American fascism came full circle Sunday night in New York City.
Not
since the pre-WWII American Nazi rallies has Madison Square Garden been filled
to the rafters with racism, lies, and hate. Sunday’s rally was a spectacle of
the once dormant fetid fruit of fascism returning to the venue.
I credit Aaron Ruper for sharing some of the highlights, or lowlights, of the American neo-Nazi hate speech at the rally.
Two hours before Donald Trump was set to take the stage at Madison Square Garden in New York City, right-wing “comedian” Tony Hinchcliffe warmed up the crowd with a shockingly racist performance.
“Where are my proud Latinos at tonight? You guys see what I mean? [The border’s] wide open. There’s so many of them.”
“These Latinos, they love making babies, too,” he added. “There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside just like they did to our country. (Audience groans) Republicans are the party with a good sense of humor.”
“Why is our money involved in these wars when it comes to Israel and Palestine?” he said. “We’re all thinking the same thing — settle your stuff already. Best out of three: rock, paper, scissors. You know, the Palestinians are going to throw rock every time. You also know the Jews have a hard time throwing that paper, you know?”
Hinchcliffe turned to Puerto Rico, “There’s a lot going on. I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico”.
The Trump campaign needed to resort to damage control. Campaign adviser Danielle Alvarez needed to lie, “This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign”. Right. And pigs fly.
He also made a remark about Black people who “carved watermelons” instead of pumpkins for Halloween.
Later Hinchcliffe absurdly declared Democrats “have no sense of humor”. Could this be because MAGA “humor” is ALWAYS drenched in hate, bigotry, and racism?
Byron Donalds spouted, "I'll be damned if you're gonna have some school tell my boys that they can now be girls. Not on my watch. Not on the watch of Donald Trump."
And the hits kept coming.
Sid Rosenberg showed there's no hate like MAGA hate when he raged, "She is some sick bastard, that Hillary Clinton. What a sick son of a bitch. The whole fucking party. A bunch of degenerates. Lowlives, Jew-haters, and lowlives. Every one of 'em. Every one of 'em."
Mike Johnson spewed the standard neo-Nazi lie that Democrats are "full on to Marxism".
"They thought they could kill him" -- Alina Habba on the registered Republican who shot at Trump.
Dr. Phil said "they" shot Trump.
"America is for Americans and Americans only" -- Sturmbannfuhrer Stephen Miller
"They even tried to take his life" -- Stephen Miller on the registered Republican who shot at Trump.
Brandishing a crucifix, David Rem hysterically shrieked, "She is the devil. She is the antichrist." No doubt this crackpot's idea of making America great again would take us back to the Salem witch trials.
"They're on the side of the terrorists!" -- Rudy Giuliani fear-mongered about Palestinians.
"Now they're trying to kill him" -- Rudy Giuliani on the registered Republican who shot at Trump.
Putin's paid American mouthpiece Tucker Carlson confessed, "The liberation he has brought to us is the liberation from the obligation to tell lies.” This was followed by his racist attack, “It’s going to be pretty hard to look at us and say, ‘You know what, Kamala Harris, she got 85 million votes because she’s just so impressive as the first Samoan, Malaysian, low IQ former California prosecutor ever to be elected president.’”
"They even tried to kill him" -- JD Vance on the registered Republican who shot at Trump.
Lara Trump claimed, "Donald Trump made New York City".
Donald Trump Jr. added, "The king of New York is back to reclaim the city that he built".
Trump took to the stage and spoke the words every American white supremacist and fascist loves to hear.
“On day one I will launch the largest deportation program in American history and get the criminals out. I will rescue every city in town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible. The United States is now an occupied country, but it will soon be an occupied country no longer. ... On Nov. 5, 2024, nine days from now, it will be Liberation Day in America.”
And
for Americans waiting for Trump’s healthcare plan to replace Obamacare, he
referred to RFK Jr: "I'm gonna let him go wild on health. I'm gonna let
him go wild on the foods. I'm gonna let him go wild on the medicines."
Who needs doctors, virologists and medical science anyway?
And finally, let’s note Trump’s loudest and clearest racist dog whistle to his fellow white nationalists in just these few words: “My beautiful white skin.”

"The best lack all conviction while the worst are full of passionate intensity."
Remembering William Butler Yeats and "The Second Coming", I offer this update:
Slouching Towards Bethlehem
Dulled and lulled by lying leaders and platitudes
Numbing us all and clouding our thoughts with
Monotonous tired clichés and trivial drivel
When mendacity ascends, something worse is sure to follow
Decency and reason are soon cast aside
Deceit, blame, anger and hate are unleashed
And together they rage across the land
Distorted vision darkens souls with bitter resentment
And a stand for truth draws wrath from the believers of lies

The party of values and morality. Of freedom and individualism. It'd be sad if it wasn't so exhausting. Look at social medial and various news outlets either whitewashing, gaslighting, and/or excusing the rhetoric coming from someone ostensibly running to be all of America's President.
Everyone on that side seems to forget how people get treated when they even mildly break from the rhetoric and hate speech. Look at all the Florida Republicans mildly pushing back against the Anti-Latino/Puerto Rican language.
