When you see people cheering at rally despite obvious lunacy & hatred this man spews, remember THIS:

[kpete]

We must defeat these people.
We must crush them at the polls.
We must issue a profound rebuke to this dark, twisted vision of America and the people that embrace it.

[Proud liberal 80]

1. Wow

When was the photo taking? Probably 100 years ago? And they are still spewing the same slogans today. Conservatives and racists always try to wrap themselves around the flag and God.

[yardwork]

2. Clothes look like 1930s.

3. 1920s - in Binghamton, NY

The interactive map

No information showing for states.

There is, however, alot of other info.

Hate and racism exploit the ignorant so men can pursue greed and power.

23. Yikes never heard of them.

Talk about far right wackos-- or would that be wacki ?

25. 2003 - George Nader "America First" policy espoused

The now infamous Meuller witness George Nader was quoted in the DailyStar of Lebanon 2003

The Arab-American analyst added: “Basically, America after Sept. 11 is one thing and America before Sept. 11 is history.”

The new guiding principle of post-Sept. 11 policy is that American interests have absolute priority.

“We witness an era of ‘America first.’ For better or worse, right or wrong, we are looking after our own interests, our own economic welfare, before anything else,” Nader said.

He believes that without Sept. 11, US President George W. Bush would not have considered embarking on radical foreign policy adventures like invading Afghanistan and Iraq.

Oh the "child pornography" charges against him in 1985 were dropped.

[Katinfl]

51. OMG!

I am from Binghamton NY and never would have imagined that took place there. It was a great place to grow up.......this surprises me, although it shouldn’t.

[renegade000]

6. Something I didn't know until recently...

The whole white sheet KKK get-up is actually cosplay from the original 1915 "Birth of a Nation." The original KKK wore disguises and masks and such, some of which were ghost costumes, but it wasn't until the 20th century KKK revival that the white sheets became the standardized wear.

[kag]

12. Figures.

Thanks, D.W.

[dameatball]

16. In turn replaced by camo T-shirts and red ball caps, circa 2016

[Comatose Sphagetti]

32. Nailed it.

Around these parts in rural Indiana it's camo T's plus beards, bellies and baseball caps.

5. Conservatives think politics is a game and a joke.

It's neither of those things.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

13. It is a game and a joke when...

you're trying to destroy the very organization that employs you. That's one reason they could care less about wasting money on fancy doors and furniture.

Can you imagine applicants for jobs at a corporation saying when asked their aspirations for the future: "I just just want to demean and deconstruct your company as quickly as possible"?.

We should get a huge refund from these bastards.

15. You know what this reminds me of? One of my favorite 30 Rock episodes called "Tanking It".

In the episode, Liz Lemon discovers that Jack is purposefully producing shitty program after shitty program so that he can purposefully tank NBC's ratings. Maybe that's what's happening here - we're just tanking it.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

42. Missed that one, but will try to see snips on YouTube.

The Repug's pattern has been clear ever since they started super charging their anti-tax push and demonizing everything to do with "gummit":

Defund/demonize/eliminate or privatize. It's working as we speak. Time to fire them all and send their damned lobbyists with them.

...................

[Initech]

43. It did give us one of 30 Rock's funniest scenes:

[KY_EnviroGuy]

49. LOL, thanks.

That game show host acts just like a Faux News anchor. No, no.....no facts allowed here!

[lastlib]

38. Unless, of course, you are secretly working for another company.........

like, for instance, Russia...............?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

40. Hopefully...

Mr. Mueller has transcripts of all the "job interviews".

Personally, I think the "company" is the large international cabal of greedy and immoral plutocrats around the globe, working loosely in concert to increase their power and wealth. For example, Putin, Murdoch, Mercer and Koch. Putin just seems better than most at using their favorite tools.

[JHB]

47. Those people also usually offer golden parachutes...

...to the people they’re talking to. It has been very effective, and once they have their Mitts on the co trolls of the company, they “streamline” it, mostly into their pockets.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

48. All part of the corporate M&A game - the wrecking crews.

Also comparable to tRump placing the worse choices (for us) in his cabinet. Each one that was announced last year was a total shock!

[Iggo]

7. "Despite"? Surely you mean "in celebration of".

