NC Trump Rally Account Is The Scariest Thing You'll Read Today

[UCmeNdc]

A Trump Rally in Greensboro "Anger in here is palpable"

Just got told I don't "look right."

I don't like Hitler comparisons but that was positively like Nuremburg rally level crazy.

1. This is why GOP plans to steal the nomination from him are fanciful.

His supporters will make sure there will be blood at the Convention if the GOP PTB tried.

2. It's worse than even I thought

I knew Trump is a disaster, a hateful misogynist, racist, homophobic, and xenophobic cretin. And I've heard about Trump rallies that resemble the ones in the Third Reich's Neurenberg.

But this!! From an article in the New Republic by the same guy who was live Tweeting this terrible nightmare:

By the end of Trump’s speech, everything had been touched: His successes in the polls. ISIS and illegal immigrants in the same breath. Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren. The “dishonest” media and Trump’s revocation of the Washington Post’s press credentials, during which my section chanted “Kill them all / kill them all.”

He’d rambled until he couldn’t ramble anymore and seemed spent. He’d exhausted yelling “Shut up, you SILLY WOMAN!” during an odd, misplaced poem that compared immigrants to snakes. At another point, a boy interrupted with “We all bleed red” and was dragged out by security as Trump sarcastically called, “Don’t hurt him! Please don’t hurt that person!” and the crowd replied, “Hurt him! / Hurt him!” As he was led to the doors, a small pack of supporters broke off from the throng and followed as if they meant to pummel him just past the exit.

Outside, the lot was filled with more vendors and beyond them cars and trucks with Confederate Flag bumper stickers, decals, license plates, and actual Confederate Flags. In the shadow of one I watched a dad spank his child heatedly, as if the man needed somewhere to focus all his anger.

I have a very ugly feeling it will only get worse. Like the author, I hate stupid Nazi comparisons, but this account is the closest I've seen to something as ugly as the Neurenberg rallies. And the aftermath.

3. With Trump, the Hitler/Mussolini comparisons are...

...actually valid: blind nationalism; demonizing by race and religion; spying on one's neighbors; conspiracy theories writ large; xenophobia; anti-intellectualism; demagoguery; nativism, etc. The parallels to 1930s Germany are shockingly similar.
