Watch a Year's Worth of Trump Supporters Spouting Vitriol, Racism, Fascist Rhetoric
New York Times releases unfiltered footage from a year of Trump rallies
It's no secret that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump fills his speeches with nationalism and xenophobia.
And in a three-minute video published by the New York Times late Wednesday, a collection of clips from the divisive nominee's rallies throughout the past year reveals how Trump's chilling rhetoric is being channeled by his followers.
Watch the footage here:
Over the course of several minutes, Trump supporters--alternately jubilant and enraged--are shown spewing racist, homophobic, and sexist slurs, sucker-punching protesters, and displaying a worshipful attitude toward Trump that reminds viewers why his candidacy has been provoking comparisons to 1930s Germany.
Trump acolytes are captured shouting:
"Build the wall! Build the wall!"
"Send them bastards back!"
"If you don't speak English and you don't contribute, get out of here!"
"Get the fuck out!"
"Fuck Islam! Fuck 'em!"
"You don't talk about America when you're supporting Muslims!"
"Hang the bitch!"
"Sieg Heil!"
"He's the last chance we have to establish law and order."
"I swear, on Tuesday I will go to the polls and vote for Donald Trump!"
We are at a crossroads
This country and this world are at a monumental crossroads. In a few short weeks, US voters will have an opportunity to beat back the forces of fascism and confront the billionaires who are rigging the economy, our media system, and our democracy, making it increasingly impossible for ordinary people to get by. We’re not just talking about the election. We’re talking about what must be done once these fascist elements are vanquished from power. We need a bolder set of solutions than what either major party has so far been willing to offer and a working-class movement ready to fight like hell for it. Trump didn't emerge from nowhere. The conditions that fueled MAGA authoritarianism were created by decades of radical neoliberal economic policies and a corrupt political system dominated by corporate interests. They slashed taxes on the super-rich, promising that the benefits would trickle down. They said giveaways to the corporate titans would make life more affordable for the rest of us. It was all bullshit. And when a bitter, betrayed populace searches for someone to blame, right-wing demagogues have little trouble finding scapegoats. People know when they're being lied to, but you won't hear any of this from the corporate media. Only independent journalism—powered and funded by people who believe in building a better world—can deliver truly trustworthy daily news. Our Fall Campaign is underway, and we need your help. To power our newsroom through the rest of the year, we need to raise $125,000 by midnight on October 31. So if you share our vision, please contribute whatever you can to sustain our work. |
