 I believe the fascist rally today at Madison Square Garden had two goals: 1) further mobilize the Trump cult to flood the polls (disrupting Democratic voting in the process). 2) demoralize Harris voters into thinking it's all over. It may succeed on the first, but my hope is that it completely backfires on the second -- that everyone who doesn't want a fascist government will turn out and swamp the extremists. 4 comments
 @abartlet @dangillmor That was a comedian? I didn't hear a lot of laughter. I'd wager that public yuk-yuk jokes in that line would have been unwelcome in the Ante-Bellum South. A certain decorum is called for if you're aiming to crush the last red drop of profit out of the underclass. Otherwise they might, you know, revolt. The whole thing will backfire. They're the party of anti-vaxers and anti-maskers an a lot of them are as dead as Herman Cain. Sane Republicans are joining Democrats to vote them down, and that's not happened before. The leading edge of the Live Gunman Drills generation are now eligible to not only vote but run for office, and that wasn't the case before. Of course they'll try anything at this point because their bag of tricks is now empty and that's all they got.
 @dangillmor What it looked like to me was stirring up the troops for a repeat of 06Jan. Which is actually a hopeful sign because it means they know they are about to lose the actual election. |

@dangillmor I thought it was well signalled that goal 0 was to inflate Trump's ego?
Given the spectacular backfire so far, it really looks like an own goal.
Did nobody vet that "comedian"?
