Vox's Aaron Rupar does his usual terrific job of documenting demented demagogue and neo-fascist Donald "COVID Donnie" Trump's unhinged Nuremberg rallies, this time at last night's event in remote Minden, NV. (By the way, the airports at Reno and Las Vegas barred him because the rallies would violate Federal COVID-19 / Trump Virus health safety standards; it wasn't Dem Gov. Steve Sislyak, as Trump claimed). He's getting more delusional and authoritarian as the election to remove him nears:
"We're gonna win four more years in the White House, and then we'll negotiate, because based on the way we were treated, we're probably entitled to another four years after that" -- Trump, slurring, began his rally in Nevada by teasing that he intends to serve more than two terms pic.twitter.com/dgPjimP7Rv— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 13, 2020
Trump, slurring, calls Joe Biden "a pathetic human being." If a guy sounding like this approached you on the other street, you'd run the other way. pic.twitter.com/cIcnxolFGQ— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 13, 2020
"By the way, the US Marshals did a great job in Portland. You know what I mean" -- here's Trump endorsing US Marshals killing a purported antifa sympathizer who was allegedly involved in a murder pic.twitter.com/v2vbhE49xz— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 13, 2020
"We have a rigged election. It's a rigged election" -- Trump plants the seeds for challenging the results of November's election pic.twitter.com/iTsOSPAweG— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 13, 2020
Trump, slurring, whines that because of his rally's remote location in Minden, Nevada, he wasn't able to use Air Force One as a prop pic.twitter.com/EeqaWEqhNF— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 13, 2020
"He wants to ban energy" -- Trump on Biden. Just totally absurd. pic.twitter.com/IvbbbXVNA8— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 13, 2020
Trump claims that Democrats want to "indoctrinate your children with poisonous anti-American lies in school." If there's a meaningful distinction between this sort of stuff and fascist rhetoric, I'm not sure what it is. pic.twitter.com/SPPuAGPZvm— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 13, 2020
"The reason we show many cases, because we have the best testing program in the world by far" -- Trump still doesn't understand that coronavirus testing does not cause coronavirus cases pic.twitter.com/NZorhtyzFt— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 13, 2020
"I hope you're all going to be poll watchers, because with you people watching the polls it's going to be pretty hard to cheat. I'll tell you, I wouldn't want to be a cheater" -- Trump pic.twitter.com/zihzzgx6LI— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 13, 2020
That last comment is an incitement for his cult to intimidate and harass voters at the polls, another felony, along with his call for his cult to vote twice. Interestingly, the Fux Channel chose not to air the rally, joining MSNBC, CNN, and even C-SPAN. The whiff of fascism is getting stronger.
