Topic: What is a Trump rally like?
Anonymous A started this discussion 6 years ago #93,529
Ever been to a Klan rally?.. That's exactly what it was like. I attended one out of sheer curiosity.. Like when you see an awful car crash ..you're repulsed but can't quite look away .
I witnessed a throng of inexplicably hyper angry white male faces in what can only be described as an orgasmic frenzy of racial hatred. Yes there were a few Hispanics and a few People of Color there..and I think the only thing that saved them from being attacked was they had on the red maga hats.
I struck up a conversation w/ a young Black man (wearing a maga hat) who admitted he was being “compensated” to be there… as was his friend. I inquired if he was there for the “optics” and he shrugged.. confirming what I assumed to be true.
The place was pretty much wall to wall with some really seedy criminal looking individuals that can only be described as “neo-klan” / “alt-klan”…replete w/ racist tatts, confederate patches, & among them the more clean cut albeit sinister looking “tiki torch” types.- Everything but the hoods & sheets.
The atmosphere was so openly repugnant I would say even George Wallace would wince.. I had no doubt that the next trump inspired terrorist could very well be lurking in this crowd. I glanced at law enforcement in attendance noting their open comradery with the crowd..often engaging in openly friendly enthusiastic exchanges.
Then I noticed 2 young Black women without MAGA hats. They looked absolutely terrified, avoiding eye contact with anyone. I kept an eye on them because I feared for their safety as these women obviously had ventured into a war zone.
The n-word was being thrown around quite openly with a cacophony of other racists epithets I can't even repeat… chanted w/ menacing ferocity every time “grand wizard trump” riled them up on cue.
When Rep. Maxine Waters name was mentioned, I saw “Hitler salutes” & heard things shouted out so gruesomely racist, toxic and disgusting ..it would make a common bigot grimace..I looked around at the twisted angry faces thinking about the ironic slogan that this venomous, - horror show of hate - in any way….”makes America great”..
Watching these people file out at the end, amped up, rowdy, and emboldened, I recalled the data confirming that typically (after trumps rallies), hate crimes against non-white Americans in that particular city usually spikes.
I saw first hand how easy it was to “otherize” people & radicalize young white males into circa 1940 era white terrorism mindset. The parallels were stark in how Bin Laden also had recruited legions of young men into the Taliban to prepare for 9/11.
It was at that moment I got at real time glimpse of what it must have been like for Black Americans back in 1950 surrounded by a frenzy of feral white lynch mobs, imagining the sheer utter terror they had endured …& now feeling a visceral disgust at the realization that this ugliness has resurrected in my country again in 2019 no less.

@previous (A)
I'd be ok with 10,000 yellow jackets and Maxine Waters being thrown in a small room together.
