The GOP will demur that the Nazi references are our Democratic imagination. McConnell/Johnson will trot out telling us we are demeaning Trump by calling him a fascist. BTW he is.

Lindsey Graham said he didn’t believe Kamala Harris was a fascist, but he thought she was incompetent. Really?

There was no reason to have a rally at Madison Square Garden other than evoking the 1939 Nazi Rally. Trump will never win NY state. They know he’s a fraud. There are other large venues to have a rally that would have attracted media attention.

This is what it appears to be: A Nazi rally.

I think this was a wonderful rally. No, not because I agree with any of it (my opinion is that there was a floating island of garbage in Manhattan the other day, though fortunately it has dispersed).

It was wonderful because they just put that out there for everyone -- including every voter -- to see. Their world, of cis straight Christian white men (and the women and POC grifters willing to support them) is even now a small minority of Americans. What's more there are plenty of cis straight Christian white men find their claims of supremacy off-putting (think Tim Walz). Which makes them a itsy bitsy part of the electorate which openly hates every other part of the electorate.

Good work, MAGA! You are ensuring your defeat. You are making it easy for me to argue the point with the not-quite-red-pilled that the Republicans today are no better than Nazis.

Work now. Vote and get everyone to vote! Keep going til the last polls close. We will rally in the streets, less choreographed -- but far more freely, openly, and lovingly -- when the forces of democracy defeats the forces of autocracy.
