Thank you. For your boost of hope and faith in American voters. For your historical knowledge and willingness to share it with all of us. I’m an educated and curious, reading, researcher and I didn’t know about that earlier white nationalist rally in the same spot. When I heard Trump was holding this event at MSG I felt sick that there could be enough people who think as he thinks, to fill that venue. Seeing a clip from a rally this week where Tucker Carlson screamed to ‘us all’ that it is time for “Daddy to come home” as he described a theoretical, insolent teenaged daughter who slams her door - needing “Daddy to come give her a spanking that would HURT HER way more than it hurt him” … and the MAGA crowd cheered.

And today I read the NYT saying Trump has the edge. Morning Joe saying utter dead heat. Trump isn’t even what breaks my soul - it’s what and WHOM he represents that breaks my soul. This country refuses - generation after generation - to take accountability for what ‘white Christian nationalists’ have done to enslave, destroy and eradicate land, animals, nature and other human beings. We cannot truly evolve until we take accountability.

Yesterday ‘Daddy’ said places like ‘The Congo’ were dumping their trash into the United States. Then repeated ‘America is a garbage can’ half dozen times.

And the crowd screamed in delight.

As my soul broke.

My saving grace last night was the Walz rally in North Carolina where I watched James Taylor and his family sing “Shower the People” to a much larger crowd and hearing us all - myself included - sing in unison, “Shower the people you love with love. Show them the way that you feel. Things are gonna be alright if you only will …”

Only two weekend left to GOTV.

It's not a deadheat. I never believed that. It'd media needing to keep the story active. No way is this country going to fall to this would-be fuhrer.

the whole Hitler thing is a bunch of lies. The whole fascism and white supremecy is all exaggerated by democrats that don't have enough issues to run on. That's all they have. And I've been a democrat my whole life - I campaigned for RFK jr and now I'm camapaigning for Trump. I even went to the womens march after trump was inaugurated 8 years ago to protest his presidency! I did a complete 180 and now I back him after the corruptioin of covid and science and healthcare and just *everything*. RFK will guide Trump to make the better choices now.

You must have lost your mind somewhere along the way. People who know him and worked with him are finally speaking up. Have you stopped believing your own eyes and ears? You're in trouble.

Savi_heretic33's avatar

Vague statement. What are you talking about specifically?

Savi_heretic33's avatar

They don't even know what fascism is. They don't even know that Biden rewrote historic civil rights laws and took rights away from people. They have nothing but fear and outrage. Nothing. No ideas. No vision.

Savi_heretic33's avatar

How is Trump like Hitler? He fully supports jews and Israel. Be specific.

Rowland Scherman's avatar

He want to be a dictator like all his pals: Putin, Plus the Chinese guy and the Hungarian guy and the N Korea guy. All fascist dictators.

Savi_heretic33's avatar

Right. You lost so many rights when he was in power 🤡

Depending on the font, upside down is 666 👿

Hey, Trumpists, you really want to put that on your forehead?

Think hard…. Uuurrggghhhh….. that’s right.

Savi_heretic33's avatar

Yep the Democratic Party operates like a Pentecostal church. They're sinners! Thank you for proving this.

J973's avatar

if you dig into it you will find the people at the top (not the regular rank and file) of a lot of cults are into satan - such as freemasons, illuminati, scientologists and lots of other cults that have names that are not typically known by the average person

PEB's avatar

Well, the GOP did invert the pentangles on their elephant logo sometime during the Reagan/Bush years. One can only wonder why.

Living in a swing state is terrifying, this makes me feel empowered. And brave! And like I want to be visible.

PUSSY HATS!!

I think it would be so timely to bring out the pussy hats so every uterus owning person can be a Cat Lady!

The Republicans and Democrats are using abortion as wedge issue to cover up their treason. If you think the Democrats are protecting a woman's right to choose--you're wrong. I personally gave the Democrats irrefutable evidence of judicial misconduct by Amy Coney Barrett at her Supreme Court confirmation hearing. They refused to it. Now these unscrupulous bastards are campaigning on protecting a woman's right to choose when they are at least partially to blame for letting Barrett on the Supreme Court in the first place.

