1. I was hoping they would make an ad. It is good. Thanks for posting.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

2. I think that it is likely that there will be an ad out soon using this

3. That's the old "One Way" sign of the Jesus people. Meaning only one way to salvation.

[SergeStorms]

20. Yep. For these people....

there is no separation between their government and their god. There's not a dime's worth of difference between them and the Taliban.

[ShazzieB]

24. I remember that.

The slogan was "Jesus is the ONE WAY," while pointing up at the sky (i.e., "heaven&quot .

But these people look like they're pointing at the Slobdather, like HE is the "one way"! YIKES! 😱

[blm]

4. Christofascist.

In this case the fascism of the antiChrist.

[BlueJac]

5. The one finger Nazi salute!

These people are dangerous as hell!

[Duppers]

6. +1000

[Hortensis]

13. Yup. Hitler's Nazis were similarly adoring and virtuous.

Their righteous outrage turned to violent righteous vengeance against those who threatened all that was good -- as soon as the Nazis took enough power in their areas that they could get away with it.

[not fooled]

17. Yeah, they're missing three fingers

7. Never heard the music playing behind a live political speech before.

Wonder if it works.

[Hekate]

10. Of course it works. Anything set to music really gets locked into the brain...

Liturgy, for instance.

When I heard an old recording of Tom Lehrer’s song incorporating the Periodic Table I had to laugh out loud, because if I’d had access to to that little gem when I was in high school Chemistry (1964) I could have memorized it in a snap instead of going crosseyed every time I looked at the page.

[Traildogbob]

19. That's why they sing so much in church.

[Hekate]

26. Sure. Wisely, all the senses are activated in traditional worship services.

[Traildogbob]

27. What are the senses

Doing when talking in tongues, handling snakes and beating tambourines and maniac dancing all at once?

[Hekate]

28. Overload!

[The Jungle 1]

8. It is great we are finally calling out fascism.

Call it what it is every chance you get.

[Justice matters.]

22. We've been warning the nation about this tragic trajectory since 2015...

9. These folks are using the wrong finger.

[Gaugamela]

11. Wait till they turn around:

Invasion of the Body Snatchers

12. They were paid to do that - Chump's minions are paid actors

The campaign people recruit these actors, give them t-shirts, hats, signs, and tell them where to sit and when to cheer for Chump. They tell them to do this ridiculous "Nazi/not" salute because it's ALL FOR THE TV CAMERAS.

We can be sure that someone is making a documentary about Chump's return to the scene of his crimes.

Notice that only the ones in the floor seats are doing that one-finger salute. Nobody in the stands is doing it, because they are the spectators - the rubes who paid to see the show.

14. And he talks about a WWIII ????

WTF, does he think Putler's army is gonna come and rescue him so he can sit in the Oval Office again?
Bet he was hinting at a Civil War, but as normal for him he has to exaggerate.

[11 Bravo]

15. I despise that slimy orange mother-fucker like no other individual in my lifetime.

He is a creature with literally NO redeeming social value.

[markbark]

16. That's weird.

....i usually use a different finger whenever I hear TFG speak.

[SergeStorms]

18. No.

This is NOT the party I want running America!

I don't want that party living in America, but other than working for change there's precious little I can do about that.

It blows my mind that people that ignorant and easily fooled by a complete conman even exist. It must be horrible to have shit for brains.

[Justice matters.]

23. Mango incites his armed Nat-Cs to rid him of McTurtle and his Senate "RINO"s

He called McConnell by name saying he's a "disgrace" although it may be the only thing he said that is true...

Imagine... the Senate Minority Leader who confirmed his Qannon judge(s)... so thankful.

[Farmer-Rick]

21. ISIS uses that hand signal.

"The Islamic State militants, known as ISIS, are now using a single, raised index finger as the symbol of their cause. It’s a well-known sign of power and victory around the world, but for ISIS, it has a more sinister meaning....

Zelinsky writes that when ISIS uses the gesture, it is affirming an ideology that demands the destruction of the West, as well as any form of pluralism. For potential recruits around the globe, it also shows their belief that they will dominate the world."

https://theworld.org/stories/2014-09-04/isis-has-new-hand-sign-and-it-means-far-more-we-re-1

Are all those people at Trump's rally secret ISIS supporters? That is very weird. Did Trump inadvertently hire ISIS to act in his rallies? People better be careful about that weird hand gesture.

[SergeStorms]

29. There isn't a dime's worth of difference...

between ISIS or the Taliban and the MAGAs. They all want their government and their god to be one in the same. If you're not one of them, they want you dead. They're ignorant and dangerous.

They may say they're not the same as ISIS or the Taliban, but but the only difference is the god/government they worship. For ISIS and the Taliban, it's Mohammed. For the MAGAs, it's Donald Trump.

25. President Trump's recent nods to QAnon are "extremely disturbing."
