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.
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).