[riversedge]

8. The media should have cut him off-esp msnbc when he called Maxine Walters

a low IQ. Shame on the media and Trump

[Hermit-The-Prog]

14. media loves money

TrumPutin brings dollars so all tv networks want him to keep going. Shut 'em off, unsubscribe, tell 'em to be fair or be gone! They are just as biased as in 2016.

[BobTheSubgenius]

10. If the unthinkable happens - skating on the investigation(s) and reelection - the world will see.

And what they will say is...."Son of a bitch. They really meant it."

One aberration at the polls is just that. The second time, it's not only real, there was a bright line drawn under it, and it's all in caps.

[kag]

11. Thanks, kpete.

Your posts are the only ones on DU that I always read. They've been keeping me sane lately.

[Exotica]

17. Trump stole your username for his 2020 re-election slogan

Keep America Great .. KAG

Bleeech

[kag]

19. And I was just starting to feel a little better...thanks!

(Kidding, of course.)

But Ugh. I hadn't noticed that yet. I think I'm going to have to leave the country.

[Exotica]

26. Aww hugs, it will get better!

[Initech]

27. Read the Top 10 Conservative Idiots every week!

[2left4u]

18. I agree

We need to be careful of over promoting this meme as its a double edged sword for us.

[erronis]

20. And don't forget that a lot of his crowds are paid actors

Remember the first anemic actors that sat in the bleachers behind him for $50 each.

I wonder how many of the got "stiffed".

Now think about the same paid and hoping-to-get-paid people sitting and yelling for this carny. Oh, yeah - they'll get paid if they are part of the 0.01%. They're going to get "stiffed"/shafted otherwise.

Does Dump/Kushner think that putine will honor his commitments to settle up? They're stupider than they act and their stupidity will hurt millions of people. They don't give-a-shit.

28. If I recall we fought a war to keep these assholes off American soil.

Now they're running the country. Funny how that works!

30. Nazis who want to 'take America back'.

[Hoyt]

29. All those white wingers know where it comes from, and they love it.

[Evergreen Emerald]

31. I'll bet they are paid.

There had been a story during the primaries about him paying for people to show up. I don't know why there has been no investigation on this. How much of our tax dollars are going to his stage.

[demigoddess]

33. No wonder he is collecting campaign dollars already- he needs these shows to

keep his base rallied and interested.

[BannonsLiver]

34. Pffft the KKK is kids stuff

My mind goes to Nuremberg , late 1930s. Next level evil.

[elocs]

35. There needs to be a "We Will Help You Get an ID to Vote" organization.

Doing whatever is needed to get one whether it's getting a birth certificate or just a ride to the DMV. There are millions of dollars out there being thrown at candidates and campaigns so having a boots on the ground organization to help anyone who needs to get an ID to vote.

[undercover_redneck]

36. Yep.

[smirkymonkey]

37. Gives me the creeps.

[Cha]

39. And, we're suppose to respect

these assholes.

41. In 239 days we will CRUSH THEM AT THE POLLS.

[garybeck]

54. good luck with that.

i hope the election system is secure and the russians don't "meddle" again.

[garybeck]

44. Don't get me wrong but...

i agree we should all vote and do everything we can to encourage others to do so

but we have a problem.

our election system is not secure.

I know enough about it to say it can be hacked.

We know enough about what the russians did last time to know there is a problem.

even if they just get into the voter rolls and don't touch the results, that can be enough.

we have to deal with the problems in our election system.

voting is not enough.

[YOHABLO]

45. Paper ballots

[garybeck]

53. Nope.

paper ballots is only 50% of the problem.

in my state (Vermont) we have 100% paper ballots but our system is vulnerable because optical scanners count the ballots. the optical scanners are only marginally better than the touchscreen machines because the software on the scanners can be hacked easily and one machine can affect the entire state.

[Left-over]

50. Amen to this!

52. Two comments:

First:

(Note the predominant use of white in both the historical and modern photos, accented by red.)

Second: See the two American flags perched atop the banner poles? Reminds me of a jacked-up pickup truck I saw over the weekend flying American flags atop both sides of its cab. Same configuration, and doubtless the same underlying sentiment.

[dottie66]

55. Yes Yes Yes Everyone needs to vote
