** 'Fascism on Full Display' at Trump's Madison Square Garden Rally
------------------------------------------------------------
October 28, 2024

From start to finish, Republican nominee Donald Trump's campaign rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night was a torrent of bigotry and fascistic rhetoric, with the former president and a bizarre lineup of preceding speakers trashing Puerto Ricans and Palestinians ([link removed]) , condemning the press, and casting their political opponents as a satanic ([link removed]) "enemy from within."

The event was described by Kathleen Belew, an associate professor of history at Northwestern University, as a "show of power and another attempt to make this look and feel normal."

"And it will not just magically disappear after the election, regardless of the outcome," Belew added. "In fact, it might be worth thinking through the very likely possibility that this kind of display suggests that this candidate and this movement don't care that much about the outcome."
