Republicans denounce comparison of 27 October event to notorious 1939 rally made by Democrats and Jewish leaders
Donald Trump’s decision to hold a rally in the heart of Manhattan on 27 October, nine days before election day, has been slammed by New York Democrats, with one comparing the booking to an infamous Nazi rally held at the same venue in the lead-up to the second world war.
But it has also triggered a backlash to such sentiments, with Republicans saying such rhetoric heightens tensions even more in a presidential election campaign which has already seen two attempts on Trump’s life.
The Democratic state senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal, whose district includes much of the west side of Manhattan where a date on Trump’s “arena tour” rally has been booked at Madison Square Garden, called on venue owners to cancel the event.
“Let’s be clear,” Hoylman-Sigal wrote on X. “Allowing Trump to hold an event at MSG is equivalent to the infamous Nazis rally at Madison Square Garden on February 20, 1939.”
Hoylman-Sigal was referring to a pro-Hitler rally, organized by the German American Bund, that was attended by more than 20,000 people and featured a portrait of George Washington flanked by swastikas. Many attendees came from Yaphank, Long Island, where the Bund was headquartered and had a summer camp teaching Nazi ideology.

I agree, and I can’t believe I’m saying this - because the Republicans are unequivocally going full Nazi, BUT
Republicans are doing crazy Nazi shit all the time. Yeah, the date has significance to American Nazis, and normally anything Nazi would have been publically perceived bad pre-Trump.
Even then, the Nazi accusations are often poorly executed and come off more as “EvErYoNe On ThE rIgHt Is A nAzi” and less “You are being categorically lied to, and if you vote Republican you will be irreversibly enslaved by the business class”
But we are so far past Republicans dancing around Nazism that complaining about sharing a Nazi date/location isn’t going to make anyone clutch their pearls and see clearly.
Trump and the Republicans going full Nazi doesn’t have much impact to the American population because
There are no consequences to being a punk ass Nazi bitch if you’re Republican, it’s actually a pre-requisite now.
No one is producing content to accurately show the Republican path to Nazism, the parallels, the significance, and the danger. No mention of union riots and former working conditions in the US, nothing.
Both political parties are entirely beholden to the donor class who is warming up to Nazism, which is why the Anti-Nazi rhetoric is only done in small, insignificant doses instead of a competent national Anti-Nazi campaign so Democrats have plausible deniability that they warned the public.
People aren’t threatened by Trump and will vote for him because America doesn’t tolerate traitors, and if anything Democrats said about Trump is true, surely he would be Jailed in Guantanamo Bay by now.
Total lack of consequences = evidence of innocence, so anything you say against Trump is hand-waved away because if anything was wrong/bad it wouldn’t be allowed.
This logic made Trump untouchable so far.
I seem to be lacking this piece of information. Why is this date significant?

No, that was November 9th.
I disagree with the second point becuase Robert Evans and his Cool Zone Media podcast network and other notable Cracked alum Cody Johnston and Katy Stoll are both producing great content that does just that, but they are niche and the folks that need to listent to them most will dismiss their mediums and youth.
Highly reccomend Evans’s 100% free audiobook The War on Everyone
