Trump Campaign Rallies and Message Eerily Similar to Fascism

As Donald Trump continues his seemingly inevitable march toward the Republican nomination for president, it appears that all the searing hostility, bombast, anger, hate and resentment that has largely accompanied his campaign as exemplified by his most ardent supporters has followed suit.

By now, a sizable number of people have seen the video of a 20-year-old Black woman, Shiya Nwanguma, being attacked and accosted as she was being escorted out of a Trump rally in Louisville, Kentucky. Nwanguma, a college student, told reporters that she was kicked, punched at, had racist and sexist slurs hurled at her and was violently manhandled.

Trump, has shown little interest in dousing such fires, said Sunday that he is “considering” paying the legal fees of a man who was arrested after throwing a sucker punch at a protester during a rally in North Carolina last week. John McGraw, 78, has freely admitted to assaulting Rakeem Jones and said in an interview later that Jones “deserved it” and that “the next time we see him, we might have to kill him.”

These have not been isolated incidents at Trump rallies:

·        Last fall, a Latino man was spit upon by a diehard Trump supporter.

·        A Muslim woman was escorted out of Trump rally last fall.

·        Another Latino man was assaulted and thrown out of Trump rally as the crowd shouts USA! USA!
