The contrast here is shocking. As somebody pointed out, this would have been more effective if they'd interspersed the Obama and Trump clips. As it is, we switch from Obama to Trump at about the 5:40 mark, but the contrast is very stark. The Obama rallies are inspirational and hopeful. The Trump rallies are angry and resentful, and filled with a call to violence against fellow Americans.
I know it violates Godwin's Law, but these Trump rallies look EXACTLY like Nazi and Fascist rallies of the 1930s. With an angry demagogue throwing gasoline on populist resentment. Everybody wearing insignias (hats) that identify them as being part of this tribe. Stoking anger, hatred, and skapegoating of "the other." (Liberals, Democrats, latinos, immigrants; as being the root of all your problems.) Literally inciting the crowd to violence, and telling them there'll be no consequence for it.

(5,953 posts)...those damned Trump rallies look EXACTLY like Nazi rallies in the 1930s, with an angry demagogue throwing gassoline on the bonfire of populist resentment. Everybody shouting slogans, wearing insignias (hats), and vilifying and skapegoating 'the other.'

(3,944 posts)the contrast might have been brought out better if the Obama and the IQ45 scenes were interlaced.
