  5. Trump could yell “Kill all n****rs!” at his rallies and it would be met with raucous applause, and cable news panels throwing every excuse in the book out there in order to justify it.

  6. America First was the name of the organization led by Charles Lindbergh, and financed by Adolph Hitler, all to elect a president who would be “friendly” towards Hitler’s goals.

    Amazing I never hear about that connection to Trump’s org…

  7. How many audience members had fathers or grandfathers who fought the nazis in WW2? If they could speak, what would they say?

  8. First they came for the Communists.
    And I did not speak out.
    Because I was not a Communist.

    Then they came for the Socialists.
    And I did not speak out.
    Because I was not a Socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists.
    And I did not speak out.
    Because I was not a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews.
    And I did not speak out.
    Because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me.
    And there was no one left.
    To speak out for.

    *Think about it*

    We’re not going back!

  10. Well, it’s not like the venue was chosen by accident and the dehumanizing language they’re using is a deliberate choice.

  11. Not too long ago in American history, in 1939, there was a Nazi rally in America at Madison Square Garden.

    If you haven’t had a chance to watch the short award winning documentary, a Night at the Garden, it is a stunning reminder how quickly a demagogue and extremists can stir crowds into a hate filled frenzy.

    The rally was marketed as a pro American rally that was attended by 20,000 people who willingly put up a sieg heil salute as the demagogue on stage raged against the free press and minorities and talked about taking America back.  Thousands of protesters were outside the Garden as the rally took place.  

    To put the timing of this American rally in context, Hitler was constructing his sixth concentration camp at the time, and seven months later the Nazis invaded Poland.  

    Amongst a background of a stage filled with American flags, Bund security officers beat up a Jewish New York plumber, a 26 year old protester, Isadore Greenbaum, who ran on stage in protest as the crowd cheered.  They continued to cheer and rip his pants off. The mob mentality, beating up protesters in front of a demagogue spewing hate, is surreal and frightening.  

    At the rally they sang the star spangled banner, said the pledge of allegiance to the American flag, put up the Bund Nazi signs by a picture of George Washington, and raged against the evil press.  It was really surreal to see that this happened on American soil as Hitler was constructing concentration camps. If we don’t learn from history, we’re doomed to repeat it.

  12. Before, I’d be like “Nah, that’s a stretch to compare the two.”

    Then, I heard one of the opening speakers, Hinchcliffe, say “Latinos can’t pull out, kind of like how they do our borders,” and now I need to self-flagellate for being so naive.

  13. I think it was intended took that way.

    I think Trump has gone all out Nazi now and all of his minions have taken the gloves off. They are talking about slaughtering the opposition. How is this not just like a Nazi rally?

  14. >An American Nazi Party held a rally at Madison Square Garden in February 1939 that lured 20,000 supporters to the iconic New York City landmark.

    >“And don’t think that he doesn’t know for one second exactly what they’re doing there,” Walz said.

    Truth.

  15. If this interests you, you should go listen to Rachel Maddow’s Ultra, we have been here before

  16. I’ve been desensitized by the Trump circus after all these years, but those clips from this rally were absolutely disturbing. All of the casually racist “jokes” and the maniacal laughter from the crowd. There’s no fucking way we can let these people win again.

  18. If Harris/Walz don’t get out there and grab some of those idtiots’ votes from Rogan, Barstool, whatever bullshit those dopes are mainlining these days, we’re absolutely fucked.

  19. We all drew that conclusion. The choice of venue and the disgusting rhetoric made it obvious what they were going for.

  21. Well for sure it sounds like a klan rally so far….vote blue for decency 👍🇺🇸💙

  23. I’m watching it and it’s very hard to watch. I cannot understand the mindset of the people that go to these and are still convinced that he is a good choice for President.

  25. It is comparable and is despicable. How in the White Nationalist world are these idiots getting a forum? Oh wait it’s because of the big racist Traitor Trump.

  26. People need to stop hesitating. It’s ok to say out loud that Trump has similarities to Hitler, because he does.

  27. Basically every speaker went on a racist rant that attack a minority group. It seemed like every minority group got mentioned. It’s just crazy seeing all the clips today.

  32. It’s funny how they have no issues likening democrats to Stalinist Russia for trying to promote equality but don’t like it when they’re compared to Nazi Germany when their leaders say that Hitler made good choices.

    The fact that Ben Shapiro openly supports these people is proof he has the moral fortitude of a crushed Pepsi can.

  33. We all know Tony’s to chickenshit to actually make fun of trump or his supporters. So much for “making fun of everyone”

  35. As the rally, Trump said he and Mike Johnson have “a little secret” to reveal after the election. WTF was that about?

  36. Republican trump supporters may have plausible deniability but enthusiastic ones are nazis and deserve stigma associated with that. This is not an election merely disagreeing with tax and regulatory policy. These people are evil freaks.

  37. This is where MAGA was always going and it’s finally arrived.

  38. You know how they say history doesn’t repeat itself, but often rhymes? This is a perfect example. In this case Hispanic migrants and red hats seem to rhyme a lot with Jews and swastikas.

  39. this is the fire i need Tim, this is the fire I fucking need

  40. This campaign is further clarifying that Trump and Vance have shit for brains. This election is about dictatorship vs. democracy. Vote blue if you care about your future.

  41. >The Madison Square Garden rally opened with a clip of the movie “Patton”, where Patton promises that they will “… cut out the guts of our enemies and use them to grease the treads on our tanks”.

    >The opening speaker called Puerto Rico a “floating garbage pile”.

    >A different speaker, Grant Cardone, said to the crowd, on Americans who don’t support Trump: “We need to slaughter these people”

    >This comes shortly after Donald Trump openly praised Hitler.

    Yeah, no resemblance whatsoever lol
