The Nazi rally was the first thing I thought of when I learned the Convicted Felon would speak at Madison Square Garden. Let us be optimistic that he will blunder and fail that night and when the votes are counted.

The symbolism is obvious, nothing about the failed insurrectionist is subtle, the potential is scary; but the reality is that the traitor and Convicted Felon is losing his energy and his ability to communicate and, while Vance is the heir presumptive, the lines of authority are unclear and working through any change in power at the head of the movement is almost impossible that close to the election. As with so many situations in the last 9 years, it will be ugly, but we will get through it and, as hard as it seems to be to believe now, we'll be better off for having revived some political activism that had been largely dormant.

Bill,

Thank you greatly for your powerful

wake up call.

Watching this video is shocking.

Seeing its obscene disgusting repetition

--Trump channeling Hitler on October 27--

will make us sick to our stomachs.

"I think he will set the stage

for another effort to undermine our election process

and call his loss “a steal”.

And worse.

Is another coup being planned?"

Yes. It is.

It is scary, and for sure he's looking for attention, even if it's for being unhinged. I hope there are lots if empty seats, but I suspect that since it's so accessible, he'll draw from the tri-state area.

The Trump-humpers are electric about their guy at MSG. His insane cult members will be hyped all over social media before an after, but take heart. It will be business as usual: he will blather on, it will be word salad, and he will white man dance for them. The new normal is Trump on his slide down. Not to worry. The race isn't close as the media portrays. How can it be? The worst candidate in history versus one of the best. The cult will have wasted their time and their money. Nothing will stop the Kamala train now.

My optimistic self thanks you for this comment! I foresee an epic spew fest of nonsense and the MSM won't be able to ignore it or explain it away.

Every appearance by the Orange Menace is now a gift to democracy.

Bill. A great post this one. I was unaware of the past Nazi rally but have no doubt that is what orange face will hearken to.
