    Interesting :

    20,000 Nazi attendees inside.

    100,000 antifa coutnter-protesters oustide.

    2,300 police outside and inside.

    The Bellamy Salute was used by schoolkids in The Pledge of Allegiance until 1942(basically the Nazi salute).

      And the pledge of allegiance was invented by a desperate grifter that needed to sell excess flag inventory. He targeted school classrooms. Pledge also didn’t originally have the “God” part either. All true, will try to add link to a good video if I can find

      And KISS played their last show there. It’s got a lot of history.

            He’s not. They’re trying to link the fact that Trump held a rally at MSG and Hitler held one there, therefore, Trump is a Nazi. But that’s stupid, because Bill Clinton held a political rally there when he was running too. So did RFK. So did many Democrat president candidates.

              No, they’re not basing it on the fact that trump had an event there, but that it was almost indistinguishable from a Nazi rally by its topics and demeanor.

              They’re saying that trump is a Nazi because of the Nazi slogans he repeats.

              They’re saying it wasn’t the first Nazi rally, because Nazis had one before there.

                It wasn’t. At all.

                He’s not repeating Nazi slogans.

                And I just found out it’s not even the same building. It’s location has moved twice. It’s such a lame stretch to try and link the two. It’s sad

              I think they’re saying Trump is a nazi because all the fascist rhetoric that keeps coming out of him and his associates. The rally was just… extra spectacle.

                There is no fascist rhetoric coming from trump or those hes adding to his transition team.