The party of patriots and freedom, sure don't like it when individual Americans exercise their freedom to express independent thoughts. The high of feeling like you're part of the in crowd, of getting the most clicks on social media, of just being nasty to others really trumps social and responsibilities to fellow American.
"A house divided against itself cannot stand."
I wonder who the "Party of Lincoln" will blame when their dream of our crumbled house were to come to pass.
TB3,
We don't have to wonder for very long who will be blamed when they leave the nation in ruins. They will AWAYS blame the "Commie Democrats".
"Same as it ever was."
Beyonce Got $5 Million Dollars to participate in Kamala's BAIT AND SWITCH Game in Houston
A lot of the Texans who attended only wanted to see Beyonce perform, and they left after her two minute speech.
THE BEYONCÉ FANS WERE LEFT FURIOUS AFTER THE SINGER FAILED TO PERFORM AT A TEXAS RALLY FOR KAMALA HARRIS.
The Singer took to the stage in her native Houston to endorse the Vice President on Friday night.
Some of the fans had waited more than 12 Hours before packing into the city's Shell Energy Stadium expecting a performance, after rumors she would sing swirled online and the Washington Post reported on her expected appearance.
The singer appeared to come tantalizingly close to delighting the crowds when ALL SHE DID Was to Talk about How it Is Time for America to 'Sing a New Song'.
However, Rally-Goers were Ultimately Left Disappointed when the 'Single Ladies' SONGSTRESS MADE A BRIEF APPEARANCE in which she said she was not there as a Singing Celebrity, but as a Mother.
WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY NASTY AND VILE TRICK FOR CAMMIE TO PULL ON A CROWD OF FANS THAT WAITED THERE FOR HOURS TO SEE THE SONGSTRESS SING!
PC,
An OUTRAGE, I tell ya! How DARE celebrities not perform under the demand of rumors!
Speaking of rumors, where did you "learn" she was paid $5 million?
Please enlighten us and prove politifact is wrong!
"PolitiFact searched Google and the Nexis news database and found no credible reports that the Harris-Walz campaign paid Beyoncé to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris or give remarks at a Houston rally on Oct. 25.
(Why do I NOT expect an honest answer from you?)
Fans wanted a free concert, but she DARED to speak as a mother instead.
What happened to your pro-family, and anti-free stuff "values"?
Somehow I bet you have a lot more rumors and lies that your gullibility embraces. Anything that amplifies your hate will do, amirite?
You know it's serious when we've got the turn on the caps lock. Easier to ignore the rise of fascism, despotism, and the division sowed when a singer doesn't sing during an event that isn't billed as singing.
TB3,
Oh.
And here I thought PC's reaction was from her deep sense of compassion and empathy for her fellow Beyonce fans. :-)
Get out of here with that compassion and empathy beta stuff.
Yes, compassion and empathy are the devious weapons of the enemy within.
It astounds me that any normal American would even consider voting for a convicted felon, adjudicated sexual assaulter and the guy who suggested in front of an adoring group of his cultists that Liz Cheney, a former US Representative, should be put in front of a firing squad and have her face blown off.
Do any of the MAGAs who comment here think that's normal for a presidential candidate to say? Have they EVER heard such death wishes for a fellow American by any other American politician?
I can't remember anything that vicious and sick being said by anyone seeking the highest office in America. It is disgusting, it is demented, and it is criminal, since Trump is a felon awaiting sentencing and inciting his thugs to do bodily harm to a US citizen.
Trump is a pestilential plague on our country, and it is my ardent hope that next Tuesday he disappears into the ignominy that he so richly deserves.
Shaw,
Trump is evil. His minions are evil. Far too many Americans are blind to this reality.
The news media took forever to call him out as a fascist, and needed some generals to take that stand first. Informed people have been saying this for years.
Most media will still cower instead of facing the truth about what Trump is.
We know his duped supporters are his cult. They cannot think for themselves and refuse any information that contradicts their Dear Leader. J6 was "a day of love".
They're too ignorant to understand Orwell called his torture/indoctrination facility the "Ministry of Love" in "1984". But they love their Big Brother Donald.
Even worse, they EMBRACE Trump's lies and hate for the rest of us.
They are either frightened sheep, or paranoid white Christian nationalist racists.
As I noted to Les about my "worse than garbage" statement:
I'm not referring to seriously conditioned, deluded, or helplessly ignorant Trump voters.
I mean him and his criminal cartel of evil thugs, liars, racists, neo-Nazi fascists, and insurrectionists.
Garbage isn't destroying our democracy and tearing the nation apart by pitting us against each other with hate and lies.
THEY are.
Garbage didn't deny and interfere in our election, storm the Capitol, terrorize Congress, and beat cops bloody to overturn the will of the people.
THEY did.
I'll say it again. They are much worse than garbage.
I can't say who will be the next president, but I CAN say Trump will incite violence and chaos, refuse to concede, and try to overturn the election if he loses.
I can also say more Americans will vote for Kamala.
I fear the slave owning founders planted a poison pill in our Constitution. The anti-democratic Electoral College has resulted in the unraveling of our republic. One more Trump victory will be the end of it.