I wrote about this in my book: The Illusion of Justice. (There is a link for a free digital copy of my book in my post today.

Naomi Haus-Roth's avatar

So, do you like the idea of wearing Pussy Hats again?

That’s all I’m asking, thanks for sharing your opinions, maybe someplace else would be better?

The Illusion of Justice's avatar

It's not my opinion--it's documented fact. I can only assume from your comment that you don't want the American people to know the truth.

Naomi Haus-Roth's avatar

I like Mike.

But thanks for sharing!

I went to the womens march in DC to protest when Trump was elected (even gave him the finger when he drove past on inauguration day), it was huge, 500K people. Now, 8 years later I'm supporting RFK and Trump and maybe I'll go to the inauguration to celebrate Trump getting elected and bringing RFK into his administration. RFK knows who is honest and will help Trump pick his administration. I think a lot of people are sick of the corruption of this country and want honest people to be in power.

The worm for Secretary of State.

"Using the abortion issue"?

You're in for a rude awakening bud lol

The Republicans and Democrats have been conspiring together to pack the courts with corrupt corporate judges who will never side with the American people. The Republicans describe these corrupt judges as pro-life. The Democrats pretend they are opposed but refuse to do anything to block their confirmation or remove them when they flagrantly violate the Code of Conduct for United States Judges.

If the Democrats really wanted to protect a woman's right to choose, they would have used the documented proof of Amy Coney Barrett's judicial misconduct I had given them at her Supreme Court confirmation hearing.

The Democrats aren't really pro-choose--they're pro-corruption like the Republicans. If you would like to know what these two demonstrably corrupt political parties have been up to, I strongly suggest that you read my post today. (It's not an accident that my post was shoved back to the very end of this platform.)

The Illusion of Justice's avatar

Michael Moore's AI program clearly does not like it when anyone challenges the corrupt status quo. Although I was one of the first to reply, my post appears dead last!

Natalie's avatar

Stop. Get off your chair and go outside.

Nancy Cruz's avatar

I am stunned by the extreme hatred of women exhibited by these Republicans read what Tucker Carlson said yesterday about spanking.

W.J. Gallo's avatar

Carlson is a sick individual. And just plain weird. The misogyny he displayed had no bounds and done for a reason. It works with the MAGA crowd.

It's surprising that only 55% of Americans support Medicare for All. Could it be that the potential benefits of this system, such as improved access to healthcare and reduced financial burden, are not being fully understood?

It's a sobering fact that more lives are lost prematurely each year in the US due to our disjointed insurance and healthcare system than the total casualties in Gaza over the past year. This underscores the urgent need for a single-payer universal healthcare system.

First, we need to get Harris elected because we're not going to be able to accomplish our goals for working and retired people under a Trump dictatorship.

J973's avatar

"trump dictatorship", We have plenty of government corruption now - with Robert F Kennedy helping and guiding Trump we will have much less. We desperately need reform of the government. The revolving door from governement regulator to corporations needs to end. Robert F Kennedy will be the point man to do this for Trump. RFK will be allowed to pick some of Trump's cabinet officials which is a huge win for the American people because Robert F Kennedy knows who is honest. In Trump's first term, Trump did not know who was the honest person to trust. But RFK knows who to trust.

The Illusion of Justice's avatar

We have been living under a fascist corporate dictatorship for the past forty years. Read my post today before it's too late to do anything about it.

Natalie's avatar

Quit the damn spamming already.

Nancy Cruz's avatar

Lastly, Michael, I really appreciate you and all you do. You are a fiercely, brave, truth teller

Gloria J. Maloney's avatar

I also want to thank Michael, and I appreciated the terrifying Madison Square Garden assembly of the Nazis. It's an important reminder.

Joseph Campo's avatar

I don't know the population of the greater NYC area in the 1930s, but when I grew up there in the 50s-70s, we were already around 8 million I think. So if it was half that, 4m, in 1939, only 20k traitors out of 4m people, I'd believe .005% of the people today are equally passionate about hating others. And willing to show it. How many of those young kids were deluded?

Susan's avatar

And then, boom, Pearl Harbor, and the fascist-lovers melted in the US!

