Wow. I think I said OMG in shock, horror, and disgust two times in the first two minutes.

(55,140 posts)This is like bad humor, bad ideas, a petty personal hate fest for all the speakers. There's nothing tying them together but hatred.

(7,046 posts)That there were even that many people in New York who tolerated that is embarassing to the city.
That creep's words need to be all over the place this week. October surprise, that just ended any chance Trump may have had of getting elected.

(1,783 posts)No more discussing Trump and the crazy. No more showing people how dangerous it is. We can have a coffee klatch with our like-minded neighbors and talk only about Kamala and Tim. Preach to the believers.
Because our news media is on the job! They're exposing Trump and his supporters as the racist, misogynistic, fascist monsters that they are. Everyone is fully aware of the dangers these people present!
Right. Because decades of "going high when they go low" has worked a treat. Putting up awful candidates because "they're not the other guy" is enough for people to vote for a Democrat. Vote Blue, No Matter Who is not a working strategy, people. It hasn't really worked since, well, never.
Kamala Harris is running an awesome campaign without inciting violence, or hate. She's pointing out where Trump is a danger, and people are getting the message. We have other smart people who are calling out the nonsense. People are listening, because the message is getting out, things are being talked about.

(7,920 posts)Watched the whole lot, the historical parallels are uncanny.
But it was just your standard cultism phenomena.
Wind up your followers by:
Over dramatizing and overstating the powers of the enemy.
Insulting and demonizing the mostly imaginary forces against you.
Bring out the racism trope - America is for (white) Americans, if you weren't born here you don't fit in.
Saying God is on your side.
Over promising the future benefits of staying faithful to the cult.
etc
But the whole show reeked of over dramatization and desperation of a cult on the cusp of implosion.
Hoping to hear mentions of the mothership coming to take the faithful to the promised land, but I may have missed that one.
And the enhanced flavor-aid was yet to be served.
Human tribal evolution hasn't progressed any since Germany pre WW2, and America hasn't learnt the lessons from Jonestown or Waco.
Sad!
Footnote: This was NOT a political rally meant to attract the votes of fence sitters! It may well have had the opposite effect on anyone with two brain cells.
