Benedict Arnold, and our law enforcement’s hands are tied because of Trump’s status as a candidate, which, apparently means he can’t be sentenced for past crimes for which he’s already convicted—never mind that a convicted felon could run for national office in the first place. I feel like every check and balance our institutions supposedly have has been hijacked and no one has the political will to stop it. And now we’re all waiting on pins and needles to see if our fellow citizens do the right thing. It’s absolutely giving me hives.
Thank you for this truth filled, hard-hitting article. I appreciate what you do - and the risk you take in doing so. Keep up the great work - and be careful.

They've practiced and practiced and become quite good at it.

Boycott all things Bezos, Thiel, and Musk. Maybe we can impact their bottom line as votes are counted against them.
Bravo Waj! Great summation and a great read.

By the way, so glad you made it. It's a harrowing story.
I'm 82 and still donating because someone's blood kept my then premature infant son alive in 1965.
I have an unkind thought about which Stephen Miller should choose.

Brilliant!
Not sure how any minority, any Muslim, any Jew, any woman can support TFG and everything he represents.
He’s a fascist. He’s supported by Nazi’s, white supremacists, racists and bigots.
He is not on your side.
