Why are people mad that he done MSG?

In 1939 there was famously a Nazi rally in MSG. To be fair, the vast vast majority of events held at MSG were not Nazi rallies. But, just like that rally, a huge focus was anti-immigrant, and anti-anyone who isn't white. So, when you have people on stage saying that Time Square has been taken over by immigrants (I have been there many times recently and it is as it has always been) or that Puerto Rico is an island of garbage (Puerto Ricans are certainly not illegal immigrants, so it's not about immigration), or that all Palestinians are terrorists, it raises some eyebrows.

You combine this with the fact that there is not much of a reason to do a rally in MSG. New York is not in contention this year. So, why do a rally there? One theory is that it's a dog whistle to white supremacists. Combining the location, the tone of the rally, public statements by Trump that are nearly verbatim Hitler quotes (i.e. immigrants are poisoning the blood of the country), recent reports from credible sources about Trump praising Hitler in private... And yeah, you got a pretty good case that this was an intentional appeal to nazis. 

But you know, inflation in the US was almost as bad as it was in every other developed nation over the past four years, so why not elect a fascist. Maybe he can make sure the trains run on time.

Well, yeah, if you’re gonna vote for this with record-high inflation (that Trump brought on us in the first place by bungling Covid, hence production shortages)

and this:

and this:

And Trump openly boasting about his plans to be an unchecked fascist if he’s elected as a x34 convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who literally tried to overthrow the government (Jan. 6th).

vs. a sane woman who prosecuted creeps like Trump who plans to fight corporate price-gouging and for tax breaks for the middle class, the true job creators?

In 2016, the opposite happened with Trump gaining a lot of votes from defected Bernie supporters. Add in a historically-unpopular candidate who refused to campaign in rust belt states against her own party’s recommendations and the writing was on the wall. Now the tables have turned and sects of Trump’s own base sees an infected walrus in their own party and wanting to put it down. You think inflation is bad now, Trump imposing a 60% tariff on China goods (that’s a price increase in case you aren’t aware) isn’t gonna help that at all, quite the opposite.

Any evidence that there is a large amount of Republicans voting for Harris? It certainly is possible, but I have not seen any proof of that yet. 

It’s all anecdotal, but there’s literally thousands of tweets from registered Republicans and independents who said they’re not only voting for Kamala, but Democratic down the ticket. It’s all in that video.

I’ve seen snippets of YouTube comments from registered Repubs saying the same as well, none for Trump from the other side. I’ve yet to see a single Dem cross-party voter.
