1984 and Nazi Rally comparisons being made about yesterday's tRump stump (creepy)

Donald Trump Lansing Rally Video Prompts '1984' Comparisons

A video edit played at Donald Trump's rally in Lansing, Michigan has prompted a raft of memes as well as comparisons to George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984.

People quickly took to social media to mock the short film, with many comparing it to Orwell's 1984 while others described it as "brainwashing" and "propaganda."

Others shared comments like: "very Nazi," "kinda looks like a remake of Hitler's propaganda," and "Did Goebbels make that?"

He continues to use their material regardless. When you're the president, McConnell will just let you do it.

In the final debate, his tone was that Joe was the incumbent and that Trump was the challenger. The same was true when the ads were talking about the social unrest that Biden created.

Since the start of the re-election campaign, Trump has run against Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, Hillary, and at least two Bidens.

With that many opponents, it's no wonder why his campaign is broke.

I thought it was supposed to start four years ago. It is as if he says, "I have failed for the last four years, so I need another four to get it right."

It was spooky.

What hamfisted junior propaganda nonsense. But quite effective on the lizard brained magats.
