Donald Trump brought his fascist campaign for presidency to the heart of midtown Manhattan on Sunday, taking the stage at Madison Square Garden and looking out over a crowd of his fanatically loyal Red Hats.
With nine days left until the election, the campaign stop seemed like a finale ― one more grand provocation meant to show that Trump could win this thing, that he could walk into enemy territory months after a would-be assassin’s bullet pierced his ear, garnering enough supporters in this progressive, diverse city to fill up the “the world’s most famous arena.”
And that he could do it even after running one of the most racist presidential campaigns in history, and even though earlier this year a jury downtown convicted him on 34 charges of illegally influencing the 2016 election through hush money payments to a porn star, and even though earlier this year the New York state attorney general won a $450 million civil fraud judgment against him.
…
Trump’s single-minded focus on nativism and anti-immigrant bigotry has defined what experts say is a fascistic 2024 presidential campaign. Echoing Adolf Hitler’s rhetoric, Trump and his campaign have accused immigrants of “poisoning the blood” of the nation through “bad genes” and infectious disease.
The funniest part about this whole thing happening at the Garden? Madison Square Garden has facial recognition scanners all over to identify every single person in the place. Every single Nazi has been scanned and identified. A keen hacker can reveal every Nazi in New England.
And with any luck, we might actually see some laws against facial recognition as a result (/s, im not deluded)
I wish everybody just kept referring to him as “Trump, the fascist running for president”
Kamala called him on it and the media got up in arms over it. Really tells you what you need to know. Vote people! These facists are.
One of his final rallying cries to all the racists, homophobes, and misogynists. Lifting the mask as far as necessary to make sure they know he hates those people just as much as they do, if not somehow more. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel, making sure every delusional shit stain remembers who their guy is. This is the modern GOP
Yikes that article is tough to read. That’s a whoooole lotta racism. Absolutely impossible to say that anyone who supports Trump is not a racist piece of shit now. It’s simply undeniable.
I think that is why he was so obsessed with doing a rally in that arena
