On February 20, 1939, a pro-Nazi rally took place at Madison Square Garden, organized by the German American Bund. More than 20,000 people attended. The Bund billed the event, which took place two days before George Washington’s Birthday, as a “pro-Americanism” rally; the stage at the event featured a huge Washington portrait with swastikas on each side.

The Bund was a pro-Hitler organization in the United States before World War II. The group promoted Nazi beliefs in the United States, combining Nazi imagery with American patriotic imagery.

The Bund was the most influential of several pro-Nazi groups in the United States in the 1930s; others included the Teutonia Society and Friends of New Germany (also known as the Hitler Club). Alongside allied groups, such as the Christian Front, these organizations were virulently racist.

A political history of ‘The Garden’​



Madison Square Garden, where Donald Trump and JD Vance are scheduled to hold a fundraiser and rally today, has a long history of political events. Some have been peaceful. Some have not.

Much of the commentary this weekend can be expected to focus on another historical antecedent, from 1939, when more than 20,000 people, many wearing Nazi armbands, filled the Garden for a “Pro America Rally” in support of Adolf Hitler.

Inside, on a stage draped with Nazi banners, red, white and blue bunting and a 30-foot portrait of George Washington, speakers railed against the “Jewish-controlled press” and referred to the president as Franklin “Rosenfeld.” One approvingly called Washington “America’s first fascist.”

Attendees paid 40 cents to $1.10 to enter.

For Trump’s Sunday event, top donors are offered an “Ultra MAGA Experience” for $924,600.

Nazi Town, USA’ chronicles the rise and fall of pro-Nazi American Bund​


American Experience: Nazi Town, USA tells the story of the Bund, which had scores of chapters in suburbs and big cities across the country and represented a real threat of fascist subversion in the United States.

The Bund held joint rallies with the Ku Klux Klan and ran dozens of summer camps for children centered around Nazi ideology and imagery.

Its melding of patriotic values with virulent racism and xenophobia raises thorny issues that we continue to wrestle with today.

It's this type of rhetoric that I find SO distressing.

And the fact that Trump's supporters cannot see it but can EASILY find sufficient evidence that Kamala is a raging Marxist despite there being no actual evidence present just makes things even more confusing.

I would almost be willing to accept the Right's complaints about the Left's potential economic policies if they would occasionally admit that their guy uses Nazi phrases ("poisoning the blood") from time to time. If they could be counted on to eat least understand that they might be able to rein him in if he tries to go forward with that.

But instead they act as if saying some "enemies within" our "poisoning our blood" is perfectly normal speech.
 
Trump's MSG rally draws comparisons to 1939 Pro-Nazi rally

Donald Trump's extreme rhetoric and rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City has drawn comparisons to when supporters of Hitler packed the Garden in 1939.
