Jonathan Karl: "Madison Square Garden was PACKED... Trump has created a movement, there is no doubt. I cannot think of another Republican figure of my lifetime who could've come into a Democrat city like New York and put together anything like that."

I believe I understand the point you are making.

Americans have a movement that is MAGA (political and quasireligious)

I think I have seen people call it the Fifth Great Awakening.

Unlike the previous Four Great Awakenings, America and the World are on a precipice of One World, possibly Satanic domination and government. It has never been like this.

What is happening is part Communists v Conservative, Constitutionalists and part Netherworld v Church Militant.

It's a very big deal and just starting to shake out.

On one side are the bad people, we know who they are.

One the other side are those who are unselfconscious Christians and Jews (especially Messianic Jews) who see all the 'political' happenings as potentially apocalyptic.

They are admixed with ambivalent, agnostic, and outright atheistic Conservatives who simply see this as a swing of the pendulum back toward the midline.

Many will make the journey from agnosticism to strong belief, simply because the Rats and bad guys are so evil, so organized, and are having a disproportionate success which suggests preternatural help from below.

But face it, we've never been confronted with so much evil, so much normalized evil, so much grotesque, debasing, dehumanizing, murderous, satanic prominently displayed evil.

This MAGA ain't no Chatauqua Movement.

This MAGA ain’t no Chatauqua Movement.

and that is why I continually post:

If I shake you awake in the middle of the night and ask what you are fighting for, after you reach for your gun, what do you tell me.

Folks, ask that question among your circle of influence.

I think the focus on his joke actually helps us.

It reminds everyone that the Left in general, and the MSM specifically, are all about censorship and the cancel culture.

The pearl clutchers who won’t vote for Trump because of this weren’t voting for him anyway.

“ I wasn’t aware we used comedians in the pre-rallies.”

I have watched nearly all of Trump’s rallies, including the pre-rally speakers. I do not recall ever having a comedian before. I do not know who hired the comedian, but that person should be fired. Several of the first few speakers yesterday also used the F word over and over again which was also not helpful.

I read that people were allowed to go in beginning at about noon. This is much earlier than at most rallies. I would guess this is because tens of thousands of people waiting in the streets of Manhattan is not the same as waiting by an airplane hanger or a field. Perhaps someone thought that there needed to be more entertainment due to the long wait before Trump spoke.
