Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

For anyone who hasn't seen this regarding that 1939 rally: https://anightatthegarden.com/
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.
Yeah the Washington thing was weird. He’d have been very very opposed to the idea I think.
But that’s always what fascists do, isn’t it? They appropriate symbols from wherever they can find them to twist their meaning. Swastikas, Gadsden flag, Celtic crosses, Nordic runes, punisher logo, thin blue line, they all started as something else that were adopted by fascists and their meaning twisted.
Isn't he supposed to be banned from NY? How was he allowed to have this rally where they know he won't pay for it? Doesn't he already owe NY millions?
He's banned from owning any business in NY. Presumably he got his sugar daddy Elon to pay. If I were MSG, I would definitely demand the money up front, though, along with a hefty security deposit to make sure they adequately clean up.
If I were MSG I’d tell them to go fuck themselves and that I don’t want my venue associated with such garbage. But yes, money up front at all times with this dumbass.
Don't the Dolans still own MSG? They are shitty enough that they might have done it for free
Isn't he supposed to be banned from NY?
Honest question: huh?
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.