Joseph Campo's avatar

Yep. My Dad, rest his soul, was in ww2 pacific arena. he didn't talk about it at all. I'm proud of what he did for our country. His generation was special.

Savi_heretic33's avatar

How is Trump a Nazi? He fully supports Israel.

Nancy Cruz's avatar

We have to take the House and the Senate in order to get anything accomplished

Joseph Campo's avatar

Both are possible. However, most important is Harris/Walz. I agree with you.

Mary's avatar

While encouraging it helps me understand why so many people support him. They've been there all the time just underground until Obama' presidency and Trump’s rhetoric released them. Once we win this election, each of us will be called upon to create the America we want to see. No more sitting around the dinner table or at social gatherings as Uncle Jack or best friend Joanne makes disparaging remarks about other people from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Accepting that for the country to be better we might have to make sacrifices, a bit more taxes for services that benefit others more than they benefit us. Knowing that while you don't need mental health services, better schools, better health services, not involved in the criminal justice system now but you might be one day, you are mindful there are others who do need and are affected by these things. Know that what affects one affects all

Mary's avatar

To complete my comment we must be prepared for personal changes this will require for all of us. I am confident we can do this.

Natalie's avatar

A bit more taxes? There's plenty to be garnered from those billionaires who pay next to nothing.

W.J. Gallo's avatar

I certainly needed this boost of optimism while I continue to delete all of my emails suggesting a neck and neck nail biter. I will suggest to others, not eliminating, but cutting back on cable news intake. It has definitely helped with my digestion.

Cary C Bland's avatar

Thanks for the encouraging post Mike! It is always comforting when you can make a credible argument for optimism in a seemingly bleak environment ! I have the occasional sleepless night where thoughts of the unthinkable creep in and take hold. A reminder like this today helps to keep me thinking positively.

Thank you for this, my friend!😊

I can feel the fear here in Ireland if Trump is elected, we are also going to suffer .

He has a passion of hate for us in Europe .

He has divided the world and will be the cause of another civil war in the US.

As for Ukraine? His first address will be to stop all support and help Putin to defeat Ukraine

Natalie's avatar

Family over there shocked, as freaked out as anyone.

J973's avatar

Ireland has lots of censorship, the good side is never the side trying to censor the other side.

Savi_heretic33's avatar

I thought Harris/Walz was the party of joy and vibes! What happened? It's now he party of fear?

melinda hirsch's avatar

Bless you, Michael. I have just picked myself up off the floor of despondency.

Nancy Cruz's avatar

So even if everything turns out OK at the polls, we’re gonna see the same kind of disrespectful behavior towards Kamala that we saw with Obama. You can take that to the bank.

Joseph Campo's avatar

Of course, and she's a woman, so, yep, there will be those tactics too. ignoramuses.

CaptJim's avatar

Has he paid for the event in advanced? Should not go forward if not paid for in advance!

Maryann's avatar

Good morning! Thank you Michael for your continuing diligence in keeping our democracy alive and sharing with us the many dangers that Donald Trump poses to this country if he is reelected! For those that haven't seen this documentary by Ken Burns, The US and the Holocaust, I would highly recommend you watch Wow! It opened my eyes GO HARRIS/WALZ I early voted yesterday

The Illusion of Justice's avatar

Harris is part of an administration that is providing material support for genocide right now! Read my post today.

Carol F. Yost's avatar

Thank you, Mike! I'm sharing this with my email list--the one I send articles with commentary to. Just amazing! By the way, did they kill that guy who tried to storm the podium?

Glad to see this and share it.

Joseph Campo's avatar

Reminded me of the guy who stood in front of the tank in Tian Mian square. I know that if they had had real patriots in that hall, that speaker would have been silenced with real outrage.

marcia shaich's avatar

Wow! Thank you for your words and video. I’ve been feeling more panicked day by day but I trust your intuition and thought processes. I can NOT imagine the US of A led with extreme hate, sadism and torture for those who need the most support and strength. Fingers crossed that Kamala will prevail and let’s hope we can finally retire nasty, Ted Cruz too. Let’s bury all the lies, hate, and cruelty for 2025! God bless Michael Moore and his belief that orange man will finally zip up his mouth and disappear from my sleepless nights.
