Trump-Loving Neo-Nazis Crash MAGA Boat Parade

BOATS OF A FEATHER
Trump-Loving Neo-Nazis Crash MAGA Boat Parade
Sunday's Trump boat parade was marred by Swastika-waving white supremacists shouting “Make America White Again!”

BY TIM DICKINSON
OCTOBER 14, 2024

A “TRUMP BOAT Parade” in Jupiter, Florida, on Sunday was joined by neo-Nazis waving Swastika flags, shouting “White Power,” “Heil Trump,” and “Make America White Again!”

The showboating of yachts and wake boats on behalf of Trump’s candidacy is a revival of the “Trump Armada” trend from 2020, when MAGAdonians with literal boatloads of disposable income met up to cruise around a harbor and create more than a little whitewater while waving Trump flags.

This event in Jupiter, one of the wealthiest areas of the state, was touted by Trump ally Roger Stone as the “mother of all TRUMP boat parades.” It promised the well-heeled crowd an “incredible airshow” with “paratroopers” descending with Trump 2024 flags.

But in the wake of Trump using openly fascistic rhetoric on the campaign trail — including pushing bigoted blood libel against Haitian immigrants and even parroting white-nationalists by describing America as an “occupied country” — actual neo-Nazis also tried to join the party.

"Crash" the parade? Did anyone try to stop them? Did anyone say they were not welcome? Midnight Writer Oct 14 #3

I find it funny that Rolling Stone is pretending that "neo-Nazis waving Swastika flags, shouting “White Power,” “Heil Trump,” and “Make America White Again!” are not part of the core magat crowd that this boat parade was organized by and for.

Did anyone from the GOP denounce their presence?

The head of The Republican National Committee was there. Cheerleading a rally where people were flying swastikas and wearing Nazi armbands and regalia.

Meanwhile, the GOP Presidential nominee, who is running in a statistically tied race, publicly pledges to use the military to quash dissent, to go after any who offend him, to prosecute and shutdown any media that does not praise him.

Jesus Christ, this is America today? This is how they want to "Make America Great Again"? By restoring the kind of despotic monarchy we threw off at the birth of this nation?

Next he plans to recreate the Madison Square Garden Klan Rally that his Daddy attended in the 1930s.

Republicans are cool with all this?
