Supporters of Donald Trump convened at Madison Square Garden in New York City, donning a plethora of monotonous red hats. As the evening unfolded, it became evident that the attendees were no longer concealing their true sentiments. Numerous remarks that echoed the quieter, uncomfortable truths rang out throughout the night.
“I just returned from Israel, and they asked me, Sid, do you want to speak at this event at MSG? I replied, ‘Of course — it’s not typical for me to address a Nazi gathering. I was just in Israel.’ But I accepted the invitation,” a speaker remarked from the stage, offering a stark illustration of the MAGA ideology. While some dismissed it as mere humor, many found it anything but funny, a sentiment that resonated throughout the entire gathering. Even the so-called “comic” took to the stage, delivered racist material, and feigned it as a joke.
It appears that MAGA supporters joking about the rally being a “Nazi” event fail to grasp the serious concerns being raised regarding parallels between MAGA and the Nazi regime. Notably, Stephen Miller addressed the MSG crowd stating, “America is for Americans and Americans only.” This closely mirrors a statement made by Adolf Hitler regarding Germany during WWII.

The entire event was not only unsettling but alarming. Observers noted that the atmosphere of this MAGA rally eerily resembled that of the infamous 1939 Nazi rally at the same venue.
The only difference between the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden and the Nazi rally there is we have the internet now.

Across social media, many are stunned by the blatant unveiling of MAGA supporters’ true colors. Yet, some individuals continue to allow Trump and his affiliates to behave in openly racist and sexist manners without consequence.
This is a Nazi rally. They’re Nazis. Good god, that should mean something.

The World is Watching
Anyone attending a Trump Rally ought to feel a sense of shame. Their actions paint a vivid picture of their identity. Regardless of their motives for supporting or voting for Trump, they convey to members of communities that Trump continually assaults that their existence is insignificant. If you stand with Trump, would you assist a woman seeking a safe abortion when he again targets reproductive rights?
If you align with Trump, are you prepared to aid children left parentless due to his harsh and discriminatory immigration practices?
This is not *like* a Nazi rally. This is a neo-Nazi rally. Your friends who are Black, Latino, Jewish, women, gay, transgender, union, Muslim, disabled, members of any vulnerable minority, are watching what you do today. Are you speaking up about this? pic.twitter.com/Nj5ffWpkr9

Miller’s assertion that America is exclusively for Americans is frankly absurd. If your aim is to restore greatness to this country, perhaps you should recall the foundational principles upon which it was built. The United States was established as a sanctuary of freedom where anyone could come to pursue a better life. The notion that only a select group is entitled to the “American Dream” undermines what has historically made being an American so valuable.
My ancestors immigrated to this country less than a century ago. Does that qualify them as your “American”? The derogatory remarks aimed at Puerto Rico during the rally underscore that MAGA supporters often reveal their true racist ideologies. Remember, Puerto Rico is a part of the United States, yet MAGA speakers still hurled racist comments.
Their love for America is less about the nation and more about the pursuit of power and dominance; labeling the event as a Nazi rally is hardly inaccurate.
