Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, compared former President Trump’s Sunday rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden in to a 1939 pro-Nazi event.
“Donald Trump’s got this big rally going at Madison Square Garden,” Walz said at an event in Henderson, Nev. “There’s a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid-1930s at Madison Square Garden.”
An American Nazi Party held a rally at Madison Square Garden in February 1939 that lured 20,000 supporters to the iconic New York City landmark.
“And don’t think that he doesn’t know for one second exactly what they’re doing there,” Walz said.
That's because it was a modern Nazi rally

This made me sick to my stomach. I hadn’t seen the documentary before although I did know about the event. The fact that we seem to be on the precipice of this again is very frightening.
Among other things the huge parallel that stood out to me is that they push for all this racist fascist crap while wrapping themselves in what most people would consider the most revered icons of our nation. The things that we always used to use to adorn the parts of our nation we are proud of, at least until maga coopted many of them. The flag, George Washington, etc etc.
Glad he said it and specifically said, don't think for a second that they don't know what the imagery is. This was full on, arms extended ✋ the American nazi party never went away.
The fact that people can disagree with what Walz says is scary and ridiculous, especially because some people will actually support all of Trump's insane bigotry.
Then again, we live in a world where one country can bomb innocent people in another country and be supported in doing so. Maybe people are just very good at compartmentalising and rationalising, to the point that anything can become acceptable if it is framed in 'the right way'. That's probably the largest part of why I don't emotionally attach to being a human (that and autism).
