I don't have a link as I just saw this on CNN. NOT a winning message. They know the Nazi rally at MSG is a problem.
Even stone-faced Dana Bash was speaking out about it NOT being the "love-fest" TSF claims.

(53,397 posts)...Trump could get impeached for reciting Nixon's speech.
On November 16, 1973, Nixon spoke at the Associated Press Managing Editors Conference at Walt Disney World and talked about the allegations he was profiting from public service. This is what he said:
"I have earned every cent. And in all my years of public life, I have never obstructed justice. People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got."
Trump is a crook, and all he's done is obstructed justice.

I am so very sick of this creep. His toxic, gross, Nazi message is sucking all the oxygen out of the room.
Can't wait for VP Harris' rally tonight. I need a dose of decency, and an uplifting message to counter all the bigoted garbage the cult is spewing.

(22,734 posts)Nazism is described as one type of fascism. Both fascism and Nazism reject democracy and liberalism as ideologies, and instead embrace the concept of a nationalist state.

AmBlue
(3,460 posts)...that THIS is his closing argument. That in the very last week run-up to the American Presidential election we have this candidate--who is a known felon, con man, and racist-- holding a big, Nazi-reminiscent rally, then denying he is a Nazi, when all else he does and says tells us otherwise.
The lies and gaslighting and all-out hatred IS his closing argument. I am not dismissing the danger, but I think the American people will crush him in a landslide.

(9,150 posts)it is the fact that these media people can continue to even entertain a discussion with this rapist, convicted felon, serial liar, insurrectionist and traitor that is so amazingly repugnant time after time. To accept doing this means there is no bottom and therefore they would have entertained Gacey, Manson, Berkowitz, Dahmer etc. and called it "attempting to be fair".

I dont think Mr. Trump got any sleep last night. Somebody really should get him to a sleep clinic. There are a ton of people around him grifting. There does not appear to be anybody caring. He does not deserve our sympathy. Nonetheless, his misery is so palpable today, I do pity the sleepless slug-man. Let us make certain he goes home to sleep after he loses this election.

(3,589 posts)So his denial is irrelevant. Hes been labeled as fascist, and theres a difference. All Nazis are/were fascist. But not all fascists were/are Nazis. For example, the Mussolini and his crowd in Italy were fascists, but not Nazis. Imperial Japan from the 30s to the end of the war was fascist, but not Nazi.
Basically, Nazism was just a flavor of fascism.
