Trump to hold "Nazi Rally" in Madison Square Garden this Sunday

Last edited Thu Oct 24, 2024, 01:42 PM - Edit history (1)

In February of 1939, an American Nazi rally was held in New York in Madison Square Garden.

It was packed with Americans who admired Hitler and wanted America to enter the war on his side.* The had a huge picture of George Washington with Nazi flags displayed next to it. They all stood and gave the Nazi salute when called on to do so.

Trump is holding his rally 12 days before election day. And if you think he's not trying to invoke the fascism that has always existed in America, then you're not paying attention to reality. We know from his own words that he admires Hitler. And it's obvious he envies him. This rally is an attempt to emulate him.

That 1939 American Nazi rally was a stain on America, our Constitution, and our way of life.

The fact that Trump is doing a replay of it, is beyond disgusting. It's a gigantic poster of what he intends for America when/if he comes to power. And anyone who votes for him is (probably unknowingly) putting their head in a noose.

This rally is not something to be ignored. It must be protested. It must be loudly called out for the vile event it is.

* We didn't get into the war until December 8th, 1941, the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Well, I guess a good, devout Christian like Mike Johnson can find a way to rationalize the belief's of Jesus with the beliefs of Trump.

All of America will know the REAL intentions of Drumpf! If he thinks this will Garner sympathy for him and votes, he is sorely mistaken. There are still veterans from Korea, Vietnam, Iran, and Afghanistan who will be protesting.

He can run, but he cannot hide from his true Ancestry!

Where George Washington was draped, it will be Drumpf! Along with the American Nazi Party's and American flags. How Anti-American would that be?
